Catán: Florencia en el Amazonas

Settlers of Catan - great fun!

Advantages: Very easy to learn; very different every time you play
Disadvantages: Board can be a little unstable

Settlers of Catan is a boardgame, which originally came out in the 1990s. The versions I've been playing is the version from Mayfair games. The basic theme of Settlers is that the players are - er - settling a new island in the middle of the ocean. As the game progresses, you build more settlements and cities, and connect them together using roads. Your settlements collect resources, which you then use to expand further. The board is made up of a number of hexagonal tiles. The outermost ones are sea tiles, beyond which you can't build (well, unless you buy an - optional - expansion). There are then 19 land tiles that make up the island of Catan - these are arranged in a hexagon.

Advantages: Delicious pastry and filling

Port El Kantaoui

Advantages: Beautiful Beaches
Disadvantages: Mainly For Couples, Hassle From Local Shopkeekers

Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built Holiday Resort on the Northern Coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It is situated just a few kilometres North of Sousse, Tunisia's second largest City after the Capital Tunis. It was built in 1979 with a modern 300 Yacht capacity Marina as its focal point. In recent years this Marina has become a popular mooring location for the rich and famous undertaking their Mediterranean Cruises and the Marina here is said to rival those long established Marinas of Nice and Marbella on the Southern Coast of Europe. It is now also Tunisia's most popular Holiday Resort. I stayed in Port El Kantaoui between the 2nd and 9th July 2006 and found the experience to be a rather interesting one.
