Fairmont Zanzibar

... and after we were done snorkelling we headed to this beach to have lunch. <br> They had cooked us tuna, rice, chapatti, salad, and fresh fruit for lunch, which I enjoyed everything but the tuna! We then started our boat journey back to our resort. Once back we went for another swim, showered, and then just kind of hung out for the rest of the night. Last nigth was mellow, because everyone was tired from the sun and we are having a big night tonight since it is our last night before ...

Gister zijn we aangekomen in ons hotel op zanzibar. De grootste meevaller van de dag is dat blijkt dat wij onze kamer hebben geboekt op basis van diner (dat wisten we) maar dat ook de drank inclusief is tijdens deten:-) We vallen gelijk verder met onze neus in de boter want er is die avond een beachparty. Ongeveer 800 meter verder van het hotel is het prive strand waar je overdag met suffe golf ...

... ZIFF office from Nairobi. It was a neatly clipped bunch of syllables that conjured images of computer printouts and agendas organized alphabetically. Her smile was rectangular, her eyes wide, her hair wild and her voice only barely under control. &#8220;It&#8217;s terrible isn&#8217;t it? We&#8217;re just stunned, totally stunned. It&#8217;s a disgrace! A disgrace! Where have you flown in from? Nairobi? Hey Chloe! Another party has just arrived!&#8221; She ...

... its cool and cool snacks to munch on! today was still a long drive to the border the quickest corssing yet on overland left by 2:14 and the clocks go back an hour here so used to being 2 hrs ahead!! we stayed at Chitimba the north part of Malawi and wow you saw the lake in sight the famous malawi lake frshwater amzing!!!!! at least half an hour after driving across the border, we drove and reach ...

Today we arived in beutiful Zanzibar, Tanzania. It took us two and a half hour ferry ride to reach the island. Stonetown is 95% Muslim so Brett and the girls had to cover up their shoulders to stop any comments that could be directed at them. It is an incredible looking place with beutiful white sand beaches.<br><br>After we checked into our hotel rooms we went on a spice tour of Zanzibar. First the tour brought us to the slave market museum, where people ...

... between two trees. There was littrely 100s of spiders in the mass of webs. We looked around the shops and Nat went shopping!! That night we went to the famous night markets and had zanzibar pizza, Banana and choc.. On the way to the market I got offered to buy drugs by some random dude. We were told not to buy anything as if you do the locals will shop you to the local police and you will be asked to pay ...

... Of course, with affordability comes some down sides, including warm but murky water, on shore coral in front of the guesthouse that Maddie seriously sliced her foot on the first day (Andy played doctor and we avoided a trip to the local clinic), mosquitos that defied all chemical measures of deterrence, and no where else to eat within miles. Fortunately, the place was interesting enough to make the stay enjoyable. As the only hotel guesthouse in Bububu ...

... there and had a bite to eat. I had a cheese &amp; tomato toasted bagel and a decent cup of joe. At the transfer desk a bunch of Kenyans were hoopin' and hollering and Mary told me this was quite the norm in Africa. According to her, arguing in loud voices is common but usually not to be taken seriously. That's somewhat similar to Arabs here in the Gulf who can be quite boisterous and passionate when discussing matters. Our flight to Zanzibar ...

So I've been tooling around Tanzania with Geoffrey for the past week and it's been wonderful. The best thing about getting older is, without a doubt, old friends. And flying across the world to see a friend you haven't seen in so many years, and then touring around a unique and beautiful country has been a great gift. It's been a wonderful time of catching up and sharing new stories all thrown in with reminiscing about the past, how ...

... tomorrow night but they were all closed as it wasn't even 9 am.. It wasn't a big deal. Chris and Allison were already well stocked with home made Mozambique rum so they said they would sell me a few bottles. I am glad I met them! I went to the beach as soon as I reached Kendwa. There are toursists everywhere. I totally do not feel like I am in Africa. I could actually be anywhere in the world right now. If it wasn't for this ...
