... out the bags to women and children that I could see..I guess it was insulting to give one to a man. Well once the boat took off and the kids next to me started spewing I was wondering if I would have to steal the bag one of the girls got but it quickly passed. So I got a matatu to Kendwa and was really happy with the place. It was right on the beach and relatively cheap for the area. The sand is probably the finest sand I have seen...it was more like flower than sand. Tried to get ...

... br>5pm We are both dying of hunger and thirst and make a brief stop in Nungwe for food.

5.30pm BACK ON THE ROAD!

6pm Have I ever seen a spice farm? No I have not. Kaseem decides this is a terrible shame and takes a rather long route back to stonetown so i can see one. We drive for more ages. They are beautiful, and I'll definitely come back for a tour.

6.30pm Back in Stonetown! Hurray! Do ...

Time to leave this beautiful island ;-( Shame really want to stay another few nights... weeks... months. If only it was a little cheaper. With the ferry leaving at 3pm we spent our last day in Stone Town browsing the various lanes and shops but trying to stay away from the souvenir shops which I found to be extorionately overpriced. Problem with everything being in US$... nothing is ever under US$1 but rather closer to US$20. Rip! Nice town but glad we decided to ...

... the chickens hanging from the overhead bins, and came back to the YWCA in Dar es Salaam for the 3rd time since we've been here! We spent the day trying to figure out future plans, arranging flights, getting money out, and unfortunately saying goodbye! :( Chelsey unexpectedly decided to leave so she could spend some time with her father, so she obviously is not coming to Zanzibar with is anymore! :( We said a sad goodbye ...

... I spoke to her we decided to go to Posta with the kids and had lunch there.  Deo then told me that he had to go home because his mum wanted him home and told the school he had to go home! I was gutted but respected Deo's decision but he said that he was going to stay here for a bit longer! Isaya also went home on that day! He was very calm, honest and kind; again he wasn't looking forward to going home because he has no friends at home and his family can't communicate with him. 8/12 ...

... not in the style that we now get to live! It's not the easiest life i'll admit, no security, no friends for longer than a few weeks( glad i'm not travelling alone), and sure, no real luxuries... But why? Why do I do this? It's complicated and yet so simple. Infact thats part of it, making things simple! When one sheds all the supurfulous burdens of a misguided society, the worries fall ...

... they were all hugging me, everyone wanted to say goodbye. Lots of the children were very sad but not as much as me. Part of me felt this was the end of my trip but in fact it was just the beginning of my involvement with Buguruni School. In the evening, I went to a restaurant called George and the Dragon with Holly, Hayley, Soma and Richard where we had dinner. When I got back, quite late, the nuns were still awake but they wanted to say goodbye to me ...

... his shoulders... the ladies had been told that Suguru and I were French... this was the first sign that we may not be on the best-organized safari. That day we went to Lake Manyara for a game drive, and then proceeded to the Ngorongoro crater the next day (we would head to the Serengeti the day after). I was starting to get excited, as most people I had spoken with in town and while on safari had seen amazing things in the crater and the Serengeti ...

... to Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania. Even though it's Sunday, the traffic was a nightmare and was very slow getting into the town centre. A few of us decided to explore the city centre late afternoon, while the others continued the long way round to the camp site. We made our way back to meet the others, by taking the car ferry as a short cut across the bay.

... know that they will be set and get money whenever they need it. So this one guy has 3 girlfriends one African one Deutch and I think one was German. Isn't that crazy. What a bizarre life. So, needless to say I got harassed everywhere that I went it was ridiculous. It is really funny too because they are pretty good at getting a read of people and recognizing you and remembering things. On Sunday I decided to treat myself to a self ...
