Zanzibar Part 2 and Malawi

Sitting in Nungwi with a cut leg and staring at perfect turquoise water that I couldn't swim or snorkel in got old fast. So after a two day rest there I decided to head down to Stone Town, the hub of Zanzibar. At least there I had more options. The island of Zanzibar had its heyday from the 16th to the 19th century when it was the main export hub for the ivory, gold and slave trade from East Africa, most of which were headed to India, Asia and the Middle East. Oman took control during this ti...

I'm gay...leave me alone ;)

... small talk with a large Tanzanian prostitute is not my idea of fun and we took off to go to a club close by that we were told was good. We got to the club and once again there were a ton of prostitutes. The weird thing is that it's not like we were in a bad neighbourhood or anything and it was funny because some of the old men and greasy Italians actually got rejected. The only thing I could think of was that the girls had already tried to get him to pay for sex and he had refused but ...

... me with him, so kindly seats me at a tailor's bench with the tailor, who has three wives and wouldn't mind a fourth - we have a great chat ....<br><br>12.30am Kaseem comes back. The tailor, Kaseem and I chat about marriage. I ask how the tailor manages three wives. 'I love them all' he says, 'but I only trust one'. Sounds reasonable enough. <br><br>12.45 am Worryingly, we're on the road out of Stonetown. We stop ...

Dar Es Salaam- Good times

... inside danced and had many a Tequilla shot and lots of fun...found some G-unit lookalikes with proper metal mouths, looked a little like i did with my braces, minus the fact that they were black and seriously bing'ed up, maybe more reminiscent of 'Jaws' from Bond...?! we left the place later, hugely ****** and very happy...and found out later on when we met up with the scot girls again in zanzibar, that we had left them behind at the club...felt really bad!! Next day early morn ...

Spent the next couple of days making our way down to Dar es salam stopping at a campsite in the mountains where we had our first campfire watching the sunset. Second night we set up camp on the shores of the Indian ocean under a palm tree - first day in the sea, mass cooking experience ...

... English with them which was good - they really are clever, they seem to understand everything! I played some games with class 6 and then we did some dancing practice which we all felt very confident about and were looking forward to Sunday. The girls and I then put together a programme for Sports Day, working out what we should include etc. 25/10 - Holly, Hayley and I went to Bongoyo Island where we saw loads of eels and jelly fish - they were massive ...

Lessons Learned

... businessmen through PowerPoint presentations with equal fervour. Now, I believe in the power of prayer to effect positive change in one's life in a general sense. There is an unfortunate side effect here, though: a fatalism, a sense of determinism that can work against the progress that comes from rational thought. People often find comfort in thinking that a personal tragedy, such as a death in the family, fits into a larger plan that God has for ...

Welcome to Tanzania!

... and chips. As soon as we got back, I passed out onto the bed. The next morning, Soraya woke me up at 8. After I had my lovely breakfast with my peanut butter, we went to Slipway to get my phone sorted it out! We went out for a drive and had a look around Dar Es Salaam. We all went to the beach and the sea was out so Soraya, Jahyra and I went for a walk toward to the sea, there were LOADS of ugly sea urchins! We all built a sandcastle. We all had ...

Back on the Mainland

... waiting area, I ran into Beth and Katie again - the two English girls I met in Jinja and later ran into in Kendwa. I sat with them for the whole ferry ride back to Dar Es Salaam. We yapped a lot about the Full Moon Party as well but at a certain point we hit some pretty choppy waves and started feeling a bit nautious. So we just stopped talking and started focusing on not throwing up. By the end of the ride ...
