... than the other place and I wouldn't have to move my stuff far. I was really happy to see that I got a bungalow right on the beach with a great view. I was thinking of going fishing or doing some scuba but I heard negative things on the diving and was too lazy to go fishing...I just wanted to relax. That night went to the party and thought it was a little overblown. It was nice partying on the beach and having a nice big fire right there but not as fun as I was hoping. August 23rd ...

....no worries. That's how life is on Zanzibar. If the pace gets much slower it may just stop altogether. It's a wonderful way to spend a holiday but I'm not sure about it as a modus vivendi. I've been here for nearly two weeks now and am really settling into it. Stonetown is fabulous - a real melting pot, where East, West and African meet. The city is all winding streets and spice vendors, fishmarkets, coffee sellers, craftsmen and dawdlers ...

... restaurant. Slightly frustrated at having not bought anything I was pleasantly surprised when Sarah suggest a little lane I had by passed, full of brightly coloured shawls, wood carvings, bags and pottery. Had a slight Moroccan/Fes feel to it and was a place bargains could be found so after having bought about 20 million scarves I skipped back to the restaurant happy, picked up Oliver and shot off to the bar "Mercury" for lunch.. Mercury is a bar/restaurant ...

... office at the ferry port on Zanzibar... so worst case senario we might have to shed a few tears and ask desperate. Good thing over here due to the corruption and bartering, something like that might actually work. We'll see though! So far our plan for Zanzibar is to walk around the winding roads of Stone Town for a couple days, do a Spice Tour, visit Prison Island, swim with wild dolphins in Kizimkazi, visit the ...

... most of it done.  I was amazed because Tanzanian people work much harder and quicker than English builders, sorry no offence! I was arranging with a teacher to get John back as I wanted to see him again!   10/12 -  Elirehema has completed the shelves which look amazing and he then kept on asking what else he could do. I decided to give him more jobs as he was very motivated! The door needed to be fixed because the handle and lock were broken so therefore the wood needed to be taken ...

... 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 ...

... with some people in Manzini tomorrow. I don't think I am going to go to sleep tonight as I have to get up at 3.30am! I will try to get on the internet when I am away, but I don't think it will be very easy. So I'll say goodbye to you all now and look forward to letting you know about the next part of this incredible journey. Goodbye Dar but I will be back in December and can't wait to show Mum, Dad and Cameron everything when they come. Love you all, bye bye for now. xxxx

... we'd have to pay to get through any gate now). Frustrated and lacking trust in the operation, I refused to pony up any extra cash (actually, I lied and said I didn't have any). In the office at the park gate, a bunch of safari guides and park staff gathered to discuss our predicament. In the end, it was decided that we should go back to Moshi and try to get some money back from Jacob... things were starting to smell like a scam. At this point, the park staff ...

... conveyances), and we would really prefer to share it. Unfortunately for us, another American snagged the two Japanese on our bus before we could, so we were left with a very expensive taxi ride. Another bus came in, and Travis pointed with glee, "White people!" We scurried. You can't go a lot faster when you're surrounded by taxi drivers and wearing two packs each. Yes, they would love to share a taxi, and after the rigamarole of driving down prices ...

... because he was really annoying. So then after the one place I was like ok GO AWAY. And he's like no no mam I don't want anything I don't want your money....blah, blah blah...And then I'm like good bye see you later kwaheri and found a museum that had an entry fee that I knew he wouldn't want to go in and went in there to get rid of him. So later that night up comes this other guy that is like so I saw you earlier today and you ...
