Sunset Bungalows Zanzibar

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. “It’s terrible isn’t it? We’re just stunned, totally stunned. It’s a disgrace! A disgrace! Where have you flown in from? Nairobi? Hey Chloe! Another party has just arrived!” She ...

... were chained to. We also got to see the auction area where they were tied to trees and whipped. The slaves that cried the least were sold for more because they were thought to be stronger. A large hole that used to hold water was also there and was used as a punishment when they disobeyed; their heads were held underwater and many of the slaves died. It was really incredible to see this port that was so influential in the slave trade. We headed back to the mainland, got cleaned ...

My breakfast at the lodge is included with the room. Many places say they have breakfast, but it is usually cereal, bread and juice. At this place, the breakfast includes bacon, sausage, made to order omelets, bean and fresh fruit. I was greeted in the restaurant by the staff saying "good morning, Robert". During my breakfast the lady from the front desk came by and said she had taken the liberty of confirming my flight today and had arranged for ...

... The world is both smaller and vaster than we think. Smaller as we use technology to shorten the time and distance of connecting; vaster as more cultures interact and we realize the differences that make life both interesting and challenging. It's okay to want a taste of home while away. Though I missed an event I love to watch every four years, I'm grateful for the few moments I had and the surprise gifts I received.

... such a thrilling yet exhausting safari we stayed around Arusha for the day, despite the prices being a lot higher to what we are used to. But thats tourism for you. The place is nice but some how un-African. Me and Jessy did however share the nicest Indian curry ever and checked out a cool massai market too. We left early the next morning, planning to catch the ferry for Zanzibar that day, but as normal the journey just dragged on and on and we arrived to late. So using ...

... actually paid the taxi driver in advance. How naive is that? When I left the hotel in the morning, they were still waiting for the driver. I really wonder if he ever came? I walked over to the office of the spice tour company and while waiting for the tour to start met two lovely Canadian sisters on a round-the-world trip. They, along with two Germans, two Italians, a French woman, an Australian, an Alabaman (with both parents from Louisiana), and myself made up our group for ...
