... who had a reputation as magicians and if you said to someone that you would curse them they would wisper to someone to ask what tribe you were from to see if your threat had any weight to it. We got to our hostel a little late but the nice thing about traveling with someone is splitting a room. This was by far the biggest room I have stayed in so far and on top of it there was a bathroom in the room (bonus). We then went down to the bar to grab a bite to eat. At first I thought ...

I chatted with Kaseem, who works in admin in the hospital, last week about high season in Stonetown, hotel bookings, rates and general touristy stuff. 'It's so busy, you simply have to book', he said. 'But I am a public figure on Zanzibar, and together we will find the best place for your sister and your husband'. Excellent, I thought, and arranged to meet him after work for a tour of the 'premier guesthouses' of ...

... a question...could be, what is your favourite colour...and the others around the table have to guess what the persons answer is, ultimately, if your wrong, you drink..and on the positive, have learnt an interesting fact about a friend. Returning to the bar/club place alot more merrier then whence we had left, we danced the night away getting free shots from Arab fella's here and there. The boys bought a sheesha which i decide normally to stay off, mostly due to the fact that i would ...

... s first camping experience went well. Next morning went on Masai warrior village tour around the mud huts - very traditional, dress &amp; housing etc, apart from the latest cell phones connected to their spear belt. Liz's first chance to dance came with the Masai warriors sing &amp; dance show. quite a sight! Next day woke up at 5am at new campsite ready to visit Ngorongoro crater and on to Serengeti National Park ...

... doesn't really have any money as I could tell because all of his clothes were broken and his shoes had lots of holes which made me feel very sad! It made me realise again how lucky I am! 22/10 - I pretty much did the same thing as yesterday but did my other clothes washing. It was good fun, at first I found it soooo tiring but then I got used to it. WE ARE ALL INCREDIBLE LY LUCKY BECAUSE WE HAVE GOT WASHING MACHINES AT HOME! We should appreciate what we ...

... motorists, and retailers are "supposed" to be, then you make everyone more aware of, and concentrating more on, their neighbours and their safety. This experiment should be stopped. Keep those cars as far away from the pedestrians as possible! Have you seen how people drive! 4. Many people would be happy if the world's fat were "continentally redistributed". Posters everywhere in Tanzania and Uganda tell women how to "Gain Bums Quickly." If we ...

... was really embarrassing! I slept all the way because on the last plane from London to Johannesburg, there was this man who fidget awfully a lot and left the light on all the way, I was hoping that someone would say turn that bloody light off and stop moving around! But the advantage that I had on my 2nd flight was the leg room and more space! Thank godness for that! Landed to Dar es Salaam Tanzania... what can I say?! It is such a beautiful ...

Allison, Chris and myself grabbed a 10 am mini bus back to Stone Town. I would take a ferry to the mainland while they would spend a night in Stone Town. While on the mini bus, I met a nice girl from Wales who told me all about her trek up Kili. I was glad I met her as she made me feel excited about my upcoming trek. I wasn't feeling any excitement about the climb at all at that point. I don't know why. After ...
