On the fourth country now. Landed into Zanzibar yesterday and just taking it handy in Stone Town before we head up to the Northern beaches of Zanzibar tomorrow. Depite my initial horror at discovering our B&B was across from the fish market, and the fact that its cloudy and rainy, it turns out that Stone Town is actually really lovely.

AND, it's the fourth contry so far that is also riddled with reminders as per the picture attached to this.... Ive have literally seen hundreds of them by now!! At first I was really paranoid that the O word was just following me around (a bit like the Gambler!) Turns out it's just because there are so many African players for Arsnesal over here that it's by far and away the preferred team over here... Phew!!

(For the record - I've seen about 3 Vodafone jerseys!)

Prison Island
If you hget a chance, hop on a boat over to prison island to see the giant tortise. Some are 100 years plus. Its just a short trip away.

Also, make sure you try some of the pancakes that they cook along the waterfront. There's also another restaurant/bar near the waterfront where there is an amazing sunset if you want a good photo !

Re: Hilton again!
I know I know!! But 6 months is a long time without a bath, or a hairdryer, or tiramisu.... Hopefully that fix now will keep me going for the next 4.5 months! (or maybe they have a nice spa hotel in Zambia too....) Well I'm only human, and a girl, and an auld wan!
Will try and load up a few more photos to flickr before to long too. Give my love to all the Plunketts! And the Donnellans too when you see them! Later hun.
