Welcome to Paradise

No, I am still alive, but this is what local people call Zanzibar. And I have to say, it is beautiful!!!

To safe money I took the cheapest ferry. USD 20, 3 hrs, instead of USD 35, 1 hr. The 1st four nights I spent in Stone Town. Wondering around, visitng the market, joining a spice tour and just enjoying the island. As I arrived on Saturday it was really very, very hot. I thought there would be some wind as it is an island, but I was wrong. Deo, the brother of a friend back home came to pick me up. He took me around Stone Town and with him I visited the northern part of the island, Nungwi.

On Wednesday Jen and I took the dala dala to go up to Kenda Rocks. This hotel has been recommended to me by Karin and she was absolutely right, a wonderful place. I was happy I just took my daypack as we had to walk a short distance from the mainroad to the hotel. And as I had planned to only stay for two nights there was no need for me to bring my big bag. Actually my bag is not that big but it is heavy. I really wonder why. Back home I had really tried my best to not pack a lot of things, but for some reasons.....

The days on the beach were so nice, I just decided to extend my stay and book another two nights. It was even cheaper then Stone Town so that was another good reason to stay. On Saturday I went snorkeling and in the evening they had the "Full Moon Party". That was really nice. I don't think I have ever before danced as much.

Today is my last day in Zanzibar. I am taking the night ferry and will arrive in the early morning in DAR. Even though we had a little rain most of the days, the time here was great.

As soon as I get a faster computer with a better connection I will load up some pictures.
