ZANZIBAR

We made it home on Saturday and found ourselves a little tired (and some of us a bit sick). What a week filled with sand, sun and culture. The ferry out to Zanzibar was a nice two hour cruise. We had heard that it could be a bit rough and that sick sacks were commonly handed out…..but not this trip. We arrived to find a whole new world. Our taxi took us to the very northern tip of Zanzibar, a one hour trip back through time. We arrived to find paradise. The accommodations were just right, the sand white, the weather HOT, and the company of the natives was welcome. We could not have imagined a better spot to relax. The next few days were spent on the beach, roaming through the local village, snorkeling, eating, and watching the sunset………repeat as necessary. We left on Thursday morning for a spice tour and Stone Town. The spice tour was fantastic and educational. At Stone Town we stayed in the Tembo Hotel. The last two days we shopped and lazed around some more by the hotel pool. What a week! The pictures do not do the trip justice but hope they convey a bit of what we had to endure………:-) We will be heading off on Safari tomorrow morning and will return on Friday afternoon/evening so until then...............
