Our four days on zanzibar are now over, following a haze of sleeping on the beach, volleyball, swimming and eating lots of seafood.
Stone town, the main town in Zanzibar is really pretty in an old colonial style, and has the most amazing food market which is open in the evenings selling all types of fish on skewers. Stef and I had really nice lobster, tuna, malin and something else which was awesome!
We then headed up to the north of the island for a few days on the beach. Stef and I shared a quad room with Benjamin and Elaine, which was so much fun, complied with our excessive Englishness starting the evenings with gin and tonic sundowners on our veranda!
Lazy days on the beach was the name of the game except for yesterday afternoon when we went out for a sunset cruise on a traditional sail boat, and actually got to sail for a lot of the time since the wind was in our favour. A massive jumping competition off the top of the boat then insued before sunset swimming, which was amazing. Zanzibar is such a beautiful island,I dont want to leave!
But we’re back to Dar today (possibly for another midnight swim as our campsite is on the beach!) then two long drive days down to Malawi.
