So this is a super quick blog i don't really have time to do one but don't know when ill next get internet so here goes!
we spent 4 nights on Zanzibar the first in the pyramid hotel in stone town not really doing alot as LP was a bit poorly the next day we went on a spice tour it went all day and included samples of some very strange fruit mostly including a Dorian which smells a bit like death (and doesn't taste alot better...) they smell so bad they are banned on airplanes! they are a huge favorite amongst the locals tho! we also tried a jackfruit which looks and tastes a bit like a cross between a banana and a pineapple! weird in the afternoon after a scrumptious lunch we headed north to Mangapwani beach and slave caves and learnt a little about the area then it was back to stone town where we met up with Mary mums friend from nursing school who was kind enough to put us up for 3 nights! the next day we explored stone town with Mary it makes such a difference when you are with a local making it one of our best days out! that night we went to a concert at the music school a bizarre fusion of Swahili and a Norwegian jazz band was really cool though! next day we went out for the whole day snorkeling the best we have done so far and we saw dolphins from the boat! next day we headed back to Dar we drove all day and all the next day to Mesarani snake park where we got to hold a snake! cool! then we went to the Ngorrangorro crater (spelt so wrong sorry) where we spent one day and one night game driving best spot was elephants with full tusks they must have been about 2m long! then the next day driving to Nairobi where we are now and i am late to meet people for lunch so off i go sorry its so short!!!!......Asanti sana...(squashed banana)
