seriously. Quit your jobs. Fly to Zanzibar. I'll meet you here.
The last day and a half has been amazing. I love it. Its beautiful and exotic. The beach is stunning. And there is internet.
We left Stonetown at 8 yesterday morning, and stopped at a spice farm on the way. Got to try lots of yummy fruits.
We continued on and got to our hotel, www.amaanbungalows.com at around noon. We had a quick lunch at the restaurant overlooking the beach, and then I hit the beach for some suntannning and swimming. Happy hour starts at 5, so I sampled a few cocktails, and watched the tide come in and the sunset. We all walked down to the next restaurant down the beach for dinner. We headed back to bed. It is so amazing to be in a hotel room again. I had two pillows. Full size, comfy pillows. It was awesome.
Breakfast this morning was delish. Pancakes with nutella. June and I walked down the beach a long ways, and then headed back a bit and lounged for a while. We came back up and had a cool drink and lunch, and I hit the beach again for the afternoon. After my internet I am headed back for happy hour. Life is good.
It will be my last night with most of the group. A few of us who are finishing the trip in Zanzibar decided to stay on up North for an extra night, instead of returning to Stonetown. It gives me an extra day and a half at the beach, before I fly out on Sunday evening.
I will post again in the next day or so, before its time to leave this paradise. Sigh.
Much love to all! XOXO
It all sounds AMAZING! and I can't wait to hear more about each of the places, and all of the stories. You will need to have a slide show for us all, so you can tell everyone all the stories at once. It is still quite cold (-30), but supposed to warm up somewhat. I'm heading to Whse tomorrow for Dana's hockey... I haven't stayed at your place yet, but if your mom doesn't have rooom for us tomorrow night, we may crash at your place. We can "camp" in our sleeping bags, but it will be luxurious camping! ENjoy your last day or two, and I hope all goes well on your trip home!

It was great to talk to you this morning, although it took me a minute to realize it was you! I was still half asleep I guess. It sounds like your trip has been amazing, something else new and exciting at every place.
ReplyDeleteNicole, Kristian and kids were here for dinner tonight, they are heading back to Faro in the morning. It was nice to see them, baby Lilija has grown lots.
Enjoy the rest of your stay in exotic Zanzibar. Safe journey home.
Lots and lots of love
Mom and dad
