11 hour bus journey...

Today was a pretty long day taking a bus journey from Dar es Salaam to Arusha on a 'luxury' bus. The journey was supposed to take 9-10 hours but the driver was so slow it took 11. We were so pleased to finally get off the bus and have a walk round town, but it is impossible to simply enjoy a...

Stupid Stupid Police...

This morning we woke up nice and early in preparation for our Ferry journey back to Dar es Salaam. We decided to go in convoy with Erin and Mark, however, Chris wasn't paying attention and we lost them. I seriously was not impressed, then we got stopped by a corrupt arrogant policeman on the...

Last day in Zanzibar

Had another lovely day and went swimming for ages in the sea then finding a lovely local restaurant in the evening for about $3 per meal. We decided at around 9pm that we would leave tomorrow and head back to the main-land with our new friend Erin and Mark as they want to do the same things as...

Another relaxing day on a gorgeous beach...

Today we woke up and went to another lovely beach not far from where we are staying and splashed around in the sea for a while and then spent the evening playing drinking games and I lost loads of times :(

Sun-bathing

Today was a lovely day, and Tanzania sure is hot. We walked along the beach with Mark and Erin to a hotel with a swimming pool with a beach par and pool table and spent the day enjoying their facilities.

Beach Party

Although we felt a little jaded from the night before, we heard there was a beach party in Kendwa Rocks so headed down there for the evening. We had a fantastic time and the night flew by arriving back at 4am to be locked out of our B&B which meant Jason had to climb over the wall to wake up...

On the beach

After talking to a local guy we managed to pick up a 4x4 for only $25 per day, and Jason and Joyce got a motorbike for $15, although it's a little rustic it's a fantastic way to get around the island. We then found out the same guy also had a place right on the beach for just $35 per day so we...

Now in Zanzibar!

After 48 hours on the Tazara we were so happy to finally get off. We shared a taxi with Jason and Joyce to the Ferry to go to Zanzibar as we just wanted to get all our travelling finished with. I don't think we have ever appreciated a shower so much! Not at all what we expected but we...

Still on the Tazara

We are still on the Tazara, luckily I managed to sleep a little, unfortunately Chris barely had an hour, very surprised we didn't roll off the bed as it bangs and crashes every 10 minutes. However, I now know what cockroaches look like as many seem to live in our cabin! We made a couple of...
