Zantabulous

Earlier this summer, Jeremy and I spent a lovely week in Hawaii. Well, Hawaii, we regret to inform you that Zanzibar just kicked your ass. Please allow us to explain…

1. Beach-front Cottage. That’s right, our room was literally on the beach. At high-tide, we could almost dive into the water from our front porch.
2. Sunrise and sunset over the turquoise Indian Ocean. I know sunrise and sunset in Hawaii is pretty great, but since it was cloudy throughout our entire trip, Zanzibar wins.
3. Locals farming seaweed. The sandbar near our hotel extended 3KM out to sea and was spotted with small seaweed farms that ladies in kangas tended throughout the morning. Fascinating!
4. Zanzibar Pizza. Overpriced and luau food just doesn’t hold a candle to pastry dough wrapped around meat, veggies, an egg, and mayonnaise fried to a crisp for less than 2 USD. 
5. Stone Town. Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of the city as a whole, but the evening food market – a smaller version of the Marrakesh souks – was amazing.

Once we have a better Internet connection, we'll post pictures from this leg of the trip. However, I cannot believe our time in Tanzania is over. Asante sana, Zanzibar for helping us easily go out with a bang!
