Zanzibar pictures

Starting out. We even look tired here thanks to the 4am wake up call to make the bus for 6am. Our arrival picture, however, looks worse. So does the picture of our swollen feet. Neither are included here. Sorry!
Simultaneously enjoying two simple pleasure that aren't available in Rwanda - food and plastic bags! In this case, food IN a plastic bag.
The bus stopped often but for not very long. If you were still in line for the pit latrines when the bus honked you had to run and jump on just to catch it.
Our favourite haunt in Dar - the Badminton Institute which had fabulous Indian food.
From the top of Kilimanjaro Kapinski (sp?) Hotel in Dar. The Level 8 bar and good drinks and a great view of the harbour as the sun et. 
The safety boat on the slow ferry Flying Horse to the island. We chose to take the fast ferry back and, even though they did had out barf bags, we managed (with the help of Gravol) to keep our stomach's full.
Of course, we took Gravol on the slow ferry too and this was the result. 
Karibu Zanzibar (Welcome to Zanzibar). 
Putting my feet in the Indian Ocean for the first time.
Out for drinks with our VSO Tanzania counterparts.
Christmas Day on the beach. (Yes this was originally a full body shot but let's be honest, who wants to see that?)
Watching the sun set on Christmas Day and enjoying Kilimanjaro beer.
The tree I brought was Snoopy size.
Bakhtim cooking our Red Snapper on the fire. As stoned as he usually was, he can sure put on a good Christmas dinner.
Part of the gang at our guest house for dinner. There were seven us in total but Bakhtim and his friend. (Bakthim is there next to me). It was such a lovel meal with a mini Christmas tree and a large one near the table. There were also lights and tinsel. So great!
