We set the alarm at 05:30 and actually manage to leave at 06:00. The Ferry is right across the road, but they suggest to arrive at least an hour early. We were, however, almost the first ones there, which was good as no-one bothered us. We showed our ticket to someone at a gate and [...]
Today’s variable breakfast option was pancakes, so we shared that and fried eggs. We decided to go back to Stone Town and not to another beach. We called a taxi driver who stuck to 40 000 TZS, this was still much cheaper than the $35 per person that Miramont wanted. We would have loved to [...]
It rained through the whole night and into the morning. We went for breakfast at 09:00. It's amazing what expectations can to do an experience. As we expected the worst again, two small changes actually made the breakfast quite nice. The green banana was replaced by a piece of avocado and the bread was still [...]
Caro got up first again and made a lovely breakfast. Scramble eggs with tomato, carrot and green pepper on a bun. She also talked to our room neighbours, Petr and Kristýna, from the Czech Republic. Turns out they also want to go to Nungwi today and spoke to the the same Taxi driver. They, however, [...]
Day 83: Wet Stone Town It was raining again when we woke up and then we realised we didn’t think of breakfast on Zanzibar. It was close to 09:00 and we were getting hungry so we made a dash for the Zenji Cafe, where we stopped yesterday. For breakfast we ordered fish soup and [...]
We set the alarm for 07:00, but the bed was too nice to get up so early. We snoozed a bit and then slowly packed up. We went for breakfast which was included in the cottage price. The breakfast was the biggest and best we had so far. We got tea and juice, a [...]
We woke up at 07:00 and snoozed a bit before packing in. We put everything in the car at 08:00 and then went for breakfast which has been waiting for us for an hour, since we were the only guests. Instead of the ‘usual’ sweet potato or cassava there was cold potatoes (our fault), one [...]
We set our alarm for 06:00 and actually got up. The earliest yet. We managed to leave by 06:40 even though we still made popcorn and hot water in a flask for the road. The tent was unfortunately still wet, but we wanted an early game drive. On the main tar road through the [...]
We got up lazily and let the tent dry a bit. We eventually only left at 10:40. We set the GPS to Magombero Village and got there via some very small roads that was only used by bicycles and motorbikes. The gps took us directly into someone’s yard. Caro got out to ask where the [...]
Since this was the most expensive hotel we stayed in so far, we expected the breakfast to also be the best and it didn’t fail to deliver. Beside the usual offerings they also had delicious Samosas (called Sambusa in Tanzania) and the eggs was served as a omelette. There was also a fruit platter with [...]
