Buying snow Bagamoyo

Happy everyone and welcome back to the roaring 20s! The plan for the day is to drive to Marangu which is very near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. The drive takes a few hours and we arrive at Marangu Hotel mid afternoon. For the first time in a while, we have down time during the day and we spend it doing a whole lot of nothing. Nothing much else happens other than that in the early evening we walk back to the bar to see Mount Kilimanjaro as the clouds clear. The weather is perfect all day and for the first time in a while we manage to do washing and have it dry within just a few hours as opposed to it taking a couple of days because of rains or late arrivals at campsites leaving insufficient dry times. Mid-morning we walk over to the bar area to see Mount Kilimanjaro again and the views are even better than the night before. We then spend most of the day in the bar or beautiful grounds writing this blog we got VERY behind for a while there and chatting to others from the group. Those were all relative lie-ins. Today we get up at 3. We leave the campsite at 5am, stop at pm for a local buffet lunch of rice, beans, greens and a few other things, and arrive at Firefly Bagamoyo campsite just before 4pm. We start out in mountainous terrain Kilimanjaro and all , and it changes into beautiful green landscape populated first with banana trees and later palm trees with green coconuts ripening high above our heads as we pass. One of the things we both love about Africa, and Tanzania in particular, is how friendly the local children and adults are and how delighted they are to see us as we pass in our big yellow truck. Every town and village we pass, children shout to get our attention and wave enthusiastically at us with big grins. Some run down to the road to get closer to us as we drive past, others stay a little further back with other children or groups of typically women, but the delight at seeing us is almost universal. Today is no exception, and dozens upon dozens of children plus many men and women wave happily at us over the course of the day. It never fails to make us smile. The campsite is just off the beach, but when we head down the tide is very low and far out and there is a strong odour of rotten fish so we decide against a dip in the ocean. We have a Cuba Libre by the pool and do a little life admin i. The heat and humidity continues overnight and nobody sleeps well. Many in our group go without their rain covers and leave the tent windows and doors rolled up to let what little breeze there is ventilate their tents. We, however, go the rain-averse route and keep our tent watertight, which is a terrible decision in hindsight. We therefore spend the night in an airless humid sauna of a tent and wake poorly rested. Steve and Nash have allowed 3hrs for the drive in advance of our ferry at am, but we make good time and encounter much less traffic than anticipated so arrive at the port at am. Muzungu price hikes! Emily challenges and successfully pays the same as the local. The ferry is lovely and our economy seats are in an air conditioned cabin where they show the CGI version of The Jungle Book. Sara and I however sleep through the entire journey. The travel sickness pills we took in anticipation of a choppy ride turn out to be strong! Nash introduces us to Isaac, our local Zanzibar guide, who then walks way too fast through a burrow of alleys to our bus, failing entirely to take any account of the pace of his group. Sara and I both miss all of this however due to the very strong travel sickness pills I mentioned earlier putting us both back to sleep as soon as the vehicle starts moving. We arrive groggily at Sunset Bungalows in Kendwa and are allocated to our rooms. Sara and I and presumably this is true of all rooms have a lovely spacious room with air conditioning, a fridge, en suite, tables and chairs, and a private balcony overlooking what might generously be described as garden and might otherwise be described as the side of a building and a path with a few plants. No tents, no camping, no sweltering heat, and no early wake ups! We head down to the beach and oh my goodness this place! I heard before coming that Zanzibar is one of the places travel companies use in their photos of paradise islands to entice punters to buy their holidays and I can absolutely see why. We do a little paddling in the Indian Ocean and find that the water is wonderfully warm, and we order some cocktails from the beach bar attached to our hotel, which are wonderfully cool. The service is abysmal and it takes over an hour for the food and one beer to arrive. Sushi, for crying out loud! And they bring us the wrong tempura - mixed instead of vegetable - and eventually agree not to charge us for it. We wander back along the beach in the half light, silhouettes of palm trees set against the darkening sky, the sound of gently lapping waves, and warm sand between our toes. The TL;DR of today is sat on the beach, read our books, swam in the ocean, and drank cocktails. The fractionally longer version involves a breakfast of omlettes made fresh in front of us, tropical fruits, and mango and watermelon juice followed by a morning of sunbaking, swimming and reading on the beach. Around lunchtime, we buy some sarongs and loose beach shirt type things from a vendor who walks past, which we immediately proudly wear. Most of our group have gone out on a sundowner booze cruise and we enjoy the relative peace and quiet with fewer people around. We make a quick escape after dinner to avoid the tipsy people and associated dramas and spend a little time reading in our wonderfully cool room before bed. A long table has been set up, and the sun sets shortly after we arrive. Sara and I order the King Seafood Platter between us as it has lobster, tiger prawns, calamari, octopus, kingfish, and some other bits and bobs. We reluctantly hand our keys back to reception and pack our bags back into the vehicles before heading off. Having not taken any travel pills today, we see more of the island on this trip on our way south again. We stop around 45mins later for a spice tour on one of the farms. Our guide tells us we can call him Mr Spice and that the farm is community owned. He then takes us around to show us where various fruits and spices come from and how local people use them in their diet and for medicinal purposes. Locals apparently use these to brush their teeth ;. There are also soaps and medicinal ointments, including one from the cinnamon roots to help with colds and coughs. Trust me when I say Nom! The house is surprisingly spacious and modern with a flat screen tv and various sofas in the living room. The meal is simple but really delicious. After lunch we head to Stone Town and check into our hotel, Safari Lodge. Instead we relax in our room for a bit and then decide that ice cream is an excellent idea so take a wander into town in search of gelato. We walk along the seafront enjoying the sunshine and bustle and get some cool, tasty ice cream and soda at Mama Mia. Just around the corner is Freddie Mercury House, which as the name suggests is where Freddie Mercury lived in Zanzibar. We drop our new purchases at the hotel and head out to meet the group for some sundowner drinks at Mercury Bar before dinner at the night market nearby. After scouting out every stall, we settle on trying some shwarma and a Zanzibar pizza. Neither of us as has a huge appetite tonight so we have one final wander around a few of the stalls before going back to the hotel for an early night.
