Well it is wednesday evening and we just got back to Dar es Salaam from Zanzibar. We had a great few days! We took the farry over at 7:00am on Monday and hung around in stone town. it was a pretty emotional day, as that is where the slave trade took place. It was a rough day because i was so tired - i feel like all of my emotions were to the extreme. oh well, im glad we had a chance to experience that!
the next day we did a spice tour and then tried a bunch of fresh fruit!! ahhhh it was soooo amazing! i will never try such fresh fruit again i dont think! we watched a guy climb a coconut tree, cut some down, and we drank the juice right from it! such a cool experience. and now my new favourite thing is fresh lemon grass tea, with a drop of pure vanilla. its so good!
after the tour we headed to our hotel for the night. it was beautiful! i think it was the most beautiful secret i've ever seen. there was nothing else around except this small resort and most of the people working there were massi people... dressed in traditional dress. very cool. last night we were dancing with them. they spoke about the same amount of english as we did swahili. it was fun though! this morning we got up and went right to the beautiful beach! i ended up getting SOO burnt! but it was totally worth it. i didnt have much color to me before today - this will turn to a tan soon i think... for now im just keeping the ibuprofin in me and aloe close by!
we came back to Dar es Salaam this afternoon via plane. what an experience! i've gotta run for dinner now - just have 30 second left of computer time!
we leave here on the 21st, and ill be home from switzerland on the 25th!
see you all soon :)
