It was quite a journey to get there to the island.
- 20 minute ride to get to the ferry
- 10 minute ferry ride across the water (which was before the
traffic snarl getting off as it was people and cars)
- 20 minute walk to the Zanzibar ferry office
- 1.5 hours pm the ferry
- Arrive and get stamped by immigration, even though we aren’t
changing countries.
- Have our bags checked by security
- Find our guide outside

Got to the hotel and had a short nap as I wasn’t feeling so
great after the boat.
Had a walk and
found some ice cream to get me through until supper.
Several of us decided to go to the night
market together to see what we could find for some food.

A bed, yay!

The night market had all sorts of food options.
I was expecting it to be more of a market
with food and craft type things but as we are on a small island, this was more
like island fast food.
Many vendors had
the same types of items on their table so you ultimately just picked one and
made your choice.
I had some chicken and
coconut bread.

One of our trip mates bought us sugar cane juice. We were able to watch the vendor squish and
squeeze the juice directly from the cane.
It was quite nice and refreshing but not overly sweet.
We had also heard all bout Zanzibar pizza’s so we had to try
it. I wanted one with pineapple and
chocolate but the booth I was at didn’t have pineapple. Instead, I ordered one with Mars bar, banana
and chocolate. It was very good. :) I
wouldn’t call it a pizza, more like a crepe as they spread some dough out thin
and then put the toppings on it and then put another layer on top.
