Zanzibar

I've been trying to get this post up for ages. I really wanted to upload the pics with it but our internet has been too slow. So here's the post (if i can, i'll put the pics up latter).


We're back from an extremely relaxing time in Zanzibar. It was so good for us to just get away and just be alone as a family.

Here are a few pics to show you a few of my favorite aspects of the trip

1. Absolutely gorgeous sunsets over the Indian Ocean (a rare privilege for us in East Africa) with dhows and canoes drifting by adding to the picturesque moment

2. The ancient architecture and ornate doors that give Stonetown such a mystical feel

3. Playing pool and beach volleyball together

4. Swimming out to the dhows to jump off them

5. Going spear fishing for the first time and catching a total of fifteen (small) fish between four of us.

6. Stunning aqua marine (warm) water and fishing nets and canoes that decorate the bleached white sand

7. Family

8. Oh yeah, and this tortoise we found on the drive back (who looks pretty stylish in shades)
