Zanzibar Break


We just returned from a two week trip to Zanzibar taken during the end-of -term school holidays. All of the volunteers involved in improving English in the secondary schools of Tanzania met for a couple of days in Zanzibar Town and then Debra and I headed to the beach for some sun and sand.

We rented a really cool beach hut, made from palm fronds, on Kendwa Beach on the northern tip of Zanzibar Island. It had a bathroom and hot shower and was right on the sand. Such luxury for a couple of scruffy volunteers.

The seven days were spent reading, lounging around, walking on the beach and swimming in the beautiful turquoise water. The sand, formed from coral, was snow white with the consistency of sugar and the water was warm.

As Frank Sinatra would say, 'it's nice to go travellin' but it's so, so nice to come home.'
