8 July 06.. end of safari... on to Zanzibar!



Well, one night at Tarangire was enough. Guess we got too spoiled at Plantation lodge and Migration Camp. Still have to be thankful for the ensuite loo though.
Today, we travel back to Arusha. To the airport where we catch a dodgy plane....to Zanzibar.
Will be nice to sit and relax on the beach aside the Indian Ocean. It is still hot, but muggy as heck and the rain comes in ... dumps.. and then goes away. Mum and I even swam i the pool at Breezes whilst it was raining.
We arrived on the Island. Were greeted by Island Express and transfered to Breezes on the southeast side of the island (so no island sunsets.) We definately felt like luxury prisoners as to enter the resort you went through a guard gate and drove on up to the reception area.
When we got in, there was this a-hole greeting his mates who apparently used to work there. He was doing his best to sucker free meals out of the management. We quickly buggered away from his weirdness and were taken to our bungalow. Wonderful lil room.... great verandah out front.
The first order of business was to don the swimming costumes and go for a swim in the pool. I then dashed down and signed Mum and I up for snorkeling the next AM.
We had supper at the restaurant.. which goes along with the cost of the stay. Before dinner I imbided in the Kenya cocktail "Dawa" which is their version of a Mojito. Vodka, honey, crushed ice and lime. Mmmmmm Verra verra good. Its all I needed for the nite! We supped well, I had fillet of steak and veggies. Mum had Barracuda. We had "afters" of flambe' fruit. Mmmmm.
Do we have to mention that we slept well that night under our mosquito nets?
