Sansibar Teil I
The Christmas holiday is a little while ago already, and yet I wanted you, of course, the beauty of Zanzibar divulged.
morning it went after a very rushed tour in Dala Dala and an interesting conversation with a pastor ("You have with you in Europe only that snow chaos because their sins so much") with a fast ferry in 2 hours to Zanzibar.
With stunning views of the Old City of the skin, a barrier island, and of course the turquoise sea greeted us the island.
Upon arrival, we went with two small buses of our host father Said to his house just outside the city center. He is the father of Christopher Guest and had agreed with his family's house for the time where we had to leave Zanzibar. He also gave us better prices in the tourist activities and a private minibus with which we were wonderfully flexible.
evening, it was then also first to Stone Town, the old part of Zanzibar Town, for dinner.
We were not in a restaurant but on the Forodhanimarkt, a night market with lots of stalls selling delicious freshly prepared food and drinking. I opted for different creations of the Zanzibar Pizza, a very tasty stuffed pastry.
Back home we forgot then, unfortunately in our car the gear must be engaged in the absence of a handbrake. The result we saw the next morning when the car was rolled overnight into the wall of the neighbors and had them destroyed. The Bulli but nothing had happened.
As the neighbor was just as nice but as our host father was all a big problem.
morning we went again to Stone Town, this time to visit and drink coffee at the Coffee House. City leaders were our two Stone Town Volunteer Maresa and Maike.
afternoon we ventured dann mit dem Bulli auf die erste längere Fahrt nach Kendwa Rocks, einem Strand am nördlichen Ende von Sansibar. Wirklich ein Traumstrand! Türkisfarbenes Meer, weißer, wirklich weißer Sand, Palmen, kleine schattige Rundhütten...
Nur dass nahezu alle Besucher weiß waren und alle Mädchen Bikini trugen war wirklich ungewohnt. Schon in der Stadt fiel mir auf, dass unheimlich viele Weiße Touristen unterwegs waren, die teilweise wirklich mittlerweile in meinen Augen unheimlich gewagte Kleidung trugen. Teilweise musste man sich da wirklich fremdschämen, ich weiß nicht wie das die Sansibaris Tag ein Tag aus aushalten. Obwohl man sich natürlich daran gewöhnt. But that changed a half a year in Tanzania.
The beach was so beautiful, we were able to recover from the trip and had a lot of fun.
The next day (New Year) it was for us to snorkel in a coral reef. For me it was the first time I really was snorkeling, and it was indescribably beautiful. So many colors, so many fish and other living things, really just beautiful.
afternoon we could then rest a little, then it went again to the Forodhanimarkt for dinner and then back to the Bulli in Kendwa Rocks, the beach the previous day in which us large beach New Year's Eve celebration expected. There was much music, lots of dancing, many people, a small fireworks and of course the wonderful setting of this dream beach. A very special New Year's Eve, even though I felt not so good and I have missed something earlier than the others to sleep in the car and thus the occupation for nine swimming action at dawn.
