Ras Nungwi, Zanzibar

We are approaching the end of our almost four days in a beach resort in Zanzibar. There hasn't been much to report because we have been so busy doing nothing. Nothing that is except eating, sitting on the beach, reading, and playing scrabble and crazy eights. The views are beautiful - we have an ocean view front porch, and the water is brilliant, but the beach is not good for either walking or swimming - too short and full of seaweed and coral and rocks. Hard to beat the Florida beaches for us. The food has been incredible - lots of seafood with an Indian influence, and great fruit deserts (mango carpaccio with lemon sorbet).

Tomorrow we fly back to Nairobi in the evening, and ae heads home while I stay to explore the city and continue the adventures. Here are a couple of pics from the last three days!

Also tried to take a pic of ae's foot - has been badly eaten by bugs, spiders, and ants. Fortunately for you all the light isn't good enough at the moment. It's pretty bad though.

Enough for tonight - we are enjoying an easy listening band while we wait for the drums to summon us to dinner. I'd Rather Be a Hammer Than a Nail seems to be a big hit here.
