Zanzabar!

Wireless, Yay! Can't wait to talk with Bill tonight, Tonight is morning there.



I had never heard of Zanzibar until we decided to come on this trip. Mary and Peter made it a part of our itenerary, because the more people, the cheaper the rates for more of an experience, and what an experience it has been, starting with the 10 hour Tanzanian bus trip on Wednesday, which means completely non-American, non-American bathroom facilities, but as nice as it can be for Tanzania. Mary personally experienced the cheapest a few years ago to Zanzibar and it was terrifying, It started early in the morning, around 7, paved roads which was very good, from Moshi and we arrived in Dar Salome around 3:30. Dar Sa Lome (sp?) is the capital of Tanzania. Very, very large city. I was surprised to see a more cars, more businessmen. A taxi was waiting for us because our bus was late (we were on a schedule for Zanzabar), to get us to the ferry. Much, much stopped traffic, there was a stop light or so. We were scheduled and had tickets for the ferry at 4:30, the last one for the night, and could not miss it. The last 10 minutes, we ran from the taxi to the ferry just before the gate closed. The Lord was definitely with us. Mary and Peter came the next day, Thursday. After the ferry ride, which was nice because of the wind and the ocean blowing and a change of scenery from the 10 hour bus ride, we arrived in Stonetown. Our guide met us off the boat, Halelujah! I need to post the rest of the adventure later, don't know if I can charge my battery and need to save for Skype. Much love, Cheryl
