Day Fourteen\"dhows<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So this morning we have\u00a0thirteen tuk tuks waiting for us as our group and the truck from\u00a0the gorillas now head for the ferry. We are so lucky that it\u2019s a public holiday so the usual hassle is not too bad today. \u00a0Arriving at the main ferry office, again thanks to the holiday, the check-in was quite straight-forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"CC1_4_Zanz_market\"<\/span>We arrive on the island by 11.05am and after a smooth check-in at Safari Lodge we relax, regroup and then it’s off to\u00a0lunch and then a spice tour…this was well\u00a0enjoyed by all.<\/p>\n

The end of the day and all roads lead to 6 Degrees Wine Bar at Shangani for sundowners as we watch the activity\u00a0by the waterside and the dhows sail the harbour. <\/span>The night food market was then, as always, a treat. It’s been a\u00a0fantastic day for all.<\/p>\n

Day Fifteen\"451\"<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone is all over the place this morning with some doing a city tour, others having a wander around on their\u00a0own, and some heading off to the beach early. We all arrive at Kendwa by\u00a01.15pm and enjoy a relaxed\u00a0afternoon. Late in the afternoon a few set sail on a sunset cruise. We end the day dancing\u00a0into the night by the Indian Ocean<\/span><\/p>\n

Day Sixteen\"54_nzanzibar\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today is a very chilled out day for everyone spending the day either swimming, playing volleyball and\u00a0getting their tan on. Some of us meet up for dinner and most of us are off to bed early today as the majority are doing snorkelling the next day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Day Seventeen\"swim<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The snorkelling party head around to Mnemba Atoll for a most fantastic time today and they were all thrilled to see\u00a0dolphins particularly.<\/span><\/p>\n

When all are back we have some birthday celebrations – both Kim and Ann are \"590df6d670d0e86ac5d088ac001cdb36\"\"1f1e415d9b642fe23bbad47c07a6e958\"<\/a>celebrating their\u00a0birthdays. We have cakes, champagne and snacks all round. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a bad way to spend your\u00a0birthday!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are also saying goodbye as it is the last day for many of us in the group. It’s been a fantastic time for\u00a0everyone. All have enjoyed their stay here. Always on the last night everyone wants to\u00a0squeeze\u00a0another day in, but as much as one could stay here on this dreamy island forever, our journey must\u00a0continue\u2026.wherever it takes us. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for reading. Safari njema.<\/p>\n
