Bwejuu, Zanzibar Island (East side) I liked the beaches on the East side of Zanzibar. Very quiet beaches...you get the whole beach to yourself. Especially good for a nice stroll in the afternoon around sunset. And the best part, these are quiet fishing villages so you really get to get a taste of local culture instead of getting swarmed by touristy traps in Stone Town. Any local fisherman will take you out to the coral reef from the beach for about $10 for 2 ppl. The reef is ok...its no Great Barrier Reef though. This video will really give you a [View Full Entry]

Greetings from Africa! We made it to Zanzibar and are having an amazing time!!! It is soooo beautiful here! Pictures do not do this place justice. The people, the ocean and the food are perfect. We have made many new friends with locals, French and a kind South African whose computer I am currently using so I do not have much time to write, but I wanted you to know that we are well! We wish you were here. We are staying at an awesome "resort" called Mount Zion. All they play on the stereo is reggae...it is just our pace! [View Full Entry]

There was always a breeze so the insects that have become the bane of my exisitence didn't even have the stamina [View Full Entry]

New Years in Paje and Bwejuu Hop in a dallah dallah and head to the beach again - Paje here we come. Squeezed into the back of a Zanzibari dallah dallah surounded by deisel containers, bags of coconut husk and bananas is THE way to travel. It's cheap and very fast and you get to meet the people of Zanzibar (OK, we were trying to make up for splashing out on taxis to / from Matemwe). En route we discovered that the Seven Seas wasn't in Paje but was actually in Bwejuu, a small village about half an hour's walk up [View Full Entry]
