... my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

zanzibar
I stayed on zanzibar during ramadan a few years ago for 3 weeks.I think they should shut down tourism on the island for that month. if you pay all that money to get there and you have to eat behind screens that obscure the view during the day its not great. We headed to the north of the island for the weeks that ran up to christmas, all but the bare essentials of the restaurants/bars were closed during the day, but oh how quickly they opened up as christmas high season kicked in.(still during ramadan). Italian women from an expensive resort on the east of the island were walking through stone town in g-strings during ramadan oblivious to the dirty looks they recieved. Eco torism would be lovely, there is an island close to zanzibar with an eco lodge, but your budget will be terminally damaged.
