back in civilization narrow, winding streets in the shadow of closely juxtaposed, venerable old buildings made of coral stone u limestone balconies, from ebony, beautiful beautiful waters carved wooden doors, magnificent palaces u kirchtueme, traditional sailing vessels in the prior ... the old town feel here in Stone Town just like in 1001 night! (when many of the white-skinned apart! many so-touristy we have in the past 4 weeks, not a whole!) more precisely, we are on the island of Zanzibar, the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa u feel a fiddle!
the last few days were of course very exciting again: even faehrenfahrt it had in the first, we were full of enthusiasm of our places in the vip (!!)- class!! 4 Sessle table with us for 2 more legroom than in the aviation, television, air conditioning u-flight service - well, there are certain offenses the next 6 hours as in a flash. make ourselves comfortable, take precaution, our anti-motion sickness medication-an (ultimately would be a pity if we would have to bring them back home with you!) u waiting eagerly awaiting the departure! 10 minutes later iris was already 3 times a loo, did not know that the waves can also stimulate darmtaetigkeit ...;-)) away onto the quiet little place by the violent up-and-from even more difficult - helps nothing, there must be an immodium (for non-medical: extremely powerful medium stops diarrhea, bowel movement!) here! We try to focus on the TV screen calls (and the associated head contact) are impossible, it's getting worse, magentaetigkeit was unfortunately not stopped previously been informed speibsackerl be used - a fun ride over! when we finally arrive in Pemba, we fix u ready! be but by the people extremely hospitable included, even the bus ride to Wete (the place where we will stay the next day) is beautiful: you look out the left, you see one gruen.schaut out to the right, green shows. and what one sees when one looks out the back? ! Green! ;-)) Palm forests, banana plantations in all sizes, clove, vanilla, mango-u papayabaeume (and many others that we do not know !!)!!
made u tired of the long journey we arrive at the only hostel in at Wete and are excited: the rooms, the sanitary facilities of u especially the owners mr.sharook (one aged 65 teeth bands with only a few, the touchingly cares for us) - only the current lack (And since 1 week!) - So wonderful, once again good timing! ;-)) But if traveling angels, will also have the power ...;-)).. he comes again in the evening! for the next day we plan a moped tour of the northern tip of Pemba, where the most beautiful beach of the mainland will reside. fruemorgens start we want, but the search for someone in the village, the us 2 expensive maedels his companions (the main means of transport are bicycles!) lends takes of course longer than gedacht.kurz before noon we set off at last, can the lonely beach, the wet u relax the days after the last busy no longer erwarten.anscheinend it should take an hour, we need 2 1 / 2!! output 3 u 4 is not used because it is more potholes with road as a road with potholes, or 30 cm are sand tracks deep - it was a fun ... until we (! village of course just in a many there is not!) fell down, are we laughed all the ! not bootable moped was and we were short in front of despair but thanks to the help of some locals we bring it back up and running u happy especially as we see a few more minutes after the flood: a beautiful turquoise with white Fine, sandy beach, old fischerholzbote in the bay ... and we wonder ... but unfortunately not alone! our expectations, here are a relaxing afternoon to spend, unfortunately enttaeuscht.sind surrounded in null komma nix-100s of young men who are stare, chat up, before we pose to shoot a picture with us and then stare -! in this moment we are all too much and then also in front of us in to begin to build soccer field, we flee a few meters further, there ogled also ( the lotion, attach the water go, in turn, with some cream, when, at some cream) - it was just incredible, with the time we get used to it but u can a few afternoon hours yet still enjoy. make us earlier than expected on the way home to make it so before sunset to provide for Wete. decide this time for a route other, but longer, since there the road will be better. sizzle right off (4th gear!), the time passes, the sun is getting weaker and we are still far away from Wete, well, actually, we do not know where we are actually asking us u feet using hands, must eventually escape back to a gravel-sand road and time passes slowly but surely!! we would be all right, to reach the hostel. can the beautiful surroundings in the sunset, enjoy no mood correctly, the internal stress forces us only road to the hopefully-soon-ending konzentrieren.gerade to be dark before we fall to the dirty, sweaty, hungry, and even expected (na has since ansch. anyone still worried about us!) in a hostel! we have almost ceased to believe it. mr.sharook us with a wonderful catered dinner - are extremely ready, just drop into bed!
for even the next day we have big plans are chak-chak (another city), a fish market u an inhabited island on the program. the unbearable heat forces us to chak-chak back in to cool hostel, where we sleep the afternoon just resting u (ansch. is sometimes necessary!!).
with renewed energy the next day we make a snorkel trip to Iceland Misali, an hour's boat ride brings us to this beautiful island only 2 km2. Snorkeling is not even necessary, could spend all day just looking for shells with u take pictures ... the time flies because we have to leave again this conservation area, was good to relax for the first time really!
new day, new lucky: (!) have to now for our final stage once again on the ferry (iris is bad even if they only think about it in the morning). do the first people to be forthcoming in the serpent-break, right after breakfast, happy that we found in the port of a man's shady Sombrero, u wait, once again surrounded by native annoying u veiled women. 2 hours later (the ferry was soon on and thus leave again), we get ready - back for the 20kg, 10 kg hand luggage front - into the first row of kommen.haben directly to the entry point us vorgestellt.warten course too easy in the searing noon heat, together with 500 (or was it 1000 -?! no ahung simply unbelievable number) other passengers on the abfahrt.huehner feet in baskets tied together, banana reissaecke, everything is taken away, children sitting on the floor u cry babies whining, each jostling, screaming curses, - we are squeezed from all sides, falling over would not be possible , are stuck breathing is heavy, the sweat runs down and the worst: the ferry, although there (! na after all), but first have to have all passengers from the ship down before new "loaded" are all kann.nach 2 hours (! happen to us as 5) Will we finally get to boot - of course u fix completed, which also benefits its has: in combination with medication for motion sickness, we sleep 20 minutes later u get from did not swell much with ...
now we enjoy a few days here in Stone Town (scroll to describe your top! ;-)) Before we spend the remaining 2 weeks on the beach to soak up the color u sun, so we are prepared for the bitter cold at home
- sending you in that sense, warm, sunny greetings
u kisses, Nina & Iris
