Places with cool names... Zanzibar (Pt 3 of 3
There's a limit to how much lazing around a a beach you can do. Though to be honest, we'd actually been quite action packed snorkeling for hours every day. But anyway, it was time to head back to stonetown before flying back to Nairobi.
So what did we do?
We went snorkeling again! There's few dive centres in town, and you can tag along with a dive, but just snorkel for next to nothing. So we jumped on one of the dhows (local Arabian style boats) and headed out to some of the reefs - absolutely beautiful!!
We spent all day out on the boat and had a mix of local fruit for lunch. Whilst chatting to the boat captain we learned that they had a deal with a restaurant up the coast where you could take a sunset cruise up to the restaurant for dinner.
so we did...
After going back to the hotel to get changed, we were back on the dhow with an esky full of cold ones sailing through Zanzibar harbour. You get a great view of the old trading town from the sea
then an hour or so later, we pulled up at the beach, jumped into the shallows and walked to our table on the sand
... pretty freekin awesome - a great way to finish a very lazy holiday
