After the disappointing anticlimax of our cycle ride (NB Rob said he may never cycle again) we have had two of the windiest days Zanzibar has ever seen.
This has meant even more enforced relaxation (we’re getting very used to it), a fine covering of sand over everything we own but on the plus side the best waves ever!!!!
Up until now the waves have broken about a mile out to sea on the coral. One day we did attempt to walk/snorkel out there but after an hour we still didn’t reach it so came back. With the high winds the waves still broke on the coral but had also built up enough momentum to create a large second wave literally right outside our hotel. Rob and I spent a happy hour in them Tuesday afternoon enjoying the contrast from our veritable millpond until we both got a little shivery and ran to be first in the shower.
We never got to snorkel around Mnemba Island due to high winds but did enjoy a little just off of the coast which showed us some stripey fish, some black fish and some fat ones (we are both clearly fish experts).
We were very sad to leave our lovely little bungalow
And the beautiful beach
Our lovely room
And the great food and drink
in the lovely restaurant.
If we’d have realised what we were moving to we might have never left……
