Return to Camp


Back in Tanga again for this blog post.

I had a wonderful rest of my holiday in Zanzibar. The rest of my time in Stone town included a tour of a community spice farm, a visit to the old slave market and a wander around the back streets to some local stalls. Quite a few people have bought Zanzibar and Tanzania football jerseys. After Stone Town we made a quick trip to the south of the island and swam with Dolphins! It was mega cool! Our last two days were spent at a beach hotel enjoying the sun and sea.

After returning to Camp we met the newest addition to our camp, Vicki. She's from England too so another ally against the Aussies! Work has been hard and demanding this week. We've all got lazy in Zanzibar and had a shock getting back to the hole.

Friday was a pleasant change. All people who are staying for 1 or 2 months got to spend a day with the mamas of the village and learn to cook! We learned to make Chipattis and Vichettis. Everyone had a cracking time.

Some people are heading home on Monday so this weekend is our farewell to them. Should be pretty top!

See you all next week.
