After an interesting, but generally God-arranged train trip (it was delayed just the right amount of time for us to arrive at 6 in the morning, the day after we were due - which meant that we didn't need to pay for a night's accommodation in Dar es Salaam), we took a ferry to Stone Town, Zanzibar. It is probably the most intriguing place we've been so far, with the wierdest history: it has been run by the Swahili, Omani, Portuguese and English, and has architecture to match.
We've eaten delicious seafood and Zanzibar "pizza" (nothing like a pizza, but tasty), got lost in the maize of streets, and visited museums and other interesting places. We've hired a little 4x4 for the next few days, so we are going to squeeze in and explore the island!
