Zanzibar!

I LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!!!!! It is soo beautiful, and the people are soo nice! On monday we took a fairy to Stonetown from Dar es Saalam. Once we got to Stonetown, we had lunch in Freddy Mercury's restaurant, and then checked into our hotel. Our room was called the "Treasure Chamber" hahaha. Christian's plane broke, so he was late getting in, but eventually he made to the treasure chamber safely. The hotel guys made him a bed because they did not believe all 3 of us would fit in one bed. On Tuesday, we explored stone town, and we saw a couple museums, and the old slave trade site. It was like the pit where they chained the slaves up, it was pretty sad. Today we went on a spice tour. Zanzibar is known for its spices, especially cloves. We saw cinnamon trees, lemon grass, cloves trees, cocoa bean trees, vanilla plants, and a bunch of other plants. Then we went to see slave caves, where they were kept after slavery was made illegal. The sultan hid over 200 slaves from the British in this gross cave filled with bats, GIANT spiders, and pythons. Then we took a daladala to Nengwi, a little resort town on the north coast. Daladalas are so much fun. They are way better than matatus. Its like a pick up truck with seats in the back and a little roof. Tanzania is like a weird version of Kenya. Its like Shelbyville and Springfield. Examples: in Kenya hello is jambo, and in tanzania its mambo, and in Kenya we take matatus, and here its daladalas, and tanzania has all the same souvenirs as kenya (like exact same things) but they say tanzania lol. Christian and Linn are both sick. Christian probably has malaria... Linn, I think, is just homesick. I'm the last one standing! Tomorrow christian and I are going snorkelling, Linn is sitting that one out. And then we are getting massages and maybe going for a sunset Dhow boat ride.
