Back to the truck.

We've just spent 4 days on Zanzibar, soaking up the beautiful turquoise waters and, occasionally, the scorching sun. We're now back in Stonetown where we spent the day yesterday getting lost in the labryinthine streets. The history of this island is quite interesting, and the buildings are a photographer's mecca.

We catch a ferry back to Dar Es Salaam in an hour (after lunch at Freddy Mercury's restaurant- apparently he was from here...) and tomorrow we continue in the truck south to Malawi.

A few noteworthy things:

1. Our guide, Gareth, has a sand worm living in his toe. We have named him Tony.
2. One couple out of 7 has lost a tent pole. There's no prize for guessing who that couple is.
3. There is a girl on this tour (Malin) who is more organized and anal retentive than Kristin. I didn't think it was possible!
4. They say Hakuna Matata here. A lot.

Well, I guess that's it for now as our internet timer is ticking down...

Hakuna Matata, until next time ;)

Ron and Dar (in Sidney) here ... firstly, happy belated birthday to Gord! Kind of reminicent of our house-boating excursion & bday with you guys, only this time you're dining with smelly lions, elephants and wildebeests instead of smelly guys and gals.

Really enjoying the narrative; keep 'em coming. Anxious to read on.

Keep yourselves in the truck and avoid those lion fangs. And Hakuna Matata back atcha!

Hi Kristin, Cam,

Wonderful stories. Thank you for bringing the world to us.
By the way, I suspect the only reason there are police on the roads there is to collect brives.

Take good care,

Carlos
