Day 26 - TUE - 9/10/12 - Dar es Salaam, Tanzania : Nungwi, Zanzibar
Early start for the 7:30am ferry so we were picked up by the tuk tuks at 5:15am. We zoomed to the first ferry - a small local car and pedestrian ferry to take us across town to the Azura Ferry Terminal. We boarded the very modern fast ferry an hour before departure and locked our luggage into the foreigners cages, to ensure their safety and we took our seats on the front deck of the ferry. On the 2 and a quarter hour trip out to Zanzibar we passed all manner of water craft including very small wooden dinghy type boats crowded with people - luckily it was calm!
The water between Zanzibar and Tanzania reminded me of Morton Bay in Queensland, Australia. The fast ferry was US$30. After arriving and clearing immigration we drove for 1.5hrs and checked into our first hotel to stay for 2 nights - the Nunguri Inn, which was right on the beach! :)
After check in, Kearnsy and I went shopping for lunch with our Zanzibar Kwacha's and we bought some pineapple, mangos and fresh bread. We decided to have date night and Kearnsy treated us to a delicious seafood platter and some fantastic crisp french white wine to accompany the meal - yummmmm!!!
