Zanzibar to us came across as a very peaceful and laid back country where Muslims and Christians live side by side with respect for each other.
It definitely has that East African feel, where everyone takes life “poli poli” (slowly, slowly) but put them on a motorbike or behind the wheel of a car and they turn into possessed Formula 1 drivers!! Ha-ha but seriously frightening!!
The hustle and bustle of Stown Town will always stay with us as the walk ways were so narrow and it felt people were walking in all different directions, even carts, bikes and mopeds trying to squeeze through, with none of them stopping unless completely necessary. Some people would even gently push people out of their way; with no reactions in the slightest by those being pushed! Put these Zanzibians in Brixton market and there would be an all out riot!
Apart from Stone Town, we just relaxed on the beach and by the pool for the whole week reading our guide books, which are soon becoming our lifelines…!
Next stop Dar Es Salaam.....
