End of Zanzication


Unfortunately we could only spend a few days in Bwejuu before hopping on a daladala and heading back to Stone Town. That afternoon we went snorkeling off a reef near Stone Town.

It was kinda cloudy out.

I was mildly freaking out, even though there aren’t supposed to be sharks around Zanzibar. The reef was not very deep and there were all kinds of different corals and creatures. My favorite were the spiny sea urchins. These are dangerous if stepped on but they are beautiful to look at. They are midnight black with spines that are about a foot long. If you look at them closely you can see them undulating and moving.

All the time we were snorkeling there was a little, tiny clownfish that swam in circles around Nick. Sometimes it would hang out in front of his chest, other times it would swim circles around one of his arms. He tried to shoo it away as it liked to hang about in front of his mask. (He saw also having trouble with the seal on his mask, so a small fish lurking about it was not helping). I took to swimming circles around Nick in order to find the little fish.


Snorkel!



I was super upset that I didn't have my underwater camera for this particular adventure. 

After snorkeling we grabbed some ice cream and sat around chatting and people watching. Later, we grabbed dinner at Forodhani Gardens.

Cane Juice
hahaha I promised I wouldn't put this on facebook.....

The next morning we had to head back to the airport to make our flight back to Arusha.
