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.

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