Sat 27 th – Blue Safari

After a hard day’s work, we decided to have our first leisure day, and headed for the Blue Safari Tour. It was a day long snorkeling trip, with unfortunately more travelling than snorkeling, and one too many Italian tourists. Although there was a lot to see, the reef and fishes were lacking the ‘rainbow colours’ that we were hoping to see. However, the lunch more than made up for the snorkeling. We were served lobster, shrimp and octopus, which tasted exactly like bacon! Boat trip back to Zanzibar was a challenge, because in a mean while had risen strong wind that almost ripped our overcrowded boat into pieces. Fortunately we passed a mangrove swamp on our way back where we found a windless place to heal the sails and to continue crossing the bay more smoothly. After arriving back to the shore, everybody felt a bit sunburned.
