We are in Stone town for the last night and looking forward to a little HBO tonight. Yes, I love my babysitter and her name is Cable. We are staying at the Warere Town House - does it sound luxurious - well it may be by budget African standards. Our room has a mini fridge and 17 inch TV set that plays all your favorite Bollywood channels and Tanzanian tella novellas for $35 a night. To put some icing on it we are going shopping for cereal and milk for dinner. Might not sound like a big deal but the local greasy food for each meal really starts to wear on the system. So that's our night!!!
Natty made a new friend on the morning Dalla Dalla from Kendwa. A young 18 year old talked her up as he has been studying English for the past 6 months. I must say the people who are not trying to follow you around and sell you things are really friendly. For the most part everyone we have talked to has been very affable. Don't let my negative descriptions of the local ticks give the wrong impression.
We are taking the fast ferry to Dar in the AM and then flying out to Istanbul on the 31st. Good bye and good night from Zanzibar!!!

I didn't do my job then, our favorite food of 12 weeks of traveling was in stone town... i am sorry!! well istanbul does pretty good food wise too, let me know if you want any recommendations, not that you will even be hungry for dinner filling up on bakalava all of the time! (oooh you are going to a turkish bath to be scrubbed down by a nearly naked old turkish woman aren't you??)
