So most of the game drives are finished now until we get down to the Okavanga Delta towards the end of the trip. Looking back on it, I should have gone with the longer tour b/c the first 10 days have flown by...Most of the people on my truck are taking all the way down to Cape Town, but I get off at Livingstone/Victoria Falls and jump on another truck down to Jburg...will be interesting having to meet a new set of people. 24 poeple on the truck and its been an enjoyable experience. Every campsite has a campsite bar with $2 beers...so much better than the struggles in the Middle East. Everyone is really cool and I've settled into setting up and taking down a tent daily and long days on the truck...
Anyways, we made our way through some tough traffic down to Dar es Salaam, jump off point for Zanzibar...beautiful beaches with white sand. On our first day in Zanzibar we did a spice tour where we went to the fields to see how spices were grown...ranging from cinnamon to stuff i've never seen/heard about. Made a stop at the slave auction site which was crazy and toured the dungeon where slaves were held until the auction times...not sure how poeple were able to survive in those conditions. The next 2 days in Zanzibar were spent on North Beach and had free days to relax and enjoy the sun. Plenty of beach volleyball, a beach massage, a couple of sunsets and some big nights and our relaxation time was over...back to the regular routine of tents up and down everyday.
