African time and a buss without springs


Finally, we have arrived to Hiliki House in Stone town, Zanzibar! It feels good to be here after two and a half months in Nkinga, it is just to bad that our luggage got lost somewhere during the journey! But hopefully it will arrive in just 10 minutes, that is what they told us 30 minutes ago… one can never know when Africans speaks about time. There is a reason why it is called "African time".

The journey here was very long, first we took a cab to Nzega early in the morning (4am), from there we went by bus (4,5 hours) to Mwanza, it was a horrible bus ride! The bus had no no springs so we just kept bumping up and down... 


In Mwanza we took the airplane to Dar Es Salaam where we switched planes. The airplane from Mwanza was late due to “circumstances that were out of their control” and the airplane was to small for all the luggage so some of it got left behind. We wonder if it might had something to do with us bringing 24 kilos more than allowed… hope not!

Here are some pictures from our B&B, which by the way is really good and very cheap.
