Off to Stone Town we go!

Evening All,

Just a quick update on today's events. They went something like this...

Woke up early

Went to the supermarket to get some bits for lunch. We also went to get cash, but most of the cash machines were empty so we had to wait a little bit until they were refilled.

Went to a craft market in Dar Es Salaam. This was really good and students and staff haggled their way to a wide range of purchases! The best bit of haggling goes to Ian Tuer who managed to get someone down from 275,000TSH to 60,000TSH.

Arrived at Dar airport 2 hours before our flight was scheduled to take off... FIVE HOURS, lots of crisps/sweets and several Sudoku later, we get on the 15 minute flight over to Zanzibar. Mr Moss was particularly made up as the plane had propeller engines. Something he had always wanted to go on...whatever floats your boat!

Upon arrival in Zanzibar, we got to the hotel, dumped our stuff, had a quick wash and got changed before heading out for an Indian meal - after all, we are on the Spice Island. We all filled out boots with traditional Indian dishes and some mavericks even took on dessert. The waffles and ice cream looked particularly good!

We then strolled back to the hotel for some shut eye before having a day of shopping tomorrow and a boat trip round the harbor at night! Lots to look forward to in our last few days!

AMAP Nursery School Day One and Dancing!

On Monday we went to AMAP Nursrey School to do some fun activities with the kids. We split into groups and each group was in charge of an activity, the activities were; Singing and Dancing, Games, and Arts and Craft. However this idea didn't go quite to plan as they spoke little English therefore they didn't really understand what they were doing as it was hard for us to try and explain to them, therefore it just resulted in them doing what they wanted and us teaching them which turned out to be a fun day for all.

At the end of the school day we handed out some T-Shirts to all the children and staff, which will now be used as part of their school uniform. After we left the school we headed of for some lunch then we all retreated back to the hotel and went to the beach, except those who had sunburn as they went to bed feeling sorry for themselves e.g. Brad, and Kate. As we only had one more night at Bagamoyo the staff treated us to some entertainment by getting a group of African Traditional Dancers in which was very entertaining for all seeing Mossy (Mr Moss) having the time of his life busting some moves with one of the dancers.
