Apollo Bay Update # 3

A final update from the Apollo Bay team

Hi all,
We are on our final day in Zanzibar and then heading back to Dar es Salaam for our final night.  Everyone has had a great time but looking forward to coming home for Christmas.  On our first night in Zanzibar we were fortunate enough to get a free speed boat ride to help advertise for the new company's business here.  Two of the teachers went on a Dhow (traditional sailing boat) to take photos of the group.  Three nights in a row we ate at the seafood market along the waterfront.  They have the best pizzas in the world!  And some great seafood and vegetables as well.  It was a good place to mingle with the locals.

Other activities we have done while here included a boat trip to Prison Island with some of the group fishing along the way and the rest of us enjoying a well deserved swim and lay on the beach.  Our snorkelling trip was a little adventurous with the boat taking on water and us needing to return to the island very quickly.  But we did have a good time and saw lots of fish and corals while out there.  A few people chose to go on a spice tour yesterday while the rest of us shopped to our hearts content and yes we spent ALL our money. 

The girls went inside the old fort 2 days ago and met some ladies who did Henna designs and braided our hair.  We all enjoyed the time just sitting and being pampered.

We'll be back soon and looking forward to our welcoming committee at the airport.
