simply loved to be here for the festival at the end of Ramadan and
so I did not have any problem, being here again for the same event. Everywhere
happy people, everywhere interesting food, everybody in new clothes. The men
were while clothes, the women all sorts of colors, the small girls look out
like princesses in their beautiful dresses. Everywhere glitters and sparkles. All
women from the baby girl up had make up.
Pemba, the neighboring
island, is extremely difficult to reach. Earlier, there was every day a
speedboat, currently there are only night ferries, which need anything in
between 8 and 12 hours. Also, once in a while they like to drown.... There are
speedboats only once per week - on Wednesdays. And now, with the party going
on, nobody wants to work for sure, so, even the normal ferry was cancelled
twice... Well, in this case, you always have to leave something for a next
time...
Well, for sure, there are all these nice beaches here. But Zanzibar has some interesting animals as wel - there are the red Colobus monkeys. They are living only in Zanzibar. Actually, it is astonishing, that they still exist. They are so sleepy, that it would be very easy just to pluck them from a tree...
