Jambiani

Tuesday, July 2nd

We took another Dala Dala from Stone Town to Jambiani. When we arrived in town we immediately noticed the beautiful beaches. The water is so many shades of blue and turquoise. Our bungalow is right on the beach which is incredible! 

It amazes me how cheap these places are. Right on the beach and breakfast included for both of us for only $30 a night. 

We did have to kill a few bugs, however, before being comfortable. 

We also had a friendly roommate:

Breakfast has also continued to improve since the first one in Dar I wrote about!

On the first day we walked the beach and explored. We walked all the way to the next village,Paje. We found out later that from our hotel it is 5 kilometers away. There and back was quite the walk! We met many people on the walk that were very friendly. They kept saying 'welcome home'. It is a very quiet and peaceful place. We love it here!

For dinner I ordered a fish curry, which is usually a safe choice with pieces of fish in sauce. Here, it was an entire fish. Head and all. I couldn't do it so jake cut the meat off for me. Since then, I have been asking if the fish comes with or without the head. 

On Wednesday, we spent the day laying on the beach which we basically had to ourselves. In the evening we enjoyed some wine and chocolate chipatti at a cute place on the beach. We had dinner with a couple from Germany that we met on the daladala. It was a great day until dinner, where Jake got food poisoning. He was sick all day Thursday as well. 

Thursday evening we walked the beach, and the tide was so low we could walk out a few hundred meters on a sand bar. It was crazy. 

Jake is feeling better, so back to Nungwi tomorrow!
