The Road To Zanzibar

When I was a kid, one of my favorite movies was "The Road to Zanzibar", an old Bob Hope/Bing Crosby flick. Finally I'm here. There actually isn't a road all the way to Zanzibar because it's an Island, but there is a 2 hour ferry that will get you there from Dar es Salaam. Of course you can't actually get there in just 2 hours, there's another ferry that you need to take to get to the ferry, and a long taxi ride to get to the North end of the island where we are staying. Leaving the camp at 0700 gets you to the hotel by 1500. Zanzibar is a large, low island and is very green. Though it is part of Tanzania, it pretends to be a separate country with it's own immigration, customs and even it's own President. Pretty much all setup in case the ferry ever stops running. Tomorrow, I'm going to start editing some wildlife footage from earlier in the trip.
