Here Comes The Planet 44 – Tanzania 01

The first of our Africa videos! After completing a long to-do list before arriving, we finally get to Tanzania. Our friends Leigh, Nicolette, Lucas and Kat are along for the ride, sharing the African leg of our trip with us. First order of the day is some relaxing on the island of Zanzibar before we start our safari tour. Amanda and Lucas get their hair braided at a local village after learning how to weave palm leaf baskets and make coconut rope and we all eat at The Rock restaurant – which sits on a rock just off the coast.

Also, surprise adoptions!

Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro looking all mysterious beyond the disturbingly inactive-looking propellors of our plane.

I’m not going to write a huge update right now. Today’s events deserve a proper write up. Right now we’re relaxing in our upgraded hotel suite, which is approximately the size of a tennis court. Our bathroom has enough space in the shower cubicle for a dozen people and there is a view out the window (of our room, not the shower) of a mosque so festooned with fairy lights it looks like the world’s most inappropriate attempt to replicate a Christmas tree architecturally.

Viva la Africa!
