Day 83- Zanzibar 25/12/12

Managed to stir myself for breakfast, and see the beauty of where we are staying. Beautiful seemingly endless white sands, with lots of thatched shade umbrellas (correct description?) and glorious warm water in different shades of turquoise. Even I, someone who would pay a lot of money not to lie on a tropical beach, am really impressed. I wonder just how much a holiday here would cost! The "Cairo Four" plus Erin had a most enjoyable Xmas lunch in the beach restaurant - chicken stir fry. Karina gave me the most amazing Xmas present of a "replacement" pack of weetabix, an African magazine and a piggy bank with assorted coins inside so I have plenty of options for my next trip.

In the evening, we all went to another restaurant along the beach and had an excellent meal - although I am not sure that gnocchi and seafood in garlic, finished off with an Irish coffee, is a local Zanzibar dish.
