Nungwi

MEMORABLOG: 3.12. - 8.12. 1998

Its time to hit some beaches... The fishing village of Nungwi straddles the Northern tip of Zanzibar and its shade is a welcome relief after the barren stretch of road that leads there. There are a number of local guest houses in the village and on the West side of the cape there is a number of guesthouses and a couple of loud bars. There are fine sandy beaches around the cape and excellent diving and game fishing off the coast. I would say this is one of the best beaches on Zanzibar, as there is no seaweed and the tide doesn't go out for miles...

We stayed at Amaan Bungalows, close to the beach and nearest bars... so we were really using the next days to relax and relax... Snorkel gear was readily available (though, if i ever return to Zanzibar, i have to bring my own, as their gear was a bit worn out), and maybe next time i will also to Padi diving course there...

Eh, days soon passed, having breakfasts on the waterfront, cristal clear water, great sea food and plenty of night life. Oh, bonus was that it wasn't overcrowded... Yep, and the sun was veeeeery strong, and good suncream was essential... I stayed more in shade, while Adi was often baking on the sun :) So much, that he ran out of the sun cream ;)
