• Tanzania Day 32 - Nungwi

    October 5, 2020 in Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We had a taxi booked to take us up the West Coast of Zanzibar to the northern tip Nungwi - it took just over 90 minutes from StoneTown.

    We were staying at Casa Carlotta which is a nice little hostel a few hundred metres from Nungwi Beach and after unpacking we set off to explore..

    After speaking to numerous tour sellers we chatted most with Captain Boris who we would later use for a couple of excursions and eventually made our way to Sandies Resort..

    The restaurant overlooked the sea and the views were incredible, it was part of a big resort which seemed to be fancy and although like everywhere it was quiet the food was very nice (if a little overpriced for the area)

    After our meal we needed to sort mobile data and find a cash point so we headed out to the main road after some ropey sounding instructions from our waiter...

    We found niether of the things we needed but we did meet Wallie who was a fisherman and real character - we walked together towards the beach as he was on his way to work and we joked about how hard his life is having two wife's, he insisted two is his absolute limit!!

    Once on the beach again we stopped in a bar called Kajibange with a boat outside for a check on the WiFi and to make sure we were walking in the right direction for home..

    We made it back to the hostel and settled in for an early night... Even though the room fan wasn't working - Joto!!!
