Two Weeks in Zanzibar
Intro Two Weeks Activities Flights Money Great sites bloques and chicks Limited liability Travel info
I propose you to have a two week's holiday in Zanzibar. The idea is that we can have free accommodation in a very simple lodging (Matemwe). View of the beach in front of our bungalow.
You can stay the two weeks in Matemwe. But it would be stupid to miss the many wonders of the island. This is why I propose you some activities and visits, in Matemwe itself, or all around the island. Up to you to know what you want to see.
Here are all the proposed activities for the two weeks:
24/12/1999: Friday. We fly from Europe to ZNZ. BIG Party in the plane with the crew: it is Christmas. Have a drink with the pilot. Have a nice time with the hostesses...(guys only!, no women admitted) or with the stewards (the girls' best friends since they're all gays).
25/12: Saturday. Arrival in ZNZ, visit of Stone Town . Night in Town.
26/12: Sunday. Prison Island and Spice Tour (no!, no Spice Girls. Sorry guys...).
