Zanzibaaaaar!

No one here seems to know Tenacious D. Oh well. Zanzibar is amazing. Within an hour I was sad to know that I just had a few days here. We stayed in Stone Town for one night, the northern beaches for two nights and here we are again in Stone Town. Yesterday I went snorkeling off of the town of Nungweni, and had freshly grilled fish on the powdered sugary beaches. Today was the first time I witnessed my first bribe to corrupt cops, as well. Very exciting. Apparently, Martin our tour guide sticks out as an obvious Kenyan in Tanzania, and because of ill feelings, is subject to being targeted by the local pigs. We were stopped for a routine check, and Martin was asked to get out. They were clearly hassling him, be they were speaking in Swahili, and we were all totally lost. He had to get into their car, and drove behind us for about ten minutes until we got to the police station. Our driver had to pay 300 USD to get us off, and Martin got back into our truck, extremely pissed. He insists that Kumuka contacted the Commision of Tourism, who apologized profusely and will return the money. Hmm. Sounds unlikely to me. We said goodbye to the Spaniards, and will be leaving tommorow for Dar Es Salaam for my last night with the group. After that, it will be a few nights in Moshi, then onto Mt Kilimanjaro. Insanity insues.
