We spent our final days in Tanzania on the beach in Zanzibar. Wednesday morning we set out for the east coast of the island where we got to stay in Jambiani right on the beach. The beach was beautiful! The water was so clear and ranged from sky blue to teals based on the depth, the sand was almost white and very soft, and there were perfect shells scattering the beach. We spent a little time on the beach or in the water before lunch and snorkeling. Everyone had an awesome time snorkeling. There were so many fish and other sea creatures to look at and the water felt so good as well. Our "guides" pulled out starfish for us to look at and hold, the coolest one being bright red and grey with spikes all over it. Later that night we started a fire right on the beach and got to relax and have a good time with everyone on our last night in Tanania.
The next morning lots of us got up to watch the sun rise over the Indian Ocean. It was really pretty and had some great views. After breakfast we had more time to get in the water, relax on the beach or start packing up our stuff for the long journey ahead--no one really wanted to leave though!
Once we left Jambiani, we traveled for 32 hours and 22 minutes straight until we landed in Minneapolis and used almost all modes of transportation possible: two buses, a ferry, and two planes...the only thing missing was a train! Our travels went smoothly though with only a slight delay leaving Amsterdam.
Overall this trip was amazing! We all had such a good time and will have so many memories (and pictures) to share with everyone back home...thanks for keeping up with us!
