A few pictures against all odds

I repel electronic devices. During this trip my phone has died, my camera backlight stopped working, my memoristick drowned (ok, that was Nick, not me) and my computer has refused to start. In other words, only my mp3 player has survived...so far.
Anyhow my computer did decide to play Jesus and come alive again. But a few days after I came home (oh right, I'm HOME for those who didn't know that yet) it said "disc crash". Turned out, it was no disc crash, but a virus. So I drove it off to get fixed, and will know if I have anything left in a few weeks time. Good thing I got dvd backups of all of my pictures and most of other peoples pictures. Of course, my dvd-burner didn't get through the trip unharmed either, so not ALL the pictures were burned to the dvd successfully. Well, at least I have most of it, and who knows, I might get it all back. Time and computer geeks (thank god for computer geeks) will show.
I'm off to Italy tomorrow (yay!), and will be back next monday to write some final blogentries about my trip.
In the meantime, enjoy some of the pictures from my last few weeks at Zanzibar:

Nick + cocktail at Africa House

me + cocktail at Africa House



Forodhani foodmarket. "This octopus, this shrimp, lobster, kingfish, snapper..." I've been there so much I could start my own company as a guide there

Nick: "if we have the fan on the mosquitoes will stay away" Yeah right, 300 bites, none of them on Nick.

Feeding giant tortoises!

Public transport rules. Not so fun waiting 2 hours, but still. Cheap!

Me + colobus monkey

More public transport. This was before they dropped lots of wood on my neck.

Jealous?

Party at the beach!

Mistah lovah lovah, I went to a SHAGGY concert inside the Old Fort.

The day I was supposed to tan..................

The shortshort story of amazing times, shitty things and endings

This post is without pictures because
1) A few days ago Nick went swimming for half an hour with my memorystick in his pocket.
2) My computer most likely died a few minutes ago (still have the pictures though, but can't look at them) 

I feel like I'm repeating myself, but: I'm at Zanzibar! Again. Again again.
Left Arusha Thursday two weeks ago to maybe possibly meet up with Nick Without A Phone (also known as Nick The Giraffe Kisser) somewhere someplace at some day in Dar. And I found him!
Have been at Zanzibar since that Friday, and have spent lots and lots of time in Stone Town ("jambojambomusic? jambo, jambo bwana, habari gani, nzuri sana", "4scarf10dollaryes,goodpricegoodpricemyfriend", "yestaxi?"), we went to Prison Island (which has never been a prison) and fed giant tortoises, spent a few days at Jambiani at the east coast, went on a spice tour, and Kendwa. And then Nick left....SO I'm back at Kendwa to spend my last days in Africa on getting tanned (so I don't have to when I go to Italy in a week and a half). A bit bored from being here, as I've been here a million times before, but it's still quite nice, and I'm very torn between wanting to go home and not wanting my trip to end. Flying home Sunday night, so will stay here until then. I think.

Will add pictures either when I get home, or if my computer decides to play Jesus, and come alive again after some days.

Oops we did it again

So.....we actually did leave Kendwa last monday, spent 2 nights in Stone Town, and were planning on going to Dar on wednesday. Somehow, we ended up back in Kendwa instead.... We WILL be leaving Kendwa tomorrow though, and go to Dar on tuesday. I'm superexcited! Going to Zambia soon too. Anyways, here are some pictures from the last week:
