December 28, 29, 30 Nungwi Beach, Zanzibar

The days are starting to be all the same....wake up, coffee, swim, walk. eat.
I have taken some long walks along the beach. I am only able to do this when the tide is out as there are some large rocks that stick out into the water and the water is just too deep to get around. One day I walked for 1 hour south and ended up on Kendwa Beach. Another very nice beach with only high end hotels.

One has a large restaurant built on a pier that is only accessible from the resort. On this beach there is a mix of tourists and fisherman. Very interesting as they have their fishing nets laid out on the sand. At the end is a small bay with many fishing boats that are beach. At the far end there is a boat being built. These dhows are amazing, all wood, and built using hand tools!

Another day I went north. Near the light house the water is very shallow and you can walk out for a long way on the sand and rocks. Lots of sea urchins, star fish, rocks and grass. There are also many fishing boats beached. All very interesting.





Also over morning coffee we have been watching a group of 6 or 7 Romanians kite boarding off the beach in front of hotel.  Great to watch but they are getting lots of scraps on the rocks!
