Another iphone photo - until I transfer my camera photos. :) This time from Stone Town in Zanzibar. Having a seafood lunch at a beach restaurant, watching the boats coming and going. Not the real Tanzania, I know, but a nice place to relax for a few days and to get lost in the tiny alleys. A very historical place filled with sights and pleasant people. Just a 2h ferry ride from Dar Es Salaam. #iphone #tanzania #stonetown #beach

"From the moment we walked in the door we were so welcomed and looked after. The staff were exceptionally helpful, the room was impeccable with the most gorgeous view over the ocean, and the room service was so friendly and clean. Our room was spotless, with a lovely turn down service and treats every night. We absolutely can’t wait to visit again, thank you for the beautiful memories! "
