On the 12th of February 2012 I left a ice-cold Sweden (-19°) on a plane and finally land in +35° Dar es-Salaam in Tanzania. Then together with 2 of my total 10 (to be) travelling companions we proceeded to the island of Zanzibar where we had rented a house for a week. But before we went to the rented house we stayed one night in Stone Town.
It was mostly relaxing and doing some sightseeing around the island. We also went on a snorkeling/diving tour where I got to brush off my diving skills again. And visiting places such as the restaurant called The Rock. We also went swimming with dolphins, which I in hindsight regret doing because I did not really like the way the organizers kind of “chased” the dolphins around. You should respect wild life, always.
Anyway, this was the beginning of an epic adventure through 10 African countries over the course of 4½ months.
