We made a bit of meal of getting to the east coast from Nairobi. A wrong turn, and hasty tube repair delayed our arrival at the east coast. Fortunately we were able to get 2 spare front tubes in Mombassa - so grateful for Fred, one of the local policemen for pointing us to the right shop as downtown Mombassa is a crazy place and I would have had no idea where to start looking for a tube.
We then headed to a place called Peponi beach, on the N. coast of Tanzania. It had a great campsite and there are a few coral reefs close by. We took a dow and sailed about 3 km offshore to explore the coral and fish - a nice outing.
From Peponi beach we headed straight for Sunrise beach on the south side of Dar. We left our bikes there and caught the cheapest ferry, called 'The Flying Horse', to Zanzibar. The Flying Horse is by no means fast and it took us about 3 hours to the 70km crossing.
Joe and I arrived in Stone Town and decided we'd rent 'The flying mule', a Honda 250cc motorbike to cart us and our luggage around the Island. On Friday morning we rode up to the N. of the island to a town called Nungwi. Its probably the most commercialised place we've been to thoughout our trip - picturesque beaches though, a wide range of shades of turquise waters and white beaches. We then moved to the east coast yesterday and are about to board The Flying Mule - back to Stone Town and Sunrise beach.
