Here's the rest of the vaca pics. Continuing with Zanzibar adventures.
Outdoor Market Seafood Smorgaisborg
Tried prawns, some types of fish, bit of lobster with my favorites being the fry bread, banana nutella crepes, and sugar cane juice.
The sugar cane juicing machine. Lovely invention.
Found giant bananas while we were exploring the market in Stonetown
Low tide on the east side of Zanzibar
Coconut milk and flesh are a delicious treat while wandering the shops in Stonetown
After our Zanzibar relaxation we had to journey back to Zambia. Tired of the train we took public buses for the most part in Tanzania. We stopped along the way to break up the many hours spent on buses. This is a crater lake outside of Mbeya, Tanzania. We caught a minibus out of town and then a local guided us up to the crater lake. It was a good 2-3 hr hike in and 2 hr hike out with all the downhills. Enjoyed a picnic lunch up top. Unfortunately the descent to the lake was a sheer cliff so couldn't stick your toes in.
Crater in the background. Hung the camera from a tree and had some fun with the timer. Finally got one with mostly everything in it..
It was an easy hike for the first hour or so, starting on a dirt road, narrowing to a path and eventually turning to mostly a climb. This is the way back down.
Back in Zambia we headed up to Northern Province to visit Lake Tanganyika. Spent two days down that side and on our way out of Mbala we visited Kalombo Falls. It was a rugged track that took 2 hrs by taxi to get to but was well worth it when we arrived. There's different vantage points for viewing the falls, this being the farthest, the closest being right at the top! At 235 meters it's the 2nd highest waterfall in Africa fun fact.
On that note that's the end of my vacation pictures. After our journey to Northern Province we worked our way back to Solwezi to return to village and work life.
Hope this gives you all a bit more insight on what I'm experiencing over here. Next step will be to add some village pictures.
