We took the noon ferry to Zanzibar. Arrived in Stone town an hour later. Stone town is like a maze of many little twisting streets not big enough for cars. Lots of mopeds & bikes traverse these charming alley ways. And tons of people..We immediatly met a guy named Eddie who took us to a hotel. The Riverman hotel Ive gotten lost trying to find this place at least 7 times already.
The 1st night we went to this huge outdoor fish market right on the water. They had every kind of fish & sea crustation you could imagine layed out on tables ready to be cooked. I picked out my fish & the guy propmtly put it on a makeshift BBQ to cook. Got my huge plate & sat down with Sam, Jason & Chris. Sam was chatting up these two french girls one of whom was gorgeous.
After dinner we went down the block to Mercury's. Actually Freddy Mercury's of Queen fame. Apparently he was from Zanzibar & owned a pub/eatery there & this was it. So we sat down got some drinks & I began to flirt a bit with Clair one of our French friends. Who were actually were there in Zanzibar helping built a school. After some flirtations & more beers. We found our way to this dance club where we danced a bit. They even played my favorite African jam banchuka chu. After some exhausting dancin, we sat down with some other Mzungus(white folks)..Where we met a cool chic named Alex. I had a great chat with Coleen about world politics & burned one with the locals right in the club which was right on the water & had a huge empty pool in the middle of it. After ll was said & done we walked the girls to thier hotel & went to sleep..
