ZANZIBAR

February 2020.  Hakuna matata...   We are in Zanzibar.... For 3 weeks!!!

 

                                         Zanzibar city....The old town

                                                                  In the streets of the old town

                         In the very colourful market of the old town

                                                                   A typical door in Stonetown

                                       An ordinary day in Stonetown

           We really enjoyed walking in this labyrinth of narrow streets

                                                          A nice walk along the sea

                                                                                 Men at work !

                                     The fishmarket....It stinks a lot.. .

             Cant stay here more than 5 minutes.... Virus can be everywhere

                                                           In the streets of Stonetown

                                            Bruno in the Spice Tour..

It's a walking tour in a spice farm where you can see how the spices, herbs and fruit grow and are cultivated..

You can smell, you can touch and sometimes you can taste!

 

                                                                             This is pepper

                                              2 women cooking in a village

                                                                 Fresh nutmeg

                      Prison island has a lot of turtles aged to 194 years.

                      In 1919, the British governor of Seychelles sent a gifT 

                                       in form of 4 Aldabra giant turtles

                               Bye bye Zanzibar city...It's time for us to take a dala dala.. 

                       A very popular small bus that takes you anywhere in the island

                         90 minutes later, we are  on the east coast

                       Crystal waters...The warmest i have never seen in my whole life.

                                               But you  can only swim at high tide...

                                      A village in the north of the island

                                     An ordinary day in an ordinary village...

                                          But where are all the people?

Fortunately, we met some children... And they looked happy to see someone!!

                                              Fatima is back from the market !!!!!

                                                    In the middle of the village

Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is the only national park in Zanzibar and is home to the unique red colobus monkey.

                                Women harvesting seaweed in Paje

                 And then make a living by transforming it into organic soaps, scrubs, and essential oils

                             Hey girls !!!!It's time to go back home

                                                    Fishermen are back!!!

                                                         A sexy fisherman i tried to catch!!

                     Another dala dala...On our way to a beautiful beach

                                                                  Ain't life wonderful?

                                      Kendwa beach....In the north.... 

             According to me, the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar..

                                          But it was fucking hot!!!

                                            A traditional dhow sailing on the Indian Ocean

                                                         Selfie with two Masaï

                                             Kim Kardashian, this one is for you....

                                               Pink is not the right colour  for me....

                                 Too flashy and, of course, this dress is too large !!

Masaï from north Tanzania,  beachboys or ladies selling all kind of things

                                        ( even their bodies )..

There is always someone to sell you something on a beach in Zanzibar..

                                                 It really sucks!

   No comment.... all is said !

                                Look what i found!!! I am very proud of it !

Dubaï is a madness of men, a heresy

 

دبي جنون الرجال ، بدعة

                 So much water spent... What for?..Desert is all around!!!

                 And they keep on building, and building, and building..

                                                                     There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

                                                                         And she's buying a stairway to heaven

                                                                                        That song is for DubaÏ !!

                        Old Dubaï has become a kind of museum, now

                                                   DubaÏ old fort museum

                                                                Watching the  river flow

                               It's time for me to get out of here . Fed up !

                           Bye bye Dubaï... Glad to be back home..

                           But Covid 19 is waiting for me in Europe

                           And i'm not sure this is a good news
