Zanzibar Tanzania Pool

I think this may have been one of the biggest swimming pools I have ever seen. It was at the Royal Zanzibar Resort. This section was one of three different levels of the pool. It looked like a thousand people could be swimming at one time in all three levels. It was enormous. The whole place was enormous and obviously out of my budget range. Dave and I wandered on it by mistake and as soon as we did we were accosted by security and politely escorted off of the premises. They did, however, walk us through the property to the front gate and allow me to stop and take a few pictures. Nice guys, but I don’t think I could have bribed them to let me swim in the pool.

I’m on the beach. It’s a nice beach. Dave and I are checking out the dive shops. I’m pointing to one of the old style boats in the harbor. There were lots of them. Remember, Zanzibzr is an island. Virtually everything that comes here comes on a boat. I sat during lunch the same day and watched a bunch of locals wade into the water and unload all kinds of cargo by hand while he boat was anchored in the shallow area of the beach.

There are some advantages to traveling with a group and there are some disadvantages. One of the advantages is that you have a ready-made group of dinner companions. When there are 20 people in your group there is always someone to talk to. One thing about this trip is that I’m never lonely. That, of course, is not always an advantage.
