A Greeting from the Spice Island

Hi All

Hope all is well with friends and family and that none have been negatively affected by the snows in the UK?

Well, it's been a while since our last update.  We took the decision to relax from life on the road, and the diary for a few days, and pushed through Tanzania to the Indian Ocean coast - skipping the parks altogether.  At Peponi beach (near Pangani) we spent a few days lazing around.  Also met up with another SA couple and shared a local motorised dhow across to Zanzibar yesterday.  We'll spend a few more days exploring before returning to Mapenzi and the drive south.

We've had a few requests to include more photos of ourselves on flickr.  We've been trying to upload only the ones we're really proud of, but if it's us you want, we'll try and deliver! I'll be practising 'blue steel'...

Looking forward to hearing your news

Love from

Michael & Sarah

howzit, howzit

Much wailing and knashing of teeth has been done in our household as we have had the misfortune of missing 2 days of school due to bad weather! Oh what a trial! All this whiteness around and we don't knwo what to do with ourselves.

Glad to see that chilling has finally overcome tedious mileage and that you have found your weary way to the mysical spice island of which most of us can only dream wistfully inbetween digesting our daily treadmill.

Put more photos, need to feed my pipedream.

Hi Monkey

Sorry that we forgot to send our birthday greetings on the day but hope that you had a fab time anyway and that mike treated you to a sundowner on some remote corner of the dark continent.

We thought of you on the day anyway. By the way where are you guys now? We have heard that you were in Malawi but were not sure where you were going after that or evn after that. Not too much more driving now though, so spend the time chilling out.

hopefully we'll speak soon.

ciao
Dave and Joey
