We started from Malpensa, were we, the magnificent 4! Anna Robby Tella and Cesare.Il point of arrival and Zanzibar would be exactly the famous beach of KIWENGWA, on the east coast of the island. After 7.15 hours of flight we arrived at where we upheld a suffocating heat, in addition to the shocking approach with the locals you stapled axle for a few dollars with any excuse. At the time I was a little 'annoyed but I only realized later that was to bring poverty to all this. Then we were loaded on to the direct bus to where we are after about 2 ore.La way to go and 'to say the least distrutta.E' from coach trip, which begins to realize the situation of the poor people of Zanzibar. We pass through villages to the dilapidated houses, built with mud and straw, the children play amid the dust and the cows graze on waste. I challenge anyone to stay at Mapenzi Beach impassibile.Arrivati, seems to have reached an oasis! We need fresh towels to pass on their faces, a cocktail and we assign the rooms are spacious with a beautiful canopy bed covered with a mosquito net, cupboard, bathroom giant, air-conditioning and veranda with chairs and table! The Mapenzi is beautiful, has a typical African warm tone that is very soon fall in love! E 'consists of vast halls and stairs covered with a roof of wooden beams and paglia.Sono scattered here and there intimate sitting rooms with sofas and big cushions and there is a canopy with mosquito net that is very relaxing! cuisine and 'excellent and plentiful, with our own dishes and africani.Il restaurant is raised so as to dominate the village and the beach, from the table you can relax watching the changing of the sea ... because you know it? Zanzibar 'own famous for this, for the phenomenon of maree.Nell' arc of the day you will never see the beach the same: you can have water close at hand you can have a kilometer and a half! When you withdraw up to the reef are one kilometer white beach of discovery that exposes a banquet as starfish, sea urchins and shells! When the tide rises, water begins to fade in color and all shades of blue and green! E 'un vero spettacolo! The beauty is that Zanzibar has much to offer its visitors with the various excursions that you can personally effettuare.Noi we have supported, like most other people, BEACH BOYS, the so-called kids spiaggia.Noi we were Pilo by the panel and I want GIACOMO absolutely recommend to all as serissimi.A personally have made me break in the heart as can be appreciated by their simple questions and their sweet smiles! E 'in this context that I want to make an appeal that there seem strano.L 'last day we discovered, speaking to Pilo, who had never eaten a slice of pizza, but we think? We assurdo.Quindi please, anyone going in circles Beach KIWENGWA Pilo, it is not difficult to find, and ports outside the village a slice of pizza just for the pleasure of doing some 'good for people less fortunate of us! We have not done in time! For us the effort is minimal! However excursions to come to which we participated: BLUE LAGOON: The meeting place and 'outside of the 8.00.Si usually starts with the coach and you go south of the island, Fumba where you take the boat to reach KWALE Island and that' a tongue of sand desert in the middle of the Indian beauty sconvolgente.E 'surrounded by a sea of incredible shades of blue and coral reefs rich in corals from the most strange and beautiful colored fish and starfish rosse.Dopo snorkelling, it takes the boat and go on another nearby island much larger for lunch, because Kwale is aimed at a certain time to be submerged by water because of the tide except cunetta top will become a meeting place to raise is that gulls in flight to every passing boat! We are ready to eat and we settled at the table under the huts equipped to accommodate tourists affamati.I boys meanwhile preparing to eat their lunch and barbeque.Il 'a riot of crustaceans , lobsters, shrimp and octopus in abundance! On the island there is a Baobab gigante.Dopo 2 hours it takes the boat and went to visit the park of mangroves. Molto bello anche questo.Sulla way back there is the possibility to make a dip and you dive from the boat in turquoise, close to the "ruins" of Kwale, with the many seagulls that rose in the air to our arrival.

A truly emozionante.Il lunch is served in a restaurant zona.Nel the afternoon visiting the józan Forest where you can see the "red monkeys" (Red Colubus).

The coach will discharge away from 'entrance to take a small piece on foot and when we raise our eyes we see how many stars has the sky! E' image in my port as well as the simplicity and the smiles of the inhabitants of this island 1000 despite the problems they faced, they are only repeating: Hakuna Matata (no problem), we have much to learn from these people! "A journey begins when we start or end when we reach the goal. In fact, begins long before and never ends, since the tape of the memories continue to flow in even after we fermati.E 'the virus of the trip, essentially incurable disease. "(Ryszard K.)
