Well, it's been a crazy few days, I don't even know where to start. It took us preceisely 24 hours to reach Kendwa beach on Zanzibar. Along the way, we were asked by a police man "what our problem was" as we unwittingly marched in front of a political procession at the airport, Zan Air demanded 75 dollars more than I had already paid them, before accepting the fact that they owe ME 17 dollars, we took a terrifying 9 seater plane with the same overweight pilot as last time (why oh why did i put myself through that again?), our friendly taximan bought us fresh coconuts on the way up here whilst chatting incomprehensible swahili all the way.
Kendwa is almost as awesome as I remember, a bit more touristy but we've managed to rent a room from a local guy and we have our own cooking facilities. I've started my divemaster course, which has been pretty cool, assisted a dive for the first time today and stopped some Americans from being... well American underwater. My knees are now incredibly sunburnt from sitting on a dive boat all day...
Yesterday, Rose and Ania donned headscarves and went to market to get some veg so we had fresh potato and aubergine curry on the veranda last night which was awesome. It's the end of Ramadan tomorrow and Jamie and James (friends from home) are leaving tonight so I'm looking forward to two fun nights.
I'll add some more when my head is spinning less metaphorically and literally. Drop me some emails!

Why is your head literally spinning?
Good to see that your arrival was so celebrated they decided to finally name it 'James Love Africa' as they'd been discussing. Presumably you have been proclaimed king of the whole place and installed as rightful leader of the untermensch.
