It's our last day in Zanzibar and I'm nursing a monster hangover courtesy of last night's New Year's Party, dancing on the beach til 5am. Ugh. Tomorrow we leave for Dar Es Salaam, to catch a bus to Nairobi and hopefully not get caught up in the violent disputes raging there over the contentious election.
As I look back over the last 3 months, they've been 3 very happy and special months. Many many happy memories of good people and fun times and also of special little moments, little acts of random kindness or scenes of breathtaking beauty that pepper life here. Zanzibar is fast changing but it's still not hard to scratch the surface and discover something quite wonderful underneath.
I'm now a qualified divemaster and pretty pleased to be one. Learning to divemaster has been a challenging and rewarding experience and many images of underwater landscapes and sealife will remain etched into my memory for many years. I think it might possibly be the best job in the world - even on a Monday morning I look forward to coming to work.
So now it's onwards and upwards to Ethiopia to see how trekking the highlands for Link Ethiopia compares to plumbing the depths for Scuba Do. As always though, it's not the destination that matters, it's the journey; and the next few weeks are shaping up to be an interesting one.

Thanks too for the postal address. I´ll be amazed if a postcard from here actually gets there, but I´ll try.
