Local restaurant visit


On Thursday we were at a local restaurant called Lukman (I don’t know for sure how to spell it). There you could see a lot of food, and just pick what you want. We bought food and something to drink for 9000Tsh (40Nok, about 6 USD) for all 3 of us. After we were finished we had food for our watchman too.
Food we ordered:
3 Chapati
1 boul of miced meat
A large plate of potatoes with sauce
1 boul of pilau rice
1 boul of vegetables in coconut sauce
Chicken
Biriani rice with meat
1.5l water
For the whole restaurant trip (dalla dalla to town, eat, dalla dalla back) it costed us 10800Tsh (43Nok, 7 USD).
Some of the food. It tasted better than it looks.

Jambiani forest (monkeypark)

We went to a monkeypark to see monkeys, and it was very funny. The monkeys were called red monkeys and can only be found at Zanzibar. The monkeys were kind of interested so they come close and they were very cute!



They were a little family, some were playing, some were sleeping, and some just sat there looking at us.


Vacation!

 I am sorry that I am writing this so late, but this is about my autumn vacation.

After we were in Jambijani, we went to Bagamoyo, a small town at mainland.
We stayed at a hotel called “Mary’s nice place”, but it wasn’t that nice. We had to bend down to get a little pressure of water in the shower. We got 2 slices of bread with egg for breakfast, and tea.
When we sat, drinking coke, outside a local shop, a lady started talking to us. At first she wanted my mum to taste her food, but that didn’t happen. She told us that she was a teacher and that she had a school nearby with another girl. When my mum said that she was a teacher too, she became a little bit more interested, so she invited us to come to the school. We went to the school, and there we got to know that it was a Montessori school, for children at the age 3-5.


The children was very cute and it seemed like they enjoyed the school.




My dad knows this orphan home in Bagamoyo, so we went there to see how it was.

It was 2 houses, with 9 children in each house.

And I gave each of the homes a handball!



We also went on a little trip in a very small “car” to learn/see thing about Bagamoyo.
On the trip we went to a crocodile farm. They told us that they sold the skin to Italy and the meat to China.





My dad decided to go to a barber shop and he told the guy to do whatever he liked.

He started like this.

And ended up like this!





And that was my vacation!
