I spent two nights at the Amaan Bungalows in Nungwi, Zanzibar and an optional activity through my G Adventures 35 day Overland Truck adventure was a two-hour Sunset Cruise with all you can drink beer and Rum & Coke, followed by a fish dinner on the beach with a bonfire, for $35. Although I didn’t have any preconceived ideas of what it would be like, when I approached the boat, I have to admit I thought it seemed a bit rickety or primitive…
There was one life jacket, but plenty of drinks!!
Unfortunately, when the two young Danish girls were getting onto the boat, the wood was wet and one of them…Kikki…slipped and hurt her foot. Here she is with her foot propped up…
Here’s our driver…James and another G Adventures Tour Director in training.
I spent the two hours on the second level with these fellow travelers…
and here is my roommate…Suzanne…
Cheers!!
That night after the cruise, we had a great time on the beach…eating, drinking and dancing! It was so much fun…I don’t have any photos!!

Sounds and looks amazing!
The water is so pretty!!
Those are the best times…when you’re having so much fun, you forget to take photos!
You’re right!
Great memories!
Yes…they are! Thanks!
What memories you have created. I love the pictures and the boat looks a little sketchy but I’ve been on some questionable boats down in mexico and everything was fine. It just ads to the experience.
You’re right! It was perfect for the setting!
The fact that your journey is fascinating. I’ve never seen a ship so precarious, you’re a real adventurer, I think the next I’ll see you in an adventure movie.
But the good thing is all real and you do not convert anyone, you walked through those magical places.
That’s funny you say that…I’ve been thinking of being on T.V.
You look great! And to be on such and adventure!
I really enjoy reading your blog and wanted to let you know that I’ve nominated you for an award.

Thank you so much!
The smiles say it all!
Yes…we were happy!!
What a great adventure you had! Was nice to follow you through all your trip!
I’m so glad you did! Thanks!
Sail into the the sunset … I suppose if the water where calm – but otherwise, me being a sailor .. I would never go in a boat if there wasn’t life vests enough. That color on the ocean is fantastic. A good way to get a great tan too – out at sea. Thanks for sharing with me.
We were pretty close to shore…I probably could have swam for it!
You made .. without any problems – and life vests.

Hi, I’ve really enjoyed reading about this adventure, sounds fantastic. Just to also let you know, as you HAVE been away (;-)) that my blog address as changed and in changing it, I lost all my likes, followers & stats, what a pain!! I would be grateful if you could find the time to re-like at least a few posts that you’ve liked before and even more grateful if you would follow me again
New blog address is: http://cabodegataphotography.wordpress.com – it’s still the same monkey behind the wheel though! xx
I think I could have fun on such a boat as well
Yes…it’s a good thing we never veered too far from shore!
It may be a bit rickety but it makes for great pictures!
That’s true!
Thanks for the like on my blog. I enjoyed this post. I am curious as to how long you have been blogging.
I think almost two years. How about you?
Let’s see. Counting today . . . almost a month!
??
I’ve seen better boats, but as long as it didn’t sink, that’s good.
That’s true! I wasn’t too worried…maybe that was because of the rum.
It was so much fun I don’t have any photos…it’s about time.
The photos of the cruise are great.
Thanks Michelle!
Incredible Sherry, I enjoyed every picture you you shown us.
Thanks Bob! So good to see you on my blog!
