Zanzibar the first time.
On Friday, October 10th, we left Mombasa, and took a plane to Zanzibar, an Island off the coast of Tanzania. The plane we took was pretty small. I think there were maybe forty seats on it. Maybe less, I really am not sure. It was definitely pretty small though. The following day we went to a museum and in the afternoon we went to the anglican church in Stone Town. The church is on the site of the slave market in Stone Town. When the slave trade was abolished, the market was changed into the church. That night, we took a boat from Stone town to Pemba. The boat was way over-crowded, and people were sleeping in the aisles. The boat ride took 8 hours, and was overnight. The safety of the boat was questionable because there was only one exit that was open and the boat was way over capacity. Luckily, the boat got to Pemba safely.
