on the way

first, i'll add a couple more impressions from mombasa. but stay tuned: some really interesting stuff is coming after that:)

did i tell you that we lived at barabara mwembe tayari ('ready' mango tree road)? it's definately a good name. the street is full of merchants having enormous baskets of mango...

mombasa IS a melting pot. also when it comes to religion. in one day, you can visit a couple of mosques, an anglical cathedral, a catholic church, a parsee temple, a jeenist temple (is the spelling right?), a sikh temple (anouncing the turban year ;)), a couple of different hinuist temples and probably many many more. and noone seems to fight another...

so many temples makes me feel religious. but even more the fact, that i'm travelling with two jesuses. really.... a couple of times cyprian was called 'jesus' by different people. blazej as well, though less frequently. so i'm travelling with a god squad :) could anything go wrong?


and now: TANZANIA....

you can see a difference right after a 5km-long no-man's-land between kenya and tanzania. the paved road is over. much less private cars, much more bikes. most of the houses made of wood and clay. stunnigly beautiful landscape. everything in swahili. little people speak little english. beautiful!!!

i have 5 min left, so just briefly - tanga (an almost abandonded city), pangani (lovely little town)

and... absolutely wonderful sailing on a dhow with local fisherman to zanzibar. 7 hr on a rather small boat on indian ocean... ahhh.... zanzibar is beautiful...
