Zanzibar, Tanzania for our 35th Wedding Anniversary

Tuesday December  14th
We flew on Oman air from Muscat to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on a day time flight that took 5 hours. We were the only Western faces on the plane. On arrival we handed in $200 for visas and the forms we had completed earlier. We had stressed about photos, bank account info and not of it was requested. As we arrived at peak rush hour we had plenty of time to watch daily life as we crawled along. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Business District as we wanted to be close to the harbour for a ferry to Zanzibar the next morning. We made a reservation for the fast ferry with a estimated travel time of 1 1/2 hours versus 2 hours on the slower ferry.  It is frustrating not having a guide book so we used the internet to do some reading.
