Ocean Paradise

A view of the bar, pool, and ocean


We did not have a zoom lens. Bruce could have poked this elephant in the eye.


We have been in Zanzibar for a few days now...enjoying the sand, the sun, the ocean, and most importantly, the cocktails!

We finished our 5 day safari late last week, and now in beach mode. The safari was fun, saw most of the same animals as we did in Masi Mara, but not nearly as many. The Serengeti was hot and dry, and most animals had already headed north to Kenya. We were hoping to see a kill....but only got as close as three lionesses stalking a buffalo....and no show to be had. We almost witnessed another kill later on at our campsite as a "cougar" was stalking some young Americans around the campfire. It seems these American animals were those of "flight" not "fight." It was another show not to be missed!!
Andrea got quite ill, victim of food poisoning along the way. The booze here on the island seems to be the remedy!

The resort in Zanzibar is absolutely beautiful! We have been just lounging around with a few excursions along the east coast of the island. We are snorkeling tomorrow around a coral reef off the coast, we are pretty excited!

We are back home on Saturday. Hope everyone is well!

Lots of love to you all.
