More Zanzibar

We decided to visit prison island today. This is where they have the giant tortoises. It is about 1/2hour boat ride. The tortoise was amazingly gigantic. We were able to pet them and feed them and we even witnessed a mating event. That was very interesting. After the tortoise, we walled around the island. It turns out that it was a quarantine island for typhoid. The hotel on the island was the sultans holiday home. We then went around  the island to swim in the Indian ocean and snorkel. The starfish was my favorite species. A bright orange red color. So beautiful. So we then headed back for lunch and had a spectacular view of the ocean. We loved sallim. Something so induring about this man. I told him I wanted to take him home so he can remind me of hakunamata everyday.
