hello everyone.. can you say Zanzibar

Hey!! How are you all? Everything is going more than great!!! People are beginning to think that we are locals wherever we go.. i don't know what it is about us but i must say we are some good travelers. haha well anyways what to say what to say.... we continued on and allowed our soar legs to heal from our dreadful day on the roof of our hostel cleaning our clothes by hand for many hours.. Then after that we continued onto TANZANIA!!! We were so excited we practically lost weight from jumping up and down so much. (that was an expression..) but yeah so we crossed the border it took 2 hours.. yeah 2 hours at the border to move on because they went through every single thing in the bus everything! CRAZY CRAZY... then we arrived in Tanga which is the sweetest little town i have been to in Africa! Adorable, the people are so sweet, and it just has that cozy small town sindrum. Everyone was biking around, that just what they do for transportation.. for the most part, i mean there are cars but it is cheaper to bike so they bike! It was like holland but not! Hehe oh i love traveling. We met up with one of Melanie's friends friends from a previous time in tanga! They were the sweetest people! They took us out showed us so many things and treated us like royalty! I love knowing local people it makes the experiences all the better! We only spent a day in Tanga, sad to say but we made the best out of it!!! We went on a bike for 1 hour and went caving for one hour and then 1 hour biking back! WOOT work out! I swear i lost any extra weight i had on me lol (just wishing).. So yeah then we just chilled out with the locals after that! What a blast.. Ew and we tried their local 'cocanut wine' it was repulsive! HAHAH EWWWWWW Mel and i had to plug our noses to finish our miniscule cup! GROose! Okie so then we headed on toward Zanzibar!!!!!!!! YEAH ZANZI! We went through some troubles trying to catch our ferry but like always so survived and moved on.. We met up with one of Mel's friends along the way to Zanzi and had a nice short visit. Very nice. So we had connections here at Zanzi so we have by far the best prices on our rooms here! BLESSED WE ARE! So happy, everywhere we go we are like full of it (blessings) We get local prices all the time! It's amazing! BY THE WAY!! MELANIE GOT BOOI BOOI!! (you know those outfits that the muslims wear that cover you in black except your eyes show) YEAH SHE GOT THAT! She has been wearing it for 1 day now and people are like wow! Muzugu ninga!! HHAHAHA So funny! But the locals really really respect her for that and they cant stop negging me to get my own lol... we'll see maybe it will grow on me some more! But a tourist was like excuse me are you muslim? Then he was like are you WHITE!??! lol he was so happy that he spotted mel and asked a billion of questions and they answer why she got it was she always wondered what it is like and also we are sick of guys hastling us! YICK! But yeah so we have been going to the ocean front for meals each night starts at 7pm and yeah goes till forever! The best food for like yeah cheap cheap like pizza drink dessert and icecream for like 3.50!! WOOOT WHO LOVES AFRICA! ??!? I do!! Anyways.. so today we have just shopped till we dropped (yeah mom you are right i can't controle myself) Such good deals.. Well yeah anyways I am typing this to you with excitment and anticipation to hear from good old Courtenay! Let me know what is up??? Anyone can write me right? lol well i hope you are all well and that you are full of peace and joy!
LOVE ADELE!!!!!
ps. Yesterday we took a "spice tour" and it was helarious!!!! Uhm AND INCREADIBLY BORING!!!!!!! OH MY... there were these little kids along the way from the villages and they made all these weaved rings and bracelets and yeah they stole 100 000 shillings from Mels purse which is like 90 dollars!!! She was totally miffed! GEEZE LOUISE! So we got over it in the afternoon with a cool swim in the indian ocean! BEAUTIFUL AND CRAZY ALL AT THE SAME TIME! (that was a side note) Oh and sorry for the spelling mistakes! (No spell check not enough time)
