| Smallest plane I've ever been on heading for a 35 minute flight to Pemba. |

| On a dala dala. The mode of transport here. It's as uncomfortable as looking at this picture. Best picture I could take. Dre fell asleep and woke up with a baby in his lap. Yes that just how it is. Zanzibar is touristy and has been influenced a lot by outsiders whereas Pemba is protected because Bill Gates bought a lot of the lands to perserve the culture so that another billionaire can't come and capitalize on these Swahili locals. |

But till this day Pemba is well known by the east coast countries as having the best mgangas (witch doctors). I met a successful business man from Kenya who journeyed to this small island of Tanzania for a few days to visit the beaches and talk to a witch doctor. He liked me and said that he will pray for me and seconds later he said that I was to ever go to one don't ask for anything specific. |
