Zanzibar 10 September 2007

On Monday we drove to the north of the island where we spent a couple of nights at the Smiles Beach Hotel. http://www.zanzibarmagic.com/english2nd/smilesbeachhotel.htm . We visited the turtle conservation project which hatches eggs and looks after the turtles until they are about ten months old, after which they are released into the sea. Some females are kept until they are more mature (about two years).



In the evening we went out in a dhow and snorkelled on a reef offshore then sailed back as the sun was setting.
