The Indian Ocean

The Republic of Zanzibar is an island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Technically, part of Tanzania - Zanzibar requires all visitors to the island to check in at customs and you even get a really cool stamp in your passport.

I took this photo from a rooftop in Stonetown, Zanzibar on Christmas day. No bats - but beautiful nonetheless.

For the record - yes, I took the picture of the lion.

The Coast of Dar

On Christmas day we jumped on a ferry and headed toward the Republic of Zanzibar. These photos are of the coast of Dar es Salaam - taken from the Indian Ocean.
