Zanzibar — Stepping back in Time

Something was in the air when I arrived in Zanzibar and it wasn’t just the aromatic smell of cloves in April.

I had an extra long flight, so to break up the hours in the air, I decided to stop off in Hong Kong for a week.

This was a year when my three daughters were off on a trip with their dad and I decided that six weeks sitting at home would be down right depressing. To break up the long stretch without them, I flew to Singapore and crossed over into Johor Bahru because I could catch a cheaper flight from JB over to Kuching in Malaysia’s Sarawak, rather than from Singapore.
