Thank you so much for your kind comment and for your generous support Denise! I will surely stop by your Market Friday post tomorrow with some juicy TipU votes (already used all of them for today).
Zanzibar? Well, we wanted to go to Africa as we haven´t been there yet. Usually, people from Europe travel to the popular Northern African destinations like Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco etc. and while these countries surely are interesting too, they don´t seem to have the "real African vibes" as they are greatly influenced by the European and Arabic culture so we were looking a bit further down to south when we stumbled on this very good deal Zanzibar package by one Czech travel agency. We haven´t traveled with an agency for ages but this time, with a very limited time for our adventure, their package seemed like a great fit for us as we wouldn´t be able to get the plane tickets and accommodation that cheap by ourselves. It was actually a direct charter flight, which saved us a lot of time and inconveniences too. So yeah, we went for the package and it really paid off. We spent a full week exploring the island and it was absolutely amazing. I took hundreds of photos there and I cannot wait to share them with you guys in my posts :) So far, I have just posted this little teaser...
You are absolutely right about the Northern part having more influence by the European/Arab culture and I am really glad you went! I would never have picked it off the top of my head, but, I don't think you could have picked any better! I agree that at times the packages give you way more bang for your buck, especially when I am on a shoestring budget or time-crunched. Some of the packages are insanely low and the accommodations are decent enough. I can hardly wait until you start rolling the rest of them out. The tease was awesome! You really know how to enjoy life!
Never feel obligated to tip me, I love what you do here on the blockchain and it feels good to see it.
Thank you so much! You already hit me! Thank you so much! That was huge!!
Well, in the past, we usually bought just one way ticket to a place and we stayed there for as long as we wanted. Sometimes a month, sometimes a year, you know :) This time, however, we had just a very little and restricted slot for the travel and the package just fitted in there nice (and cheap) so why not ;)
Yeah, I cannot wait to start rolling out the African posts either but I first need to go through those hundreds of photos I took there :)
My pleasure to send that TipU votes to your post! You deserve all the possible support for this epic series of yours. Happy New Year!
