Amazing day today!!!!! We went to prison island this morning. We were able to interact with the giant tortoises!!! I actually got to feed them and rub their necks!!! Then we saw one of the slave prisons...which is now a hotel. In the afternoon, we went out on a dhow and saw the dolphin swimming in the ocean... So....I jumped in...fins, snorkel and all and swam with them!!!!! It is not like the Caribbean...these dolphin are completely in the wild. You have to jump in quick when you see thm because they will continue to swim away. It was so incredible to see them swimming right beside me!!!!!!! After that we went to a natural forest and saw the red colobus monkeys. They are indigenous to Zanzibar. It was so great!!!! They were all around us....swinging thought the trees....walking right next to us...there were a couple of really tiny babies!!! We stayed for quite some time and just watched!!! I got some amazing video!!!! Tomorrow we go to Stone Town and visit the spice trade..... What a fabulous adventure!,,,, Talk soon...
