Uwe and I spent two weeks in Tanzania and Zanzibar in January. One of the highlights for me wasn’t what we saw (although there were highlights aplenty). A highlight was what I got to do. It all started with a boat ride to spot birds. Uwe sat in the middle of the canoe and took photographs.
We had a fantastic guide/driver for a ten day safari. He knew everything, except how to swim. When the day’s activities involved going out in a canoe on Lake Duluti, he firmly declined to join us, even with a life jacket.
Did either Uwe or I know how to paddle a canoe? asked our guide for the lake. I do! I do! I was sooo excited. I grew up around water and canoes and man I miss them.
I spent the next two hours paddling the circumferance of the lake. Uwe took endless photos of the water birds. We were both in Paradise.
