Hi Leony,
We're almost home again after a fantastic trip! We had an absolutely wonderful time. First in Ethiopia to see our daughter Anne and to see how she lives there. Afterward, the safari in Tanzania, which was truly amazing. The variety in the parks, all the animals, the people, the brilliant driver/guide, the cook who served us delicious meals every time and was also a lovely person, it was all truly wonderful. Furthermore, we were incredibly lucky with everything we saw and experienced, and we also had a really enjoyable and relaxed time together.
The final week on Zanzibar was also very enjoyable and relaxing. The clovehotel was fine. Definitely recommendable. For instance, we had a bed that was 2.10m long, which is quite pleasant if you have a partner who is 2m tall. On the way north, we did the spice tour, and that was also an excellent way to do it. It cost us the least amount of time and money. The stay in the cottages near the lighthouse was also fine and wonderfully relaxing. We also did two different snorkelling tours there. One was a half-day trip and the other was a full day. That was also very enjoyable to do. The return journey via Dar es Salaam was also fine. There, we visited a few things with the driver/guide, which was also very nice.
Everything was very well organised. Each time, someone was waiting for us and took us to our destination. Very pleasant people. That made it a wonderfully relaxing holiday for us.
I would like to speak with you again in a few weeks. I will email you then, and I hope you will then get back in touch by telephone. I just wanted to let you know that we are very satisfied and happy with how everything was arranged and how it went. Anne is returning from Ethiopia in two weeks, and we are looking forward to that.
Warm greetings from Willemien and I hope you have had a good holiday period too.
