One night becomes two, two nights becomes three, three nights turn into four, and before you know it 5 nights have eased past. I think it is time to move on. Isn't it?
Our little piece of paradise at Nacole Jardim just outside of Pemba has been, well, just fab. A secluded bush camp with only a few pitches for camping, three chalets, and a sprinkling of backpackers beds, and everything is spread out so that you feel nicely isolated. Brenda the owner makes you feel more than at home, her staff light a fire for you every night and deliver flasks of hot water morning and evening. We are set-up beneath three huge baobabs, which is quite special.
Pemba itself is fine, but nothing to shout about, and food in the market is much more expensive than we have found so far. It is a tourist destination after all.
We have swum, we have snorkelled, we have strolled, we have spotted birds, we have just relaxed. It would be rude not too.
The bread rolls from the bakery in town are great and cheap. Sue and I bought 30 yesterday morning and there is only one left this evening! I think we will leave Pemba via the bakery tomorrow and buy in bulk again as we have read that they are more expensive at our next destination up the coast at Pangane. Assuming of course that we manage to escape the pull of paradise!

okay I am now green with envy.... It is a very cold, grey JHB today. I know it is winter but it does help a bit when the sun shines!
I am leaving 16th June for Zanzibar, in case you get there early i will be at Breezesz beach resort (South East Coast) on the night of the 16 for 2 nights then heading north east to Gemma del Est for 2 nights (18 & 19) and then on to Mnemba for 3 night, and from 23 June back to Mbweni Ruins to join Anne and hopefully see you as well. Love Sheens
