My second trip to Tanzania completes my three country, six trip tour of the world. How splendidly symmetrical. Though the pictures below tell a story of continuous jaunts along the Indian Ocean, flirting with the flora and the fauna, I actually spent most of my time sitting in front of a laptop (the screenshots from which I will gladly spare you).
