Day 11 (Dec 11/rest day)

Once more we spent this day resting in the hotel courtyard and decided to take a dip in the pool. 

The temperature must have been around 42 degrees when we dipped into the pool

Apparently a coconut drink has more use than simply quenching one's thirst. So we gunned for it.

Later we went to buy boat tickets for Zanzibar and enjoyed a Coconut fruit drink sold on the beach. We asked the driver to take us to a nice restaurant for a good meal and he took us to a fast food joint, yet another Steers. Tumi rephrased and asked him to take us to a restaurant better than a burger shop. When he still could not get it, Tumi asked where do the rich people in Dar eat and he was excited to take us to a slightly upgraded fast food joint, equivalent to Nandos. All that we wanted was a 5 star meal joint to compensate for the not so exciting meals we had on the way up to Dar. We realised we are not going to win and settled for that, WTF?! To top it all he pulled up a chair to join us, at which we politely asked him to take a hike.
