Between The Rock and a hard place

Yesterday was our final full day in Zanzibar and for that matter in Tanzania. We spent the day getting massages, spending time in the sun, and swimming in the ocean. For our final night we went to a restaurant called The Rock. It was a two hour drive to get to is restaurant and completely worth it. Om the way we also got to see the red colobus monkeys which are not found anywhere else in the world. We had heard about The Rock restaurant before we left through CNNs 10 coolest restaurants in the world and it definitely lived up to the hype. Depending on the tide you either can walk or have to take a boat to the stairs. It is a small house situated very precariously on a bit of coral reef out cropping. Because it was a Monday and because it was low season we had the whole place to ourselves. We went all out and had wine, fish carpaccio, battered prawns, octopus salad and I had the gnocchi with vanilla and prawns for the main course. The food was delicious and the company even better. The stars were the best we saw the whole trip and we were even able to see the Milky Way. I am so torn to be leaving Tanzania. I can't believe how fast my time here has gone and there are so many things I love about this country but also so many this I am ready to be done with. I am so sad to be leaving new friends but I know we will see each other again.
