maisha yangu huku Afrika

i must say Jambiani is the best beach i've ever been to. why? the hotel we stayed at was nice, room, restaurant, location. the village itself is untouched and you see the people's life as it is. so nothing to do there except shell picking and walk toward the ocean, or along the beach. lay around. that's what we did. we tried to find local restaurant but kept bumping into this Middy in yellow t-shirt. he's quite young but he has a kitchen. in two ways. here they say someone who's married, he has a kitchen(huyu mtu ana jiko). Middy has a wife and he's a chef at a restaurant. we kida borrowed their jiko, a charcoal one. we bought octopus from fisherman, half deepfried,(Middy cooked), half barbeque... was our tension but he boiled them!!! anyway we warmed them up on charcoal. was good, safari with lime and salt. octopus with chilly. simple but goooood.
JambianiがZanzibarでも一番好き。なぜかはまったくと言っていいほど開拓されてないから。でも素敵なホテルはあって、そこの料理もおいしい!とことんヒマで貝拾い、海に向かってズンズン歩いたり（すっごい遠浅）、もしくは波打ち際をひたすら歩いたり。村を散策。ほんとにのどかという言葉はこういう場所のために存在するんじゃないかな。ちょっと違うレストランを探しに村に出たけど、村人は外食というものをしないらしく、仕事に行ってもお昼は家に帰って食べるらしい。イコール地元人の行く店は存在しない!そして何度も出くわしてしまうMiddyの店でお世話になることに。タコと貝を漁師さんから買い炭火焼とから揚げにしよう！ってことに。タコを柔らかくなるからとビシビシたたくMiddy。ホントかね?トウガラシとレモン、塩のシンプルな食事がおいしかった。やっぱり新鮮とシンプルがいい！
