Left our bags at the hotel not sure they understood that we were going away for two nights but hopefully they will still be there when we return. Journey to Ukunda was easy. We thought we were going to have to pay for the ferry crossing but no where to buy tickets turns out it was free. Our hotel a short Matatu ride from beach and very nice balcony and even hot water! Went down to Dani beach very resorty. Lots of people around on 1-2 weeks holiday with mone...

We set off with Matt from the hostel who had already spent a day aimsley walking around so had more of an idea where everything was.
