zu machen und danach das Zwischenseminar zu
besuchen.
Wir sind über Nacht geflogen und kamen am frühen
Morgen auf Sansibar an. Wir haben uns in Stone
Town mit anderen deutschen Freiwilligen getroffen
und dort ein paar Tage verbracht. Wir haben uns den
Night Market mit vielen leckeren Speisen angesehen
und auch eine tolle Spice Tour gemacht. Bei der Spice
Tour wurden einem die verschiedenen Gewürze in
einem Wald gezeigt und wir durften auch Früchte
probieren. Danach sind wir weiter nach Nungwi
gefahren, also ganz in den Norden von Sansibar. Ich
bin dort Schnorcheln gegangen und wir konnten viel
am Strand und auf dem Markt entdecken. Leider habe
ich mir einen starken Sonnenbrand geholt, aber das
hat mich nicht davon abgehalten, Spaß zu haben. In
Nungwi gibt es wunderschöne Strände und man kann
die Abenddämmerung in einem Restaurant direkt am
Strand verbringen. Wir hatten dort wirklich eine tolle
Zeit.
Danach sind wir mit der Nachtfähre direkt nach
Daressalam, Tansania, gefahren. Nach ein paar Tagen
Stadtbesichtigung sind wir zum Zwischenseminar
learned how to make the traditional dish Nshima (a
type of corn mash).
Christmas here was kept relatively simple. Pretty early
in the morning we started cooking a lot of different
things like potatoes, noodles, chicken, beans and a lot
more. The day before I had also baked a cake that we
than ate all together. Unfortunately I could not really
get into Christmas spirit this year, probably because
it was so hot. But I enjoyed this other Christmas
nevertheless. You should always try every possibility
before deciding whether or not you like something
and whether it fits you.
A few days later Ben and I started our journey to
Zanzibar, where we were going on vacation for a few
days before continuing on to the intermediate seminar.
We flew over night and arrived in Zanzibar early in the
morning. We met up with other German volunteers in
Stone Town and stayed there for a few days. We visited
the Night Market with a lot of delicious specialties
and also did a great Spice Tour where we were shown
a lot of different spices in a forest and we were even
allowed to taste some fruits there. After that we went
to Nungwi, way in the north of Zanzibar. I went
snorkeling there and there was a lot to see at the beach
and on the market. Unfortunately, I got a very bad
sunburn, but that did not stop me from having fun.
There were lots of beautiful beaches in Nungwi, and
you can spend the sunset at a restaurant directly at the
beach. We had a really great time.
After that we took a night ferry to Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania. Following a few days of sightseeing we
went to the intermediate seminar. For a week we were
able to exchange experiences with other German
volunteers from Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and
Ruanda, to have discussions and to take trips to the
beach. I enjoyed this week a lot and it felt good talking
to other volunteers about each other’s problems, fears,
experiences and successes.
Then we went from Tanzania to Zambia by the
train, which took us three days. I shared the sleeping
compartment with two Korean girls, and we had a
great time together. The food was very tasty and the
staff was very friendly. Of course it took quite some
