I woke early to see the sunrising on the town. Dawn has such a great feeling to it!
After another Tanzanian breakfast, Sonja and I went on a dolphin adventure with a few other travellers. Again, we were taken in a van to another part of the Island. It was a long trip past more rural areas. The coast line is absolutely stunning. White sand, turquoise, gorgeous water. Just what you would expect for an exotic paradisical island.
The boat we went out on was an old handmade wooden fishing boat with an orange tarpauline rigged up to provide shelter from the sun. We headed quite far out from the coast. 
We were soon accompanied by frolicking dolphins. I was in awe. We were told to jump in - with our flippers and snorkels, and it was an incredible experience to be swimming with the dolphins. I could see them below me, even a baby dolphin between its parents. In the silence of the ocean, we could hear the dophins calling out to each other. It was amazing. Then they'd surface for air, some with others on their backs. An amazing special moment to be so close to these beautiful creatures.
