However, this year the first big rainfalls appeared at the end of March and finished few day ago.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I guess packing raincoats for your African holidays would probably be a little disheartening, so I'm about to cheer you up. Even the hundreds of </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">litres of water pouring down from the sky, can't do much to lower </span><b style="font-size: 14pt;">the tropical temperature - it usually stays around 26-28 degrees Celsius</b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, paired with huge humidity. <b>The ocean is even hotter than usually</b>, becoming the perfect place to wait out the rain, probably an experience you've never had before. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">That's why of any waterproof gadgets we recommend umbrellas the most, or if you want to be super eco- friendly, huge banana leaves can also do the work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>The rain isn't relentless, but sometimes it can last up to 2 days non-stop.</b> For that possibility <b>it's best to be equipped in books and plenty of patience and willingness to relax </b>rather than sight see. Other days, though it rains for only an hour or two, and when the sun comes out you are rewarded for all the time spent looking at the dark blue sky blurring into one with the ocean. The sunbeams enlighten the fresh green tropical flora, making the raindrops look like tiny glistering diamonds. The colorful flowers can finally fully flourish revived by the beatific rain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Young, muscled men excavated a huge hole
for the pool. The swimming pool has been
designed with a direct ocean view. It will be nice to sit down on his edge with
a drink in hand and to enjoy the ocean, glittering with many shades of Sapphire
and turquoise. We also thought about the small guests – part of the pool will
be shallower, allowing safe water games.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The season for kite-surfing has just
started!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">
It's been almost 3 weeks since my arrival! The rainy season is coming to an end, exceptionally
late this year. Usually it stops raining
in mid-June. It is not like rainy days as we know from Europe, usually it rains
briefly, maybe a few minutes and then the sun comes out and it’s a beautiful
day. In our garden rain drops glisten on
the leaves of banana plants then rapidly dry out in the sun. These showers are
great for nature. The vegetation is now particularly lush with greenery. On our
plot of land flowers bloom and there is
a wonderful array of colour. The bushes have new, fresh leaves which bring out
a variety of shades of green. </div>

<span lang="EN-US">It is an ideal season for tourists who want to
explore more of Zanzibar rather than just lying on the beach for their entire
holiday. The temperature is now around 26
° C which is conducive to sightseeing. The narrow streets of the old part of
the capital (Stone Town) are not yet congested or stuffy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The main summer season begins in Zanzibar
around the 15th July. Most Italian hotels have opened after the spring break.
The Italians for many years are the largest group of tourists. Local kids at
the sight of a white people cry out happily, "ciao!" and local vendors
to encourage people to buy their goods " guardando non costa niente"-"looking
is free!" <o:p></o:p></span></div>

South-East of the island, in Paje. In
Kiwengwa you can begin to see the first kites of the season. Favourable winds
will blow until September and then only from December to March.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Owing to
the nature of the substrate - coral origin rock, digging the foundations is a very hard work. Workers using the hammer

fragments are used to build the foundations of the bungalow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The workers
work in flip flops, and some even barefoot! It's amazing, considering that the base surface is
uneven, rough, with protruding roots. And the used tools are sharp and dangerous. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">An
additional difficulty is the fact that just lasts <b><i>Ramadan</i></b>, <i><b>the 9th month of the Islamic calendar. During the
month of Ramadan from dawn to dusk Muslim above 10 years of age are not
permitted to consume any foods, drink any beverages, smoke, use of cosmetics, have
sex. At this time you must not lie to Allah, the Prophet and his alternates. A
lot of the time you spend praying. The last meal before the next day of fasting
Muslims eat before dawn. From the moment when they hear the call to morning
prayer of Fajr, they refrain from
further food and drink. Until dusk.<o:p></o:p></b></i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Zanzibar is an island in the Indian Ocean, just
40 km from the coast of Africa. It is the largest island of the Zanzibar
Archipelago, which consists of Unguja (Zanzibar), Mafia and Pemba. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The Island of Zanzibar belongs to the
United Republic of Tanzania and is a part of its autonomy - Zanzibar.
It has an area of 1 658 square km. Its length is 90 km and the width is 30 km. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Zanzibar is located in the southern hemisphere,
6 degrees south latitude. For Europeans and North Americans it may be
surprising that the most sunny windows
are those from the North ;-)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
