Been counting down to this a long time! And now we’re off. Lift to Heathrow, Tracy’s Taxis of course. Traditional beer and fizz for the travellers

Fly to Doha, two hours then to Zanzibar, 15 hours. Comfy though and lots of films.

About an hour transfer and we arrive at The Residence.

Amazing cabin! Own swimming pool and view of the Indian Ocean…from the balcony…and the bed!
