What is more important than internet?

Now we get to pose a most interesting question, one that has made me surprisingly happy to be honest, and will also make this post surprisingly brief.
I said i hated uncertainty when ruled by bureaucracy, however this little interjection files me right in line with all of the rest of the inhabitants of this island on which i am now living. And it is not as small as that sentence may lead you to believe.
Ok, backtrack, ..and please also take into account that I am absolutely exhausted as i did not sleep on the flight and have spent the greater part of the day sweating and waiting for the wind to pick up to a kiting level, which it did not. I didn’t recline in case your wondering.

The flights all rolled into one, and finally i found myself in Zanzibar, hot, sweaty, and without it would seem the intended pick up taxi the hotel should have arranged. This of course left me pray to taxi poachers, but as i am alone it was easy to bargain for the right deal, and i ended up pay the same as the transfer would have cost, so no drama there.
I’d better just get to the drama actually, and save the rest of the emotional baggage for later as i am almost too tired to write, and certainly too tired to be interested in what i am writing.

There is no electricity in the whole of Zanzibar, …none, except to those that have diesel generators, …which as you may remember mine got left behind as surplus luggage in heathrow.

There hasn’t been for over three weeks! They don’t know when it will be back on.

Stop and think about everything that requires electricity to run, ..including the pumps to pump the diesel to put in your generators.

Wireless modems probably come a long way down that list, as does my phone and laptop.

So if you are reading this anytime near the date it was written, well then the walk i am about to take down the beach looking for a diesel powered bar i have heard of was a success, ..if not, ..well then your not really reading this now are you!

I’m going to have a beer and fall over into my bed. Which is amazing by the way, ..you’ll just have to wait to hear about it properly.
