ZANZIBAR PHOTO BONUS

We're traveling today but since we love all things Zanzibar here are a few photos that didn't make it into any updates while we were there:

Kip and our new Aussie friend Dougie introduced frisbee to this group of Masai warriors who were on break from their jobs guarding a nearby hotel.

Life's tough...but not today. Yes, we braved another boat trip, but this one was fully-stocked with grilled fish, cold beer, and two motors, both of which worked. 

Zanzibar's beaches...hard to beat.

A local man transports sailfish on his bike to the Stonetown market five miles away.

A Masai welcomes us to The Rock, a famous restaurant atop a tiny outcropping of coral a few feet from the beach.

Liz enjoys the vino and the view at The Rock.

BORNEO NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE

We took these photos in a small Chinatown food stall in downtown Kota Kinabalu, Borneo. The man with the rag on his shoulders had just served us an incredibly tasty pork bbq sandwich.

First of all, pork is incredibly hard to come by in Malaysia, a majority Muslim country, so this alone was amazing. 

But then, our waiter moved a few items off a shelf next to the crock pot, including a rice cooker and some knives, and began to play...the piano. And he was AMAZING. Our jaws literally dropped to the floor. He played a beautiful medley for about five minutes, and then got up to clear our plates. 

Turns out, every evening he plays piano at one of the nicest hotels in the city. The restaurant gig is just his day job. 

We felt so lucky to see him play. Kip even left a tip, so he must have made an impression.
