Not only did I manage to send some pretty cool postcards from Zanzibar, I also got an overdue lesson in geography.
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region and politically a part of Tanzania. It's not a city or even an island, but an archipelago comprising two main islands, Pemba and Unguja. The nominal capital, Stone Town, is located on Unguja and UNESCO World Heritage-listed thanks to its historic centre.
As is often the case in these unusual places, stamps and postcards can be a challenge, but thanks to my guides and some patient folks in the post office, the mission was accomplished.
