Eventful day.....
Got taxi with 12 year old driver. Bags were taken and runnning out of the boot as soon as the taxi stopped at the dock. 
Thrown on a (cattle) ship for 5 hours.

Arrived Zanzibar. Passport stamped and a guy helped us find a hostel. 
Bargained price down to €8 a night.
Met 3 other girls, 2 English and 1 Irish who showed us the night market. Great food, so cheap.
Sweet Easy for drinks. 
Home to our room with a curtain for a toilet door and straight to bed. 

As believed in 2004, we were indeed in a container ship. The Shipping Corporation of Zanzibar is still in existence however I really don't know how we ended up with tickets for the crossing. We did find it suspicious that there were no seats and we couldn't go out on deck!
Our highlight of all of Tanzania was the night market in Stone Town Zanzibar. I really hope on my return this summer, that the night markets will be as special as I remember. 
I cannot seem to find any mention of the Florida Inn on Trip Adviser or any site online. The curtain divided en-suite must not have taken off!

We ate in the night market every night we were in Stone Town.  You chose your food, bargained down the cost of your plate and then when price was agreed your food was barbecued while you waited. We ate everything and were never sick-maybe the Coca Cola helped!
