Journey To Africa As Seen By An Eight Year Old

My journey through life has seen so much far have I traveled and much I have done seen so many things that most others never do the rock of Gibraltar, with teems of scary monkeys traveling out we sailed through the Suez canal wondrous mysteries that delighted an eight year old camels striding along, enormous crocs floating by the land so close you want to touch it and run on it Zanzibar our next port of call, ram shackled boats galore the heady scents of spices abounds teasing the nostrils the vivid different colors everywhere flood my senses on to our destination Dar-es-Salaam harbor most picturesque a miss mash of ships some luxury most tramp ships or boats sails of all colors, dark people unloading trunks from the holds this was a time taken out of time, a way of life quite relaxed just think of the things ahead, the adventures that awaited me written 08/08/2013 contest Your Journey in 1958 the Suez canal was open later it got blocked by sunk ships
