Beware The Popo Bawa!

Best to sleep with one eye open if going to Zanzibar. I do feel a little unworthy given that the Popo Bawa never even bothered with me! ;)

Thanks Rocco.

But that sounds like an Urban Legend to me! Though gigantic penis with bat wings sounds rather interesting (Leely, there I am with my "interesting") or should I say exotic! This was my laugh for the day.

Interesting, yes.

I think this is what Freud would have called wish fulfillment.

Well, Rocco, now I'm very glad that we were unable to work Zanzibar into our itinerary. I'd hate to have to make Richard sleep outside on his back - that's no way to spend a vacation :D

When do you head to the airport? Oops...I'm hijacking.

Yikes! Odors, elections, men and women, but mostly men? This Popo Bawa business is fraught with so many psychological angles the mind reels! Though I must say feeling, hmmm, violated after an election is not just a Zanzibar phenomenon!

I guess it’s not enough that we have to worry about getting caught with 25 lbs of cameras in our carryon, or losing our passports, or being bitten by a malaria mosquito, or not having enough cash, or snakes and spiders but now we need to worry about the Popo Bawa!

I think you'll be safe if you have a Yellow Fever certificate ;)
