Vibes at Siku Kuu celebration, Kizimkazi Mkunguni, Zanzibar

dancing in the afternoon (on the roof of a boat)
plenty of things to buy
queuing for the disco
selling things that glow in the dark
plenty to eat
all dressed up (and ready to be noticed)
having a flutter

Finally the sardines have arrived, $11 per bucket
