Heheβ¦.heheβ¦.heheβ¦. itβs my nerves and bones laughing at me, for putting them through this distress of a walk.
Tell you whatβ¦..I got lost on my way, on this walk of mineβ¦.but not before visiting one of my favourite spots in Tanzaniaβ¦.the Coco beach
I picked myself a jaj to the Coco beachβ¦funny thing is that, I hadnβt forgotten the name of the beach but I knew where it was exactly because Iβve been there 2 times before this time. My rider was kind enough, as many Tanzanians areβ¦.you have to speak one before you pass onβ¦.they speak so softly but mean every inch of the word that comes outta their mouth.
We asked around from a cab driver, for the exact location of my βCoco beachβ gwa and he directed my guy where it was and also, βgood alternativesβ in case I didnβt like this one. With huge smiles on us, we went on our journey.
I got there and kaboomβ¦.. my sweet Coco was all thereβ¦.quiet, peaceful, enormous, with the waters spread further into the deep blueβ¦.giving me some kilometres of walking spaceβ¦.(yeah, you read that right).
Little did I recall that I was in spider-territory on the white-washed sand and waste deposits on the beachβ¦.a tiny spider nearly got a number on me, this time? I survived again.
I walked further, deep water and got to a point thatβs literally green, to best put it. I just had to snap this beauty for the world to see and possibly appreciate. What do you think of this beauty?
I donβt know if I should call this place leafy or just any other place on this beachβ¦. It was isolated and by that, I mean, it was the only area I saw that was this leafy, which left me wondering if this is just something on a one-off basis or permanent basis. Β I loved how it looked, never the less.
And yeahβ¦took some few selfies, as well, to indicate my actual presenceβ¦.somebody could say that I was never there, right? And I couldnβt argue my way outta that one.
So, till tomorrow, when I get on with day threeβ¦.sleep well
This is interesting. Great place to be.
Indeed, George. Thank you for appreciating.
Never been to Tanzania, so it was very intersting to see your pics and read your post. Spiders did sound a bit scary!
Oooohhhhhhhhhh….you should come here, some time. You won’t regret it. Hehe, you should have seen me, run for my life….
Never heard about this place. Happy to read. All the best
Aaaaaahhhhhh…now, you do. This place or more of a town, is found in Tanzania, in the capital itself. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
I haven’t been to Tanzania but a friend joined Peace Corps and started teaching. Next year, I’m planning too and wanted to try walking too. =)
Aaaahhhhh….thatβll be nice. I hope you love it like I did! ?β€οΈ
Wow. This was an interesting read! Seems like you had an exciting time in Tanzania. I can’t wait to visit.

I would love to visit Tanzania one day. It looks like such a beautiful place.
ππ it is!
Tanzania sounds like a great place to visit, minus the spiders.
ππ true.
What a neat place to take a walk. The tides look like they go out so far! The exposed sand is so interesting with the patterns and colors.
ππ yyyeeeaaaahhhh…itβs fascinating.
Spiders? No thanks. Keep me far away from the spiders lol.
ππ okay!
What a lovely beach, glad to hear you could have some quiet time to walk and enjoy the sand. The green water is so strange, maybe because of algae??
ππππ yes, itβs because of algae
This is such a beautiful place. I would enjoy a walk in this place

Coco beach in Tanzania sounds very interesting. I donβt think Iβll visit though, because Iβm terrified of spiders.
π©π©π© thatβs too bad!
I’m glad you had a nice time! I’ve never seen a spider on a beach. I’m happy I can say that too!! π
