Exploring Zanzibar at its Fullest With
Maru Maru Hospitality
On the historic island of Zanzibar, amidst the quaint, narrow alleys of Stone Town is Maru Maru Hotel, once a townhouse now boasts 51 well laid rooms.
Upon arrival, we were greeted at the airport by a friendly driver and refreshed with a cool, scented towel to mark the beginning of a wonderful holiday. The hotel reception is welcoming with aquamarine walls and eye-catching paintings.
Maru Maru Hotel constitutes of two wings – the Classic Wing with 11 rooms, which have undergone restoration, and the New Wing with 33 modern rooms built around a small courtyard with a star shaped fountain. The courtyard is ideal to spend time quietly reading, the noise of the water in fountain a soothing backdrop. On the way to the courtyard there is a coffee shop which also serves freshly baked pastries and cakes just in case you wanted to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea whilst rewinding.
The rooms are well equipped with modern amenities, a comfortable bed in Zanzibari style, swathed in mosquito net, which is not only essential but also creates a romantic atmosphere with the stained glass shades. Bathrooms are clean and complete with fresh towels and complimentary toiletries. The water available in the Bathrooms is freshly desalinated in the hotel’s own Reverse Osmosis desalination plant which ensures that the salinity level of the water is negligible.
An elevator connects both wings to the rooftop terrace, which is a delightful place to be, largely because of the stunning view of the ocean, so you can witness the gentle traffic of dhows, a vista that’s barely changed in generations.
Climbing the flight of wooden stairs leading to the terrace restaurant and reflecting on the hotel’s personality, it’s evident why Maru Maru has been the preferred property for eminent personalities like Bill Clinton and daughter, Chelsea. And it wasn’t just the atmosphere that struck me, the scent of the place did too: the hotel smells wonderful as day-long diffusers burn perfumed essential oils.
Maru Maru serves a delightful variety of cuisines especially Continental and Asian – quality is great and portions generous. I especially loved the way an array of sauces was offered which you could blend with the main ingredient – poultry, meat, seafood or vegetables.
All the staff right - from the General Manager, receptionist, chefs –lead and supporting roles were super friendly and helpful. Services and requests were promptly addressed.
So if you’re after an affordable Stone Town break – Maru Maru is a great option and delivers the perfect launch pad from where to explore this historic little place.

Mi Tenjo querido, cortas son las palabras para definir todo lo que tú me haces sentir desde el día en que te conocí, sólo sé que has sido fiel testigo de mis momentos más alegres y maravillosos como también de aquellos en los que he estado más herida. Para mí es un placer total compartir con tus gentes y caminar bajo tu sombra de la mano de Jesús, un camino que necesariamente, para se cristiano, tiene que tener grietas, bajadas y subidas. Nadie ha dicho que ha sido facil, pero de tu mano y de la mano de nuestro Señor Jesucristo puedo sentirte como ese lugar tan bonito que vino a recibirme hace siete años, que son pocos para resumir el amor en una eternidad, pero son suficientes para dictaminar que me he enamorado de ti, mi Tenjo querido.

so, its pretty rough and by far not complete but this is a rough layout for the map of destiny (my zelda fancomic), i mainly took it after skyward sword but added parts of botw into it (like lanayru street, the twin mountains that were one mountain until ch3, the gerudo highlands, akkala ref; among more general map overlap)
this ones with some super rough chapter markers and some descriptions, the circle doesnt mean the chapter doesnt go to multiple places but the main happening of it is there, its again, pretty rough and lacks the correct order yet too, ill prob add that with time as i write out the scripts for the next chapters, so far i got the order until chapter 6 (chapter 4 is mostly at hylias temple and since there are alot of chapters happening there its not marked seperately)
chapter 1: demon (complete)
chapter 2: a dance of ice and fire (script done)
chapter 3: moving mountains (name not final)
chapter 4: starry night
chapter 5: a wound for a wound (placeholder name)
chapter 6: curiosity (possibly placeholder name, forgot to mark it on the map even tho i know where it goes)
most other chapters i know where and whats happening but i cant remember the exact order, i gotta make a structured chapter chart soon so i dont have to think over everything every single time i need the order
this is probably not very interesting but, even tho it is just a rough layout more for myself than anything else, i thought id share anyway, i know my handwriting when i write fast and tired is hard to read but uh .. feel free to send me an ask about it if theres anything youd like to know (do mention if you are ok with spoilers for the story)
