Getting Around Pemba Island

Cheap overnight boat from Stone Town, Zanzibar Island. Book in advance, but beware of the touts who congregate around the port area - You don't need their help to get a ticket, just go to the ticket office for the overnight passenger and cargo boat (big white South African boat. Sorry, i don't remember its name). Take your passport with you when booking. There may be some faster boats in the daytime, but think of the money you save in accommodation for a night! Not to mention time. It's quite a trip really. I remember looking out of a window on waking and seeing a Dhow sailing boat go past, lit by a single lightbulb. There is about an hour or two of very rough sea which made a child who was sleeping on the floor near me roll from side to side!
