Having throwing a small tantrum whilst unsuccessfully trying to locate a certain document on my computer (it’s VAT returns time of the year… aaaargh…), I decided that a clear out of my files was long overdue. So after 2 long days at it, I’ve made it to my pictures folder which contains no less than 3100 photos! Before embarking on the depressing task of sorting them out (I feel like Monica in Friends), I thought I’d reminisce a bit and post some of the lovely photos we took of the lounge/bar area in the hotel we stayed at in Zanzibar last year – Breezes Beach Club & Spa.

Although the whole hotel is really quite stunning and beautifully decorated, I especially liked the truly Arabian effect of the fuchsia and purple cushions, the dark wood furniture and the gold lanterns in this room. It’s obvious that the owners have a passion and flair for design so it’s no surprise to find out that they also own a very successful home accessories shop in Nairobi called Palacina Interiors.

In fact, the hotel shop stocked lots of their products so if you happen to be staying there, make sure you check it out, although admittedly it is really really expensive, even by UK standards…
