Packing up my belongings always puts me in a foul mood. But nothing compares to the outrageous expenses I encountered in Zanzibar—talk about daylight robbery! [cry-laugh emoji] First, there was the $50 visa fee upon arrival, which stung. Then came the real kicker: a mysterious “BX fee” of $44 with zero explanation—what exactly am I paying for? [dog emoji]
I’d read numerous travel guides mentioning this charge, all suggesting it was optional. Imagine my shock when I stepped off the plane to find officials blocking the entrance with payment tables—no cash, no entry. No warnings, no alternatives. [wave emoji]
The island itself was breathtaking, but the constant hassle from aggressive vendors and inflated tourist prices quickly wore me down. Every corner brought another “special price just for you” scam. [dog emoji] If you’re visiting, keep your guard up and your wallet guarded—this paradise comes with a side of predatory pricing. [dog emoji][dog emoji]
