We spent yesterday in Stonetown which is a Unesco Heritage site. The morning walking tour was very interesting. We were having trouble staying focused because we're trying to acclimatize to the high humidity and heat, but it was worth it. The slave trade for east Africa was conducted from the slave market in Stonetown. It was rather sobering to visit the holding cells where the slaves were kept until auction day. We also visited the markets and got a whole new perspective on fresh meat!
Had a spice tour this morning and learned a lot about how different spices are grown and how they taste in the various stages of growth. We were only mediocre at identifying the various tastes and smells but had fun guessing. Arrived at our beach resort this aft to find the Indian Ocean on our doorstep. It doesn't get any better than that!
Can't figure out how to attach a picture. Will send a couple separately if you want to add them to the blog.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting few days in Zanzibar.
See you in 5 more sleeps. Many excited folks (& pets) awaiting your return!
