Food stalls in Stone Town
Each evening, the locals came out and set up stalls in the sea front park, the food was amazing, lobster, mussels, kingfish, snapper, samosas, fish cakes and much much more, all with fantastic spices.
Spice Tour 1
The most classic tour on zanzibar is the spice tour. We saw how cardomons, vanilla, ginger, cloves etc.. are farmed
Spice Tour 2
On the tour, the locals weaved baskets, rings, necklaces for us as we walked. I ended up with a man bag, a particularly smart ties and pair of glasses!! Giorgio Armani eat your heart out!
Stonetown
The streets of stonetown are very narrow, and are a complete maze, easy to get lost in.
Slaves - Stonetown
Stonetown was a slave trading centre. This monument depicts the slaves being sold at market.
Anglican Church
This anglican church was built on the site of a former slave market. The altar sits where the whipping post used to be. A circle on the floor in front of the altar locates the exact spot.
Persian Baths
These were old public baths in the centre of stone town. Very plush.
Ben and Claire
We stayed with Ben and Claire in Arusha. They currently live on a missions base run by Ben's parents.
