Lunch Break

Our lunch during our spice tour. Ryan, Jord, Jas, me, Georgina (Jord's mom) and Maurice (Georgina's husband).

Cooks Hut

Pyramid

With nothing to do at the beach, a human pyramid seemed in order.

Underground Slave Chamber

One of the underground slave chambers on Zanzibar Island, Zanzibar was a major slave trading port a while back.

Protecting the Indian Ocean

One of the rules travelling with Jord, Jas and Ryan is that you must protect all the oceans. This is us protecting the Indian Ocean off the coast of Zanzibar.

Nut Shot

Another rule, that I wasn't familiar with, is that every newcomer in the group must also get a nut shot from all the other members. Jas is actually pushing me forward into the shot.

Just so you have an idea of a where abouts I am right now.

Prison Island Pool

The inmates couldn't have had it to hard with this pool overlooking the Zanzibar mainland. This pool is part of the restaurant and hotel that is currently being built on the island. Also to note, the prison was built by the British but was never actually used.
