Africa update #5 - Zanzibar
Here we are on Zanzibar island. We're still in Tanzania, but we're spending a few days resting and relaxing at a resort in Zanzibar. We flew in on Wednesday afternoon (June 8) and checked into our Stone Town hotel. We then got a walking tour through the narrow, old streets of Stone Town and saw the decorated doors of houses, the Sultan's home ("the house of wonders") and even the Anglican church built on top of the old slave trading station.
The next day, we had a tour of a spice farm; Zanzibar is famous for its spices, and produces 90% of the world's cloves, for example. We then drove to the East side of the island and our resort, the Karafuu Hotel resort centre; we've got a cottage just behind the beach and we can look out at the Indian Ocean. Ah... the beauty. We're here for another 2 nights, and then on with our travels.
This computer doesn't seem to have any working USB ports, so I'll have to wait to upload more pictures from our trip.
