Zanzibar - Stone Town



The first part of our trip to Zanzibar has seen us spending 3 days in the historic Stone Town wondering through its narrow streets and alley ways. The old town has glimpses of its portugese, arabic, british and slave trading past all of it supposedly captured in its doors - we have tried to capture it in some photos but I think our building photography still needs a bit more work.



 

Zanzibar is also known as the spice islands and you can get any spice imagineable at the local markets. Might even be enough to lure me into the kitchen - who am I kidding but I might luck upon having another personal chief who will do them justice.
 
We have definately used our time well to recover from some long days travelling by shopping, eating and drinking cocktails whilst watching the sun set. So far Zanzibar has well and truely lived up to all expectations !!!
