Spicey Tour


We decided to spend our first full day in historic Stone Town doing the Spice Tour. Zanzibar was and is still known for its export of such spices as cloves and vanilla. Yum! The spice tour was definitely worth the money, and lots less traumatic than the dolphin tour. We walked through gorgeous rainforest and spice plantations as our guide talked about each of the different spices and medicinal plants and allowed us to sample each of them. This is all very much up Jake's ally, and kept myself entertained by adorning Jake and I with palm frond art given to us by local artisans.  Finished up the day eating Italian at a little corner restaurant, although Jake is now starting to run a fever and not feeling so well. Fingers crossed its not Malaria (for the 3rd time)!
 (look closely to see Jake's lovely Tumeric stained teeth!)
