Yesterday I went on a spice tour in the middle of Zanzibar. Along with 10 other people (from Holland, Belgium, Germany, and the U.S.) I was shown many different spices and how they grow. We were also shown many different fruits that grow on the island and were given a chance to taste all of them (amazing for the most part). After a nice local meal, we set off to see a cave where slaves were kept by Arabs after the British abolished the slave trade in 1873. From there we took a short walk to a beach where we got to relax in the water for about an hour.
This tour was not as exciting as the one I did the day before, but it was still interesting and very relaxing.
Here are some pictures from the day: 1) nutmeg, 2) Jackfruit, 3) cardamon, 4) one of our guides with natural dye from one of the plants, 5) a pineapple, 6) vanilla, 7) an old bath house, 8) one of our guides climbing up a tree to get coconuts, 9) our delicious lunch, 10) the slave cave and 11) the beach.
