Africa Day 15: Zanzibar

August 30, 2011

Today we left the hustle and bustle of Stone Town, and travelled north-east to a spice farm. We spent quite a long time on a guided exploration of the farm (we had the same local guide as our Stone Town city tour yesterday, so he was getting used to the crazy photographers stopping all the time to take photos!). By lunch time we'd arrived at Blue Bay Resort on the east coast of the island, our home for the next two days. Sprawled along the beach, and quite luxurious compared to some of the places we've stayed in, it will provide us a nice environment to relax and continue working on our images, putting off the eventual return to every-day life.

Having been treated to tours of actual Samburu and Maasai villages in Kenya, it was interesting to see the pool-side Maasai dances put on for the tourists after dinner!
