Day 2

Waking up to a beautiful ocean view was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Plus it was my first. I remember going live on Instagram that morning, of course I needed to share the beautiful view.

My agenda for the day was to go tour Stone Town. So after breakfast, I saw the movie “Naked” on Netflix and before noon our designated driver arrived and took my partner and I to Stone Town. We were introduced to Mohammed-our tour guide when we arrived, settled on the fee for the tour and we decided to have lunch before touring the town. That was the best quick decision ever!

Now I cannot remember all that Mohammed said, but I took quite a lot of photos. LOL. He said so many things about the ancient city. Number one – Stone town, located on the western coast of Unguja is a major tourist attraction in Tanzania. It is a city of prominent historical and artistic importance in East Africa. I remember he mentioned that Stone town is also known as Old town because it is the old part of the city as well as the main city in Zanzibar.  And then he mentioned something about slave trade. But I hardly paid any attention. I was too busy taking photographs of the old city. Oh he also said something about “Tangayika” and “Zanzibar” coming together to form “United republic of Tanzania”. That’s the much I can remember right now. Don’t blame me, a lot of things got me carried away. Meanwhile, my partner took time to listen to Mohammed and even asked a few questions. But for me, I needed the tour guide so that we don’t get lost in the city. So enjoy viewing these images with little or no caption to back them up.
