Day 322 – Wednesday 15th December 2010

We planned to get an early start but got sidetracked with breakfast overlooking the city.

We did however get going on our cultural tour and shopping spree, and had great success, not getting lost and finding most of what we wanted. Everything is very small, apart from some of the fish in the market, but it is busy and fun.

However, it was over 36 degrees by 11am and we were exhausted.

We made a detour to the Cathedral, which has a rich and troubled history, to meet up with a friend of a friend from Tabora. The cathedral was built on the former slave market.

After a short break for lunch and little sleep we ventured out into the P1010933streets, exploring the old palaces and markets. Armorel managed to convince me that she needed some henna done too.

This evening we went to watch the sunset, but missed it, and enjoyed the sea view as the darkness roll in instead, and then had a high quality traditional meal.

We are feeling very sad that this holiday, and this adventure are soon but over.
