Zanzibar

Zanzibar

The island off the coast of Tanzania. There are a few other islands. Pemba is one of them. The island has a rich history.
Once owned by the Sultan of Oman where spices grow naturally. A rest house is located north of Stone Town where he rested with much of what a man loves. It architecture is amazing. White buildings nestled in small alleys. Music fills the ears. A travelers paradise. If you head to the north you get Serene beaches with warm water. Visiting Turtle Island is a must. Turtles grow really big here. One can get the chance to feed them. A turtle I fed was 180 years old. What an appetite he had.
Spices galore. Fresh Lemon grass, Cinnamon bark, Vanilla bean and coffee beans. There is alot more I just can't remember them all. Our drive to the spice farm was in a small minivan bus. At one piont we had to get out to push start the van. Great experiance.
