Stone Town is a fantastic place. I’ve heard a lot of negative things about it, but I really, really enjoyed my time there because it’s so interesting and crazy. It’s almost 100% muslim and the women are completely covered- head scarves and everything. Even the girl children are covered – at a much younger age than I’ve seen. I went to the central market and a women tied a scarf tight around my face and hair, but it fell since I didn’t have a pin. I tried a modified version for the rest of the day. J I spent two days in paradise (Nungwi) before having to head back to Stone Town to do my Emergency First Responder course. There’s a nurse in town that does them.
I met up with Ginger and Matt on Friday (many of you don’t know Ginger- she’s one of Mike and Cliff’s friends and super adorable, fun and cute). I had to wait a couple of days to post this because Ginger wanted to tell people herself, but when she arrived from the monkey forest to our guest house she was engaged!!! Yay! So we spent the weekend celebrating and having fun. They went out that night for a special dinner and I went to my standard Stone Town dinner- the fish market at the water front. It’s so hard to explain. Kebab after kebab of any fish/shellfish you could imagine. Over three nights I had tuna, dorado, marlin, octopus, calamari and lobster. Amazing. J
Ginger, Matt and I went on a spice tour on Saturday and to a fun dinner that night with local musicians playing. We had a bottle of wine to celebrate that night (check out the menu at that place!!) and had an incredible evening. All in all I was super excited to be able to celebrate with the happy couple and crash their first weekend engaged.
