Stone Town







The heart of the island of Zanzibar is the historic district of Stone Town, known for its narrow alleys, beautifully carved doors, aromatic spices, and now filled with small shops geared to the many visiting tourists. We stayed at a nice place near to the harbor called the Abuso Inn. After our busy afternoon and evening on Friday, we followed a nice breakfast on Saturday morning by walking all through Stone Town. We were told that it would be impossible to get lost in the narrow alleyways, because eventually one always finds one’s way to the sea on one side, or Creek Road on the other. Kuno, Mave, Shireen and I spent hours being tourists, snapping pictures and moving from one small shop to another.
