We were driven from the port & then walked round an uninspiring market and then to the Slave Market, which had a good historical explanation inside it

Then we stopped at a pleasntly positioned pier cafe for a cold drink. After this we wandered off by ourselves, but were unable to recreate the Zanzibar of 1971

The old doors and their wondrous knockers have almost disappeared. We felt it was now just another tourist town

The House of Wonders collapsed partially a few years ago!

Despues de esta visita tan tranquila. el dia proximo- el 29 de diciembre- pasamos 4 horas en Zanzibar: no habia una guia buena y la ciudad de hace 48 anos no existia!. No habia tantas puertas magnificas con sus llamadores individuales. Entramos en un museo, un antiguo palacio, y vimos la 'House of Wonders' desde su exterior. Paramos para refrescos en un cafe al lado del mar. El paseo de regreso hasta el barco era dificil para mi.

Onto Assumption Island
