Day 59 – Jambo, Jambo!

Stone Town, Tembo House Hotel

We spent the day wandering the narrow streets of Stone Town, it is a very Muslim town so no sign of Easter here! However the touts know every trick in the book and tell you they will give you ‘a very special Easter price”. The only other sign of Easter is the amount of tourists with children, many countries have school holidays now so there are a lot of children here.

The old slave market was interesting. As a church was built on the site there’s little to see from the old slaving days, but it was still worth a visit.

Fiji has Bulla Bulla, Spain has Hola, Tanzania has Jambo, Jambo and of course hakuna matata, along with asante for thank you. It’s a shame other African countries don’t teach tourists some of their basic words rather than us always relying on English, then again we are moving out of the more “westernized” countries of southern Africa (with their English and German influences) into places that seem more “traditional”.

We know we're getting a bit slack on keeping the blog updated (we're about a week or so behind)  - put it down to a combination of patchy internet and holiday induced laziness!
