We left the beach in the morning to return to Tanzania. But first we stopped by a Spice farm for a spice tour. As we saw the different fruit and nut trees, the young men made necklaces, rings, bracelets and handbags from large leaves and reeds. We also had a demonstration of coconut tree climbing. The lunch was a delicious mixture of curries made with the fresh spices. 

We had only a quick tour of Stone City with its many winding alleys. There was a mosque and church side by side and the powerful monument to the slaves who were brought here.

Quite a few got sick on the ferry ride back but I made it back surprisingly energized. I still had to do some school lesson plans before I could sleep.
