5am and wailing started. Nudged Carolyn and it stopped but 1 minute later it was even louder from a close by mosque. 9:00am drive to Spice Plantation.
This was really great. Unlike most commercial places where there are set areas for each spice this was like someone’s back yard and plants here there and everywhere and shared with fruit trees. Cinnamon, turmeric, lemongrass, coffee, ginger allspice and a number of other thing I had never heard off. They pumped us with all sorts of fruit before we left.
For dinner a place over the beach called Mercury Bar. Pictures of Freddy Mercury over all walls. The local boy who made it big time.
Just ordered dinner and power out over all Zanzibar. Must happen a lot as everyone knew where to reach for a torch. Stiff we had a kero hurricane lamp on the table and I could still see my red wine.
