Slave markets, a robbery and food poisoning (?)
... first time I've been robbed. Not at knifepoint, or even aggressively but still I am reeling. I bought a drink and gave the man ten thousand shillings. He said he was going to get change and never returned. I wouldn't even be able to pick him out without his stupid rasta hat on, so I think I have lost what would equate to five Aussie dollars, roughly.

Day 25-27- Zanzibar
... that the island had to offer. Before we left the women were given frog necklaces and purses and the men hats and ties that were all woven from the leaves of the trees.
