From Nungwi beach bungalows after 3 nights to the Hotel Safari Lodge in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site an hour up the coast. Its main claim to fame is that it was the last bastion of slave trading. It is also both the chief town of the island and the exit ferry port back to Dar, due for Day 11.
The word labyrinthine was invented for Stone Town. The group, minus Ken, struck down by too much midday heat the previous day, took on a 3-hour walking tour. It is a certain fact that we would have been utterly lost after ten minutes, had the guide not had built-in GPS for twisting back streets going nowhere in particular. The one highspot that we all tried to commit to memory was Lukmaan Restaurant, an eaterie that had been recommended by Trevor & Jennie's son. And yes, we did find our way back again later, to find that it was indeed all it had been cracked up to be. Fabulous value and wonderful quality. Best discovery of the trip thus far? Probably.
