Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania
After checking in to my room, I decided to take a short walk around Stone Town.

After an hour or two, I returned to the hotel for some dinner and went to bed early. Dinner was ok, with dessert the best course by far.

The next morning, I got up early and had breakfast at the buffet. PH runs a pretty good buffet here. The stand out items are really the fruit. The passionfruit were particularly good. Definitely among the best I've had. Superior to the Rwanda passionfruits, which were a bit less sweet and more astringent.

It was still quite early, but I went for a walk around the town. The fort wasn't open yet, but I walked to the fort then onward to the ferry terminal. From there, I went right and headed to the main market on the edge of Stone Town. Then eventually headed back toward the waterfront area and visited the fort.

After seeing the fort interior, I headed back to the hotel to relax by the hotel and go swimming in the ocean.

After showering off the salt, I packed up and had lunch at the hotel restaurant.

I ordered the Urojo Soup and it was fantastic. By far the best meal I'd had to that point and one of the best meals of the trip.

After lunch, I checked out and grabbed a taxi back to the airport for my onward flight to Dar.
