The drive from Anna's to Stone Town was awesome, through coconut plantations where the spices grow amongst the coconut palms. We saw black pepper vines, cinnamon and vanilla trees. We were introduced to the sheli sheli (bread fruit tree) originally from the Seychelles hence the local name Shelisheli. Passion fruit vines, laden banana palms, pawpaw (papaya) trees and fields of mango and guava trees. We drove past rice paddy's and various villages along the way. The people of Zanzibar are happy and friendly and as we got closer to the main city things got crazy and the traffic heavy. Stone Town vegetable and spice market certainly was a smorgasbord for the senses..................
