Kendwa, Zanzibar




A dalla dalla is the best local transit. I bought a shuttle ride to and from town, but missed the return departure time while fabric shopping, so I hopped onto a dalla dalla with 26 others and enjoyed the grassroots ride home.


After buying some fabric in the market, à woman merchant took 500 shillings for a picture of only her baby. One is not to shoot a direct picture of any one Muslim. Babies are exempt, I guess! This long marking stays for two years. It is an Indian custom.


Back at the resort was the best place to display the wares,


and eat the fruit (remember it's Ramadan, so no eating in open places. Restaurants are closed and the only food around are the preparations people make for the sunset mean and the big celebration that ends Ramadan in about 7 days.

I'm ready for home. Thank you, all, for following the journey!
