This was our last day in Stone Town so we got out early, walked around town and had breakfast at the Stone Town Cafe. We tried to visit the museum but it was closed ~ so we walked around to visit cathedral ~ it was also closed ~ we were striking out ~ we decided there was a message here ~ no museums for you today ~
so we looked around at the sights and shops.
The mosque loud speakers that we hear all day ~ it's amazing how immune we have become
Everywhere the doors ~
We finally found a door with the "slave chain" ~
Inside the old fort ~
The amphitheater inside the old fort ~
The alley of shops ~
Dana found a painting she loved but it was too large ~ the artist offered to paint her a smaller one so we stopped back to see how it was coming ~ it's amazing how he could do it so quickly ~ it took several hours but still ~ not showing you ~ you'll have to visit her to see it!
It was another sweltering hot day ~ but we found a new restaurant ~ Travelers cafe ~ and had a cold drink ~ that may not sound like a great feat but you have to remember #1 we can't have ice made with local water, #2 there are often power outages so no refrigeration ~
It's even great to have cold water because the water we carry around during the day becomes actually hot in the bottle.
It was beautiful here so we stayed to watch the sun set and have dinner ~
They have to put a net up along the railing so a stray soccer ball (from the nightly beach soccer games) doesn't hit the patrons ~
