The internet is sooooooo slow here, but the weather and scenery make up for it. It has been very hot during the last few days, sensibly we have been moving around pretty slowly ourselves, trying to keep to the shade.

Last night we went into Stone Town and actually had a meal that I can describe as superb, it was in a curry house and amazingly the service was exceptional, just like being in Thailand or maybe at home, but of course, a hefty bill reflected it!

Today we took a trip to a spice farm and sampled all the spices available. For part of the visit, we got dressed up (looked rather silly), but we had a thoroughly nice time and are looking forward to tomorrow when we shall meet Charlotte, Suraj and little Lucas at the airport before they transfer to their rather grander hotel located in the north of the island.
