The day begins with breakfast and a serene view over the Indian Ocean to the endless horizon.

The marketplace is alive with vendors who hawk their exotic wares in a multitude of languages, as well as the intense palette of colours in their fabrics and trinkets for sale. As we move away from the raucous market, the winding streets grow serene and mysterious, with whitewashed houses, ornately carved wooden doors, and balconies studded with brass. We visit the Zanzibar Museum and the Old Fort.
