Today we had planned for a trip, for purpose of study, to "Prison Island". It's a small island just outside of Stone Town. On this island there was a sort of zoo with only giant tortoises. One of the oldest was 175 years old. We stayed on the island for several hours and ate lunch we had with us.
The island has a longer history and it's purpose has been changed numerous times. It's first purpose was to be used as confinement for refractory slaves. After this a prison was built in 1893, which still stands and thereof it's nickname Prison Island. It has also been used as a hospital for mortal and infectious diseases.
As a completion of the week we were invited to a traditional Zanzibar dinner. The project group of Zanzibar had cooked it. The dinner consisted of many different types of food and to name a few.. squid, ugali, bread, fruit, fish, and pasties. We had a very nice evening together.
