Before sunset the local boys meet at the beach to compete against each other in the fine art of gymnastic tricks and sand kissing followed by a dip in the water.

at the food market


Every day Stone Town has a seafood market that opens in the evening and goes on until late night. An excessive scenery of fish, shellfish and vegetables prepared on glittering yellow to red hot charcoal wrapped in a thick smoke, solely with the vague lights from the shops as way points for the tourists with the unmistakable "what am I eating?" expression in their faces.
