David has decided to join up with Nick and Christine, fellow overland bikers from Durban. They want to hire Vespasian scooters and go around the island. I on the other hand have decided to do a spice tour. We get picked up at the hostel and get taken by minibus to a farm about 15 km out of town. There are about 25 of us in total, mostly young students. The spice tour is stunning, and I learn a lot about things and where they come from. Like, I did not know vanilla is in fact a bean. We also get to see coffee, coco, nutmeg, lemon grass, Ginger, cinnamon etc.
After a simple, local lunch, we are taken to a local beach. Really lovely, except for the large quantities of garbage. Such a shame! Also get the opportunity to meet some lovely people from Norway, china and Switzerland.
Our final dinner, is spent in the open food stalls. Third time round, we know which stalls to vist, and which to avoid. After eating and drinking too much sugarcane we eventually make it back to Jumbo Guest House.
