The Spice Farm Tour
Pineapples only yield one fruit per plant.
This is ... nutmeg, The spice is from grinding and drying the red nut.
Here is nutmeg on the tree.
Green. From a bush. Fresh pepper. It was very spicy!
Ahhh. Coffee. Arabica beans.
Zanzibar rambutan or "Lip stick" fruit.
Also great for facepainting.
Cloves. Even the green buds are lip-burning spicy.
What is a jungle without a few snails?
Tumeric is from a root.
One of the guides wove rings, bracelets, etc from banana leaves as we walked.
At the end Mr. Butterfly climbed way up a coconut tree and sang the original Hakuna Matata song This Link! This is Matt, the physics major on the trip trying. None of the people who tried made it very far up!
Banana leaf accessorized.
We got caught in pouring rain for about 30 minutes. We ducked inside a schoolhouse with just one family inside. Here is Killian (with his face painted) teach a boy to be a photographer.
At the end of the three hour tour, we were all ready for the beach.
Hmm. Must be what Tanzanians think we make from our American Gardens. BTW, several of our group liked the chili flavor ketchup.
The beautiful view from our afternoon and evening at the beach resort. We were the only guests.
Good bye, Tembo!
