Pemba and the Tumbe homestay

After we got to Pemba, we had breakfast at a hotel in Chake Chake. Afterwards, we went to a spice farm. After the tour, I purchased lemongrass, cloves, cardimum, and vanilla. Afterwards, we had lunch in Wete, and then proceeded to Tumbe. Tumbe is a small muslim village near Wete. Many of the houses in the village were made of mud. When we arrived in Tumbe, we went to the school and got assigned to our homestay families. I was paired with the Imam of the village. He has a motorbike that I got to ride on. His house was made of bricks, I think. In the center of the house there was an open area where they cooked and washed dishes. The bathroom consisted of a hole in the ground. The first night I was there, I travelled to this other village with my homestay father. I ended up having awkward converstations with people that were partially in Swahili and partially in English because I had trouble understanding their swahili. The first day I was there, I went to the beach with a group of people and walked along it with them. In the afternoon, I went to the forest and to a beach resort on the back of my homestay father's motorbike. The forest and the hotel were both pretty cool. On tuesday morning we left Tumbe, and went to the airport to fly back to Zanzibar. The plane that I took was a five seater plane. It kind of reminded me of a van with wings in terms of its size. Luckily, it landed safely back in Zanzibar. When we got there, we waited for one of the two other groups to arrive, and then proceeded to the Garden Lodge hotel where we were staying.
