Much of what you see in Stonetown is but a shadow of the faded glory of the past when the slave and spice trade was king. However, the city still has its charms and a vibrant atmosphere. To spend a day wandering the streets and small alley ways of the old part of Stonetown is, it seems, one way to transport yourself back in time. You never know what you might find in one of the many bazaars, crafts shops or antique shops. When the sun is beating down in the afternoon you can retreat to the cool of the sidestreets and enjoy a refreshing drink or some traditional meal in a cafĂ© or restaurant. A mystery awaits, for you never know what you´ll find around the next corner. And don´t worry about getting lost, because you will. Everbody does. Just keep exploring and eventually you´ll emerge into the bright sunshine.
