Streets of Stone Town




 If you come to Stone Town, you will get lost. You will find a shopkeeper who speaks English. He will want to be helpful, but his directions may or may not be correct. You will not have a map that indicates the names of the lanes: it seems that only the storekeepers know some of them. Eventually you will see a landmark, or the water--- something that you will show you that you have been going the opposite direction from where you intended to be. You will decide that it was all worthwhile.
