香料岛之旅 The Spice Island escape

肯杜瓦村，桑给巴尔，坦桑尼亚

肯杜瓦村位于东非海岸的桑给巴尔群岛，这是坦桑尼亚的一个半自治区。历史上，这个宁静的小村庄在岛上的渔业中扮演着一个不大不小的角色，传统的木船（也被称为单桅帆船）在水面上划出了一道道印记，述说着这段历史。通过当地的单桅帆船制作者，人们可以欣赏到村庄代代相传的手工艺，船只经由工匠的巧手用古老的技术打造而成，代表了这个村庄坚韧的精神。如果深入当地，您还会发现繁茂的香料农场，那里的空气弥漫着肉豆蔻和黑胡椒的香味。在这里，您还能品尝到传统的斯瓦希里菜肴，如特色烤肉、椰子酱烤鱼。当来自海洋和陆地的馈赠与香料融为一体，美味就此诞生。日落时分，篝火闪烁，岛上的人们随着塔拉布音乐（一种融合了非洲、阿拉伯和印度特色的音乐）欢快起舞。这就是桑给巴尔，美食、美景、音乐等各种“生活调味品”都应有尽有。

Kendwa village, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Off the coast of East Africa in the archipelago of Zanzibar is the village of Kendwa. This serene village plays a modest role in the islands' fishing industry, with traditional wooden boats, known as dhows, etching patterns across the waters. The local dhow builders offer a glimpse into an artisanal craft that has sailed through generations. Venture deeper and you'll find lush spice farms where the air tingles with the scent of nutmeg and black pepper. Here, traditional Swahili dishes, including nyama choma, a roasted meat dish, and samaki wa kaupaka, fish with coconut sauce, blend spices with the bounty of the sea and land. As the sun sets, bonfires flicker into life and the island pulses with Taarab, a fusion of African, Arabic, and Indian music. With so much to see, Zanzibar proves that variety really is the spice of life.
