Episode synopsis
David journeys off the beaten path in Zanzibar to the small fishing village of Jambiani, where the motto is “Pole-Pole” or “Slowly-slowly," and the people are warm and inviting. He spends the day with an Italian hotel owner who loved the island so much she made it her home 8 years ago. During his stay on the island, he witnesses the daily life of the locals, from seaweed harvesting in the vast shallow waters at low-tide, to spear fishing for fresh octopus, to grilling fresh seafood right on the beach.
