Upon arriving in Zanzibar, a picturesque island known for its vast white sand beaches and its cultural melting-pot of African and Arabic culture, David is enchanted by the local people and their laid-back way of life. He meets a young business owner who builds houseboats and is gaining success in the tourism industry. Together they have fun cooking fresh local seafood for friends right on the boat. Later, David tours the winding streets and colourful markets of Stone Town with a couple of musicians and learns about the struggles of being a creative Muslim woman in this patriarchal society.
