Is it normal for family to be against you travelling?
I have spoken to many people who have traveled and they have recommended it. I am 21 years of age and want to do it. I am saving money for it, but my family are against it. Is this normal?

Stonetown
Stonetown’s modern history can be traced back to the Sultan of Oman, who shifted his capital to Stonetwn from Muscat in 1832. We did not spend much time in Stonetown, but we did visit the site of the former slave market. A church now stands on the site, built soon after the abolition of slavery, but they kept the underground slave chambers as a memory of the Island’s tragic past. It was eerily dark in the chamber and the shackles used to hold the prisoners are still present. Sadly, a lot of the island’s wealth in the 19th century came from the slave trade. Most of the slaves shipped from east Africa passed through Zanzibar enroute to far away lands.
