The most beautiful place on Earth
... on TV! We Said: So to close our time in paradise, here's a few travel tips for coming here: The major islands in Seychelles are: Mahe - The largest and "busiest" of the islands. We didn't see much of it other than the international ...
The Seychelles. Neither tomatoes nor onions.
We wake up late the next day, after an almost sleepless night. Luckily, we have coffee. Debra (like zebra but with a D) told us there is a shop almost next door. We go and explore by noon. Yes, there is a tiny, winy, weny, shop at 2 minutes but: ...
Moving WITHIN the Seychelles
Moving WITHIN the Seychelles We are ready 20 minutes early, Debra (like zebra ...) is 20 minutes late. Dr T finds a little spider, the same as in Cape Tribulation in East Australia (remember girls?) We learn that a motor of one of the diving boats ...
Whose idea was this???
Today the sun is shining when we get up. The boat is full of ... French. If there is something more annoying than Germans, it is the French. And the East bloc. I do not sound very tolerant, do I? The second dive is only Mark. Linda, us and the diving ...
The cranky dive mistress, my friend
Liliane wears a 'Swiss' bikini today. I told her, I mistook her for a Germans the first day, because she wore a German bikini. Her answer: do not say that, I do NOT like the Germans'. I hope my friend Michael can understand I agree with the attitude of ...
Floating tank spotted in the Indian Ocean: twice !
... she books. The bad news for her: no we are not taking her offer for (another) dodgy bungalow on one of the other islands of the Seychelles, but move into a nice resort IN Beau Vallon. Almost next to our dive shop. The car will be delivered at 9 tomorrow ...
Visitors in the Seychelles
... lovely people. I carefully tell people we dove like, half of the world. They can tell that they dove the world. I have the feeling, we did not even hear a little part of the stories, when they leave. Tomorrow, our final day of diving in the ...
Lost day in paradise
... sent the 17th of September. Nothing was received in the Passiewijk: what now? I call Mauritius: we stay over a night between the Seychelles and Madagascar. We called twice, sent a mail and there is no confirmation. I call. It is a public holiday, call ...
Whale shark alert in Mahé
We get pick up by the same cranky girl. Dr T thinks she is a local, I think she is German. She wore a German bikini yesterday! And today she is even our dive master ... . Her name is Liliane. The dive center is to our taste, though, the owner a very ...
And yet another
I am lulled into a relaxed state of consciousness aided by the slow pace of small island atmosphere. I have been too serious lately and decided it's time to revert back to the simple things for a while and remember how it is to do nothing. My airy ...
Southern coast line of Mahé
... , I want to send a package to Belgium. The girls pull out an... old shoe box!!! No way I am sending someone a package from the Seychelles in an old shoe box. But the effort is appreciated. And, yes, I can send it is in any envelope. Then we go on a ...
Sal Sells Seychelles by the Sea Shore
... of the moist sea air and felt the tickle of a single bead of perspiration rolling down the small of my back. The Seychelles are tiny tropical islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean that are so remote, that if you blink you would miss them. Good thing ...
Coco-nutter Races
Light powder granules bleached by the fierce sunbeams. Intermittant breezes push the cottonball clouds through the sky like a tumbleweed skimming across the desert. Except slower. Everything is slower here. The lukewarm sea water graduates from saphire ...
Praslin, Saychelles
Fabulous day! The Saychelles are islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean. They've become very "in" with the in-crowd because they're incredibly beautiful, originally called the Garden of Eden. Our excursion was to another World Heritage site, the 2nd ...
Jul 1-3 : Anse Intendance, LOST and the Boat House
I will start off by mentioned our mutual obsession with the show Lost (if you are reading and have not seen it, go pick up season one). Anyways, we left the US with only a few shows left in the entire series. So since then we have been franticly trying ...
Grisaille et pluie / Grey and rainy
... problème. Les atolls se succèdent sans fin presque. Couleurs, avec une dominante bleue, et formes changeant constamment. Après ça, les seychelles sont décevantes. Je ne sais pas si c'est à cause du temps pluvieux et maussade ou moi qui suis devenu ...
Seychelles Islands
An amazing trip. Ten days relaxing, driving around with a rent car, searching for the most beautiful beaches of the world, going to Praslin and La Digue....! And the population is sooooo kind!!!! I think the pictures are self-explanatory and I don´t ...
Relaxing Day
... taste better than normal eggs. But apparently there is a shortage this year because some greedy people want them all to themselves (Seychelles political drama). We spent the rest of the day hanging out with Auntie and making some yummy chicken ...
Rainy Day
This day started out as a very lazy day of eating/cooking and lying around partly because it was gloomy and wet outside. Then we realized we are in paradise, we need to get out and enjoy it! So when we saw a chance, between rain showers, we took off on ...
The Islands
... year. The economy survives on tourism. The conclusion - its bloody expensive! If you go on the net to book rooms in Seychelles, you immediately realize how expensive it is. A 4-Star Resort starts from Euro 400 per night! The beautiful Villas at Banyan ...
Ile Mahe
... même si les autorités favorise le créole au détriment du français. Veille rancune franco-britannique. Le menu des vacances aux Seychelles est simple : Choisir sa plage (et on a le choix), voir les tortues, les fesses cocos (attention au prix du ...
National Day & Travis’ reunion with Tripod
... they had with lots of cars and intense technology (compared to last time he was here). Travis says each time he visits, Seychelles looses a little of its charm… but he still thinks it is the most beautiful place in the world- and even after ...
Hangin’ with friends!
... café to check our email. Our next thing on the list was to figure out the cheapest way to get to some of the other islands (Praslin and La Digue) because we are planning to spend about a week between the two…so we walked to the harbor and starting ...
Trois Frères (The Three Brothers)
Well, we are getting down to the final days in Seychelles and we have not done much hiking! Which is pretty much all Travis did last time he was here. I think we have just been so tired from our trip that we have taken this time to just relax and slow ...
Beaches, hiking, and riding on La Digue!
The next morning we woke up so refreshed since we went to bed so early. We had a wonderful breakfast (it feels so nice to cook for myself) and sat with our door open and the chickens walking by…I love this place :)! Soon we were up and going, ready ...
Jul 6-8: Burritos, Anse Royale & Auntie’s Pr
On the 6th, we started out the day with Travis studying and me doing a movie marathon and cooking with Auntie. I have learned some great things to cook from her. We relaxed the rest of the day until we made our way down to Nick and Marie-France's house ...
At Sea in the Indian Ocean
A day at Sea, hallelujah! I slept from 10PM until noon, recovering from our big excursion to Amboseli yesterday. Thank goodness for sea days, I guess. I don't think I'm fully recovered from all that happened before we restarted the cruise. We're ...
Welcome to The Seychelles!
... them. The flight went by pretty fast because they showed two movies that took up a lot of the time. We finally arrived in Seychelles around 10pm. When we walked out, our friend Marie-France and her brother were there waiting for us. It was a nice ...
Auntie’s House and Errands
I will start with a bit about Seychelles (pronounced say-shells) since almost no one knows where it is…it is a very small country consisting of a group of small islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of east Africa. Now I know A LOT about it ...
