Christelle
Så jag åker tillbaks till Mahe igen några dagar. Att träffa Christelle igen är främsta orsaken. Hon har en underbart mjuk röst som jag inte kan få nog av. Jag gillar andra företräden hos henne också, även om hon är något av en ...
Bounty
Jag checkade ut och tog farväl av Rosemary och hennes son Herbert. Herbert följde mig till färjan och hjälpte med bagaget. Färjan till La Digue avgick tio och tog bara en halvtimme. Jag pratade med några tyskor under överfarten, på tyska så ...
Look out for the crabs!
... picnic (cheese and tomato sandwiches and spicy nuts) then went snorkelling and a little bit of rock climbing. I feel that in a way Seychelles has ruined beach holidays for us as there probably aren't many beaches better than this! Last night we went to ...
Far Cry
Allting klaffade som ett schweitziskt urverk fram till Immigrations på Mahe. Alla flyg gick och kom fram precis enligt klockan. Inget askmoln, och inget bagage förlorat. Problemet med Immigrations var mitt eget fel, det var dumt att inte boka ...
High life
På förmiddagen fixade jag några fler praktiska saker. Hemresan från Johannesburg är nu bokad, färjan till Praslin också. Internet hittades igen. Jag pratade med Big Blue Divers, som drivs av Liz, från Holland precis som Leo. Det är mycket mer ...
Community Living
Usually there are more people on Curieuse, including 8 Marine oriented volunteers. But 6 months ago there were 2 shark attacks (where people died) less than a mile from here so the Seychelle government closed the island to snorkeling and diving, hence ...
Neither Coordination nor Grace
... what time it was and through some sort of reasoning I concluded that there was a 1 hour time difference from Dubai and the Seychelles. I set my alarm clock accordingly and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning ready to begin my first adventure in ...
Wrap Up
... to walk and breathe as well as swim are all over the place. It is fun times. I was determined to get my PADI while in the Seychelles. At my insistance, Conor decided to sign up for a dive as well to see if he liked it. Then Duncan decided to give it a ...
The Project
When I signed up for the GVI programs, I didnt really know what to expect. I learned a long time ago that setting expectations far to often leads to disappointment. I knew I would be living on an island and something to do with turtles, but not to sure ...
Island Paradise
Located 1 hour via ferry from Mahe (the largest island of the Seychelles), Curieuse Island was once was a leper colony for those that were sent to live here in exile. It is now a national park, with the relocated giant tortosies and amazing marine life. ...
Failure
I got to the dive center the next morning ready to get everything done and start diving. Sabrina was going to be the one to go out with. Since it was too choppy, we went by boat to a protected region of the island that was shallow enough to go down to ...
A Just Kidding Easy Day
... and where. It didn't occur to me to play the tourist game with her, although that would have been fun. The majority of Seychelles visitors seems to be English and French, both which colonized these islands in the past. We decided to leave to go to ...
Playa y más playa
Estamos en La Digue. Llegamos ayer a la tarde en el catamarán que viene de Praslin hacia acá. La guesthouse donde nos quedamos, tipo posadita, cuesta 65 euros con desayuno y hoy nos preparó la cena la dueña, Marie Anne. Nos hizo comida creole ...
2nd last day in Paradise
Jorrie did a resort Scuba course and did his training in the swimming pool which is conveniently located outside our rooms. We used this pool as our private swimming pool to rinse off after the evening sea swims before going to bed to go to sleep with ...
Dive! Dive! Dive!
... of La Digue. Go to the left and look around from a beautiful clearing with interesting vegetation and views of Felicite and Marianne Islands. Turn around and proceed south on the saddle, and you will soon find yourself at the highest spot, with a peak ...
You Say Shells, I Seychelles
... was the threat of pirate activity in the waters where we were traveling and that we were taking on extra precautions in the Seychelles including 5 Israeli soldiers (I thought there were 4 as I mistook two who are both 6’7 (I asked one) as the same ...
Reef-er Madness
We have a big day planned in the Seychelles today. Not 1, but 2 snorkeling excursions. Are we crazy, or what? For our first snorkeling trip we boarded a 45ft catamaran and head out to Cerf Island. Cerf Island is a small island about 4 ...
*(*^(*^*&%% Challenging Car Times
Perhaps I should have followed the car saint route more doggedly; if a higher being exists, it seems to be trying, bizarrely, to communicate to me via motor vehicles. I don’t know what I’ve done to vex it so, I think it may be the destruction ...
Launching Social Seychelles
... Seychelles and using their walls to promote the site. So now on my Facebook page I look like some kind of crazed Seychelles fan – perhaps I should present myself as the Seychelles Tourist Board and volunteer to be their mascot (though I look nothing ...
8km Victoria dash
... from it all. What better to do on a Saturday afternoon then run 8km round the world's reputedly smallest capital, Victoria in the Seychelles. At 3pm, the heat of the afternoon, woo hoo. Most people settled for the 4km race but no it was twice round the ...
My first live football game ever - Seychelles vs Z
... anything much except shadow as each bulb stuttered on; their energy may have been absorbed by the team instead. A changed side, Seychelles played more offensively and scored two though it was too late as Zimbabwe also scored another two; one an appalling ...
Bon jour, Seychelles
[In 1978, we visited several islands in the Seychelles. I can see how this has become a very upscale holiday location, as it was very beautiful. Bird Island was amazing. Too bad I can't ever afford to return.] Well, here I am at the Cassurine Guest ...
Primer gran día de buceo
... desfiladeros que propone el fondo del mar. En un rato vuelve Sergio y tendrá mucho más para contar. Estamos felices en Praslin, Seychelles. Estamos justo en una playa que se llama Cot d'or. Es una playa extensa, de arena totalmente blanca, mar ...
A puro buceo
Hoy nos levantamos 7.30. Desayunamos charlando un buen rato con el español piloto de Dubai y rajamos en bondi (5 rupias) hasta el Valle de Mai, donde se preservan tres tipos de palmeras endémicas, la más famosa es el coco de mer, muy apreciada en su ...
The Seychelles
... 2 nights. In Praslin, the four of us shared an apartment with a kitchen so we could eat in for 2 nights (the Seychelles are very expensive). But everyone still got their fill of delicious, fresh seafood. We took a boat cruise of three ...
Discovering my inner geek
Given my astounding success inserting a break with HTML and what appears to be an emerging inner geek, I can't help but think What If? What if I’d decided to pursue a career in computing instead? No, don’t choke those of you who know ...
Six months Seychelles watershed
Half a year it's been since I arrived on Seychelles shore so I thought it about high time that I reflected seriously upon how life has changed for me rather than pontificate about what animal I’d like to be if I was reincarnated or the paucity of ...
To illustrate my case... putting the trivial into
History: What colour was Christopher Columbus's hair? I see, another searing, incisive question worthy of debate. Shall I base my answer on knowledge or just take a blind guess, and if I’m really clever make a stereotyped assumption based on his ...
Social Seychelles
Nurturing the inner geek, I've been playing around awhile with Social Seychelles, creating a logo using a site online, adding features, developing the look, feel and tone of the site and writing content, such as the community guidelines. Having managed a ...
