... an ice cold shower (not by choice), and dressed into something other than my swimming trunks. I pondered resolutions to my hunger pains, and began walking down the unlit street. I didn't make it far before I came upon a little restaurant nearby that was rather quiet (almost too quiet), and while I stood reading the menu for the night, I looked up and noticed the three or four couples intently curious about me. Not ...

... car I had previously rented is waiting for us in the parking lot. Even better, Neal was able to arrange the rental of a local home for our last night in the Seychelles. As we say goodbye to Monkey Puzzle, we know that we still have one more day to explore the Seychelles and that we did with lunch at the ...

... The coral heads are some of the best I&#8217;ve seen on the trip, making for a fine snorkel.<br><br>Once back on the boat, we half-heartedly attempt to set a stern anchor so that we&#8217;d have our bow set into the waves which caused a substantial amount of roll our first night. Feeling we were setting it too close ...

... a small bonito caught again by Lisa. As we round the northern point of Mahe&#8217;, the wind begins to build to 30k (katabolic effect off the high mounts) coming almost due south right on our nose. We roll-up the job and reef the main as we motor sail directly into the wind to anchor in the designated area off Beau Vallon Beach.<br><br>It&#8217 ...

... some beer, lunch, and a short rest before tackling the northern side. In the water again, but, it&#8217;s starting to get grey and there&#8217;s a much stronger current. So, one by one we abandon are afternoon snorkel content with what we experience in the morning.<br><br>We&#8217;re off to our last anchorage in the northern island group and jump off point for ...

... the rocking to severe and the fish would end up in the sea. Of course, that would be a catastrophe and a violation of nature. We thought about cooking in salt, but, realized we most certainly didn&#8217;t have enough for such a big fish. So with true Italian grit, he trimmed the fish so it could fit in the oven, covered it in aluminum foil filled with lemon, spices ...

... 8220;peace&#8221; logoed dingy. In addition, to 6 shoemaker fish like those from Anse Volbert he had over 1 Kg of octopus from his personal stash and the kicker was a enormous red snapper that had been caught that morning. Needless to say, it was worth the additional euros we had to fork over for the more expensive fare and service charge. Miles fit the laid back ...

... little problem hanging out with 100,000s birds on their turf. Guess it&#8217;s just the nasty, city types that I don&#8217;t appreciate. The staff makes a show of landing the launches on the beach as they ferry us back to our respective boats. The anchorage empties instantaneously as the day trippers leave for their respective resorts, leaving Ille Cousine completely to us. It&#8217;s a great setting for ...

... that salt, and because there was such a long shallow area to play in. Here is the proof that I got in the water: John didn't get to play in the water because he didn't bring his bathing suit due to the serious sunburn he got on our balcony 2 days ago. Lunch was native foods and it was the best we've had so far. We had a native snapper smoked, curried, and grilled, a type of cucumber salad, hearts of palm salad ...

... go figure. Gotta seek out these Cdn Seychellois like I did the Vincentians after visiting Bequia. Restaurant Reviews: These 3 places stood out amongst others La Digne: The Sunset Café ... Alain owns the place with his brother. The recommendation is obvious when you see his picture - aside from that, the prawns curry is phenomenally good and the atmosphere is really laid back.
