Cafe des Arts Praslin Island

... He told me to enjoy myself, and not to worry about anything. He gave me a few tips as to where to go for this and that, and then he went back to work, and I headed up the road in search of a bicycle (in the field of many) that would not fall apart while I was on the other side of the island. I carefully examined each bike, excluding all of those with granny-baskets in the back (or crooked handlebars in the front), and ...

... paid much less for potatoes at the market. I had read that one of the favorites of the locals was fruit bat curry, and I was sure it was there somewhere. Again though, I was all about trying everything, and so I did. I have no idea what most of it was (other than the potatoes), but it was all incredibly good. I know there was some smoked salmon, and fish soup, but everything else remains forever a mystery. All I know is that it ...

... Arms in downtown Victoria, a long stop at the Botanical Gardens being amazed by the size and aggressiveness of the fruit bats and beauty of the tropical flowers, a long drive to Intendance Beach home to the exclusive Banyan Tree Resort, and a final meal at Vye Marmit’ in the Val des Prés craft ...

... the reef, we abandoned our attempt figuring we had our sea legs about us and could deal with one more night of roll, after all, we&#8217;ll be spending the next year on terra firma.<br><br>With sundowner in hand, we bid adieu to our final sunset on Monkey Puzzle.<br><br>Mapped Photo Gallery<br>BareboatingtheWorld.com

... time for another provisioning run. Marcello and I take a walk up the road to Vitoria and find a few minimarkets that have frozen meat, fresh bread, bottled water, and beer. It&#8217;s great that we don&#8217;t need much as it&#8217;s a longer walk than we expected. Meanwhile, Lisa has inquired about a dive with the whale sharks at the resort ...

... colored fish of all types and size including eagle rays, lion fish, blue and green striped grouper. The water is shallow, maybe .5-1.5m below the surface so the light is fantastic. Coral formations are beautiful. We must have spent at least 2 hours in the water. This has to be one of the best snorkel locations in the world.<br><br>We&#8217;re back to the boat ...

... white wine, and set the marine oven to do it&#8217;s stuff while dancing to the rhythm of waves. IT WAS DELICIOUS!! &#8230; and we still laugh about that day in the Seychelles and feel sorry that Lisa was unable to enjoy a fantastic "pesce a vapore".<br><br>Menu<br>Dinner: one mega-red snapper cooked to perfection<br><br>Mapped Photo Gallery<br>BareboatingtheWorld.com

... 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 ...

... foriegner, I feel that I have a responsibility to let the ppl know what is goin on outside of their world, as not many ppl get a chance to travel as I do. It is also my responsibility to understand the conciousness of the people in every place I get to visit. The land speaks to me so easily without words, but I must make efforts to listen to the ppl. We must all. Like I said, though, I will write more another day about all that is going ...

... incredible hospitality and better than any hotel. And as a bonus, they had a DVD player so we were able to catch up on movies. We would definitely recommend La Digue and Beryl + Bibi's place if you are looking for a getaway with a taste of Creole island life. Their contact number is 234 381. 18 days seems like a long time but we easily could have spent another week or two! We guess we are well suited to the small island life... We feel recharged and in good shape. Next stop India...
