It&#8217;s a very rewarding final day of sailing in the Seychelles.<br><br>As we tie up to a mooring ball, the park rangers come to collect our $15US for the night and we prepare to snorkel the surrounding reef of Ille Moyenne. It&#8217;s a great snorkel with plenty of colorful and large ...

... 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 ...

Just when we cleared the point, about a 100m from the mooring ball, the wind quickly kicked up to 35 knots. We decided to complete the maneuver, successfully, and waited for the wind to build feeling we were as protected as possible in the lee of ...

... sure. We are playing cards late afternoon, when our friends, Linda and Mark, drop by. They invite us for diner but we are not hungry yet. After diner, they come and say bye and we persuade them to have a coffee. Linda starts talking about her travels. My chin drops to my chest. If you think our tour is an adventure; you should hear her stories. Like: 20 years ago, travelling through China, with a girlfriend. Almost no money. Lived on water and what they found on the trees. They took ...

... way tickets cost 5 times as much as a return, so we book a return from Johannesburg, we arrive the 1st of February in Brussels! Tourist information: we know we ARE spoilt. But, there is really not so much on the island but sandy white beaches, turquoise water, against a back ground of very green vegetation and rocks. Very pretty and romantic, though. There are 2 museums in Victoria: the museum of national ...

... didn't look like the sort of route you would retrace in the dark. Unfortunately, the tunnelling position is deadly on glasses clipped into the shirt, and they probably disappeared into the inaccessible chasms between the boulders. (This was not discovered until we were home). Back on the beach, we looked at the creek at the east end, and talked to a couple who had done the 10 minute walk by the track to the next beach. Had a cooling ...
