Arrival in the Seychelles
What a beautiful location this is for a simple inn. The view from my room here is of a lagoon going out about 200 meters to where there is a reef line. After that, open ocean. To the right the beach curves out toward the sea with huge basalt-like rocks, some the size of trucks, which are in the water at high tide. I so wish Marjolaine and the girls …
