Today I woke up a little on the sore side of the bed. I think the hill climbing took more out of me than I thought it would. Nevertheless, I enjoy pushing myself sometimes, especially when I ride, so I proposed that today would be no different. I left My Dream and headed to the opposite side of the jetty (and up the hill).

Anse Lazio, Prasllin -&gt; Beau Vallon, Mahe'<br><br>Today we leave the northern island group behind.

... 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 ...

... in 3-4m of sandy bottom. But, then we wouldn&#8217;t have a great memory of cooking our mega-red snapper while rocking back and forth in the salon. All I can say to Lisa is --- sorry.<br><br>As you might have guessed, nothing was going to keep Marcello from cooking our red snapper that day. The only question was how.

... s clutches. To give credit where due, I must acknowledge that the metaphor was originated in a song by free thinking George Brassons, a beautiful french songwriter. ( Music is a great inspiration for me) The average bourgeois person who lives in society can be compared with a chicken. Overfed and easy-led by a system that doesnt care about her and will eventually kill her. These chickens are happy to be fed low quality g.m. foods, be filled full ...

... way, as the road makes a large detour inland. Not sure what exact activities take place here. Hotel restaurant is expensive, but we're pleasantly surprised to find the cafe is quite reasonable (we'd been fearing it might be like Tahiti, where there is nothing reasonable except bread, and had brought some canned goods for this reason). Have a large pizza for 65 rupees and two cokes for 9 rupees each. To bed, exhausted, about 9pm. Band ...
