Le Relax Mahe Island

... if I needed help. I told her my story, and then she walked me down to my bungalow. She showed me around a bit, and then we walked back to the office where she had me meet Elcia, who was the woman I had spoken to on the phone (and was also the owner). Elcia was an older, very sweet woman who also walked me around the place. We chatted for a little while about Americans and tourists and so on, when she then offered me a glass of juice - I am ...

... to get in touch with Jimmy (the bus driver). I have no idea what I am going to do from here. I have no reservations, and my hopes are to make to Praslin in the morning. I don't even know how I plan to get to the ferry station, and in fact, I don't even know where exactly it is? However, if there is one thing I have learned already, I am almost certain that anyone I ...

... said "food". As long as they were open, I was sold on their strategy. As I walked down into the driveway/parking lot there was another sign that said Fairyland. It was another place I had remembered reading about. However, I couldn't remember what it was exactly that I had read. Either way, it didn't much matter, as hungry as I was, I was willing to check it out without review. When I first walked inside, it was obvious that they were just ...

... 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’ve seen on the trip, making for a fine snorkel.

Once back on the boat, we half-heartedly attempt to set a stern anchor so that we’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 ...

... tips.

After lunch, we continue on, sailing to our night stop at Port Launay. We get the anchor in just to port of the cross marketing the reef on the western side of the bay and jump in for an evening snorkel. This time we snorkeled all the way to the beach, then back along the cliffs on the eastern side of the bay. The light was pretty low, but, we ...

... a small bonito caught again by Lisa. As we round the northern point of Mahe’, 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.

It’ ...

... sundown with some provisions indicating he’d be back the next day with the rest, of course, asking for more euros. We weren’t surprised.

We settled in for a lazy evening on the boat, well protected, but, a bit stuffy at the base of Baie St. Anne.

... pretty beaches, but not as good for swimming due to coral or rough currents. Other islands - There are dozens of smaller islands in Seychelles dotted with a variety of very exclusive resorts. We didn't go to any of these. Seychelles is as beautiful of a destination as you could ever hope to find. Unless you were easily bored, anyone would love it here. The stunning natural surroundings and positively gorgeous beaches have enough to keep any visitor enchanted for weeks ...

... really but I think this would be many peoples idea of paradise. The friendly people were really kind to me going out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. The people here are mostly French but are warm and welcoming even if you don't speak their language. Perhaps on of my favorite things was laying on the beach at night watching the stars. Being so far out there are no city lights to obstruct my view of heaven. And Mars which is closer to ...
