NORTH ISLAND Mahe Island

... mugging me, but it didn't happen. So, the day was starting out well. The sun was back out, and so was the humidity. Nevertheless, I had nothing to complain about, and while Stephen Marley was playing rhythms in my ear, I was all smiles. By the time we arrived in Victoria, it was only a little after 8:00 a.m. I started walking down the busy sidewalks with my bags, looking like a lost fool. I walked for a long time, and eventually met a guy in the ...

... minutes or so, he invited me to spend Sunday afternoon with him and his family. He said they'd barbeque and we would drink beers. He gave me his phone number, and then brought me back to the guesthouse. Unfortunately, when I went to purchase a Sim Card at each of the two nearby markets, neither had one, and there was no phone to use at the Bacova. So, I decided to just relax for the rest of the night. Another great day on Mahe.

... 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’s great that we don’t need much as it’s a longer walk than we expected. Meanwhile, Lisa has inquired about a dive with the whale sharks at the resort ...

... 8217; so he had the funds to buy our produce. Neal said we can trust Robert, so we decided to also trust Miles.

We took a short dingy ride to the shore for a brief walk around the port and a dingy trip around Ille St. Anne, a man-made island in the middle of the bay. Back to the boat to await Miles and prepare for our evening ritual. He returned a bit ...

... a large group of italians staying there. We found this odd until we realized that the entire Seychelles islands were fully booked by Italians! It felt like we were in Capri! La cuvette is not really near any beaches but that suited us fine. Every morning we would run the 6 km in the sweltering heat to Anse Lazio or Georgette. At the end of the road there was "heart attack hill" followed by a 30 minute trail to Anse Lazio or a 1 hour trail to Anse Georgette. There are ...

I decided to take a small detour on my way to London and stop in the Seychelles for a few days. The plane ride was a bit tedious but luckily I was able to block out the problem with movie I blasted in my ears which took up almost the whole plane ride. The whole plane (and it was a 747 but not all 400 seats were full) seemed to be all honeymooners and couples. All except for this one family of five which consisted of two oblivious parents with three ...
