... Arms in downtown Victoria, a long stop at the Botanical Gardens being amazed by the size and aggressiveness of the fruit bats and beauty of the tropical flowers, a long drive to Intendance Beach home to the exclusive Banyan Tree Resort, and a final meal at Vye Marmit’ in the Val des Prés craft ...

... anchorage for the night. It’s a very rewarding final day of sailing in the Seychelles.

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’s a great snorkel with plenty of colorful and large ...

... shop on the beach. Unfortunately, we arrived about an hour too late to take the afternoon dive. After buying ice at the bar, we head back to the boat for a swim and our normal evening ritual awaiting another fantastic sunset.

... 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.

We’re back to the boat ...

... the rocking to severe and the fish would end up in the sea. Of course, that would be a catastrophe and a violation of nature. We thought about cooking in salt, but, realized we most certainly didn’t have enough for such a big fish. So with true Italian grit, he trimmed the fish so it could fit in the oven, covered it in aluminum foil filled with lemon, spices ...

... We began the circle hike through the park. Almost instantaneously you feel like you've been transported back into pre-historic times with, incredibly large coco du mer trees and overgrown prehistoric fauna surrounding you. Adding to this backdrop is the sexually suggestive nature of the male and female coco du mer seeds. Perhaps, the Adam and Eve had the same setting in ...

... 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 ...

We get pick up by the same cranky girl. Dr T thinks she is a local, I think she is German. She wore a German bikini yesterday! And today she is even our dive master ... . Her name is Liliane. The dive center is to our taste, though, the owner a very nice lady. The sailing to out destinations is a bit longer than we are used to. Today, we go to a wreck. Deepest point 35m, shallowest point: 20 m, 12m long. The wreck is nice, they are always surrounded by a lot of life. Towards ...

... sa och dom får bara växla till sig 400 amerikanska dollar. Därför köper dom dem. Kvällarna spenderade vi mest på våran mysiga terrass med att dricka vin och spela kort. En kväll tog vi med oss vin och ljus och gick ner till stranden och låg och tittade på stjärnorna. Jag har aldrig i hela mitt liv sett så många stjärnor på samma gång. Man blev helt förtrollad. Miljoner stjärnor... Vågor som sköljer in mot stranden... Svag musik från en restaurang längre bort... Och vi...

... Once we had stopped being shat that the lively place we'd booked had been swapped for a much more isolated, quiet place, we realised that having a waterfront place wasn't too bad a compromise! After bagging our valuables, we left them with Jude, who we assume was a backpacker, working for his keep, but may have been a relative, and headed out for our first snorkel, out through the channel at our beach and along the outside of the ...
