Boat transfer to Praslin, Coco de Mer Hotel, hotel beach and me loafing. The third Island to discover on my Seychelles trip was Prasil. I stayed at the Coco de Mer Hotel (& Black Parrot Suites), which is located in the Anse Bois de Rose. Situated on the beach amidst lush tropical gardens, this chalet-style hotel is just great to relax [...]

Me and a wild giant tortoise, on the Nid d’Aigles and Coco Island. After enjoying the great beaches, today I made a walking tour to La Digue‘s tallest peak (which is more than 300 meters above sea level) in the central part of the island on the Nid d’Aigles (Eagle’s Nest Mtn). On my way through the [...]

Me on the way to the Anse Source d’Argent This time I walked to the L’Union Estate – a park with a big enclosure with giant tortoises and very old cemetery. The La Digue Cemetery was the private burial place for the Mellon family who was among the first settlers on La Digue during the early [...]

One of the great beaches, the wild turtle, a sailing tour and my roommate. Today I firstly had a walking tour around the half island; Anse La Réunion, Anse Sévère, Anse Patates, Anse Gaulettes, Anse Grosse Roche and Anse Banane. The highlight was to meet a wild giant tortoise on the way. Later on I go [...]

Island transfer, beach chalet, chalet view and new friends :o) The next island to discover on the Seychelles was La Digue.

Clock Tower, Cathédrale de Immaculée Conception, Giant Tortoises and Coco de Mer in the Mont-Fleuri Botanical Gardens. Today I made a round trip in the capital city Victoria. Starting from the bus station in the Palm Street I walked to the Cathédrale de Immaculée Conception and then to the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market. Close-by there [...]

Forest trail, Palm spider and some bloom. After lazing around on the beach it was time for another expedition in the ‘island jungle’. So I challenged the Sentier Vacoa Trail (Grand Anse) through the Riverine Forests, dominated once by Vacoa plants. On the way I saw some nice Seychelles Palm spiders (Argiopidae spider?), but the flora was [...]

Mangroves, red crab and mudhopper. Close-by the Hotel Meridien Barbarons there is a boardwalk through the mangroves. I didn’t know, but they say that mangroves harbour biodiversity, providing resources and act as a fish nursery and breeding ground. Beside some fishes like Tilapia and Mullets I discovered some other small creature like dungeness crabs (red crab) [...]

Coconut from that palm, the hotel and the beach. My first trip to the Seychelles and the first island Mahé on my island hopping expedition in this not just another place, but another world. My housing was in the Hotel Le Méridien Barbarons situated on the west coast of Mahé and ’set amidst tropical gardens, sparkling indigo lagoons, [...]

Internet Café, Bar Café Es Pont, Ciber-Phone and a tasty ice cream.  If you don’t have an internet connection in your hotel somewhere in the Tramuntana mountains and you are desperate for the web, you get go to one of the 3 internet Cafés in Sollér: Internet Café (de Sa Lluna) 15 minutes = 0.65 [...]
