Coconuts and Cinnamon on Praslin The hotel offered a guided walking-tour today, so I spontaneously joined a small group and walked along the on-site nature trail. During this two hour walking-tour we learned about the flora and fauna of Praslin and had a great panoramic view on the surrounding bay area and islands. At the end I had weiterlesen…

Coco de mer in the Vallee de Mai Today I went on a Mason’s Travel Excursion to Vallee de Mai, a nature park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the island Praslin. The park is a large palm forest with around 5.000 of the rare coco de mer. These palms have the largest seeds weiterlesen…

Mrs. Louise Mellon (née Desjardins) was the first weiterlesen…
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 for a sailing tour around La Digue – sailing into the sunset 🙂
