Friends - we made it home....after about a 36 hour journey!  Thanks for sharing this trip with us.  Pictures - out the plane window somewhere over the Atlantic ocean + reaching land (Atlantic City??).


Richard + Tom

Our last day....

Rather than our original plan of taking the bus + ferry to see the island of La Digue, we decided to take it easy and spend the day on our favorite beach, "Anse Lazio".  Had "bourgeois fish" (aka red snapper) at a beach front cabana.  Our last dinner at the hotel...the chef Kevin did a superb job with the seafood entrée.  getting up at 4 am to start our 34 hour trip back home.

Thankful

I (Richard), am so thankful and blessed to be on this vacation.  First, Tom needs to take full credit for all the work in planning this trip.  Second, we could not have done this without our travel agent extrodinnaire Chris Novelli at Just to Travel.  We've been using them for over 30 years; we highly recommend using them for travel plans.....check out:Just to Travel

2nd to last day

Rained all last night and in morning; postponed plans to take ferry to the island of "la Digue"...perhaps tomorrow weather permitting.  No problem: read, napped, took a walk, visited St. Matthews Anglican church, paddled a 2 person kyack (we didn't kill each other over rowing techniques), experienced an amazing sunset and ate an amazing Creole dinner...just a regular 'ol day in Paradise.

Coincidence?

Could New Orleans "Cafe du Monde" be franchising out to The Seychelles???

Vallee de Mai

Vallee de Mai is part of the Seychelles national forest - hill-slopes of the site are mainly covered by a high proportion of native plants, notably all six of Seychelles’ endemic palm species. It includes the palm forest of the World Heritage listedVallée de Mai, as well as many small streams and waterfalls.

You've heard of The Blob in Phoenixville, PA and the Attack of The Shoes in Dayton, OH...but probably never heard of the man eating

PS - I'm changing my drag name from Taffy Wendell to Coco De Mer! (Miss de Mer to you)

Scuba Diving Day

Went out scuba diving today; didn't bring camera so no photos.  Did see BIG turtles, HUGE parrot fish, octopus, many colored fish and coral.  Here are some photos of the amazing sunset and the obligatory selfie.
