🇸🇨 4 days in Seychelles 🇸🇨
The Seychelles truly has some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Why? Because of the large granite rocks that poke out on the beaches. It creates a unique feature that is unmistakable. This plus the white soft sand, increadable sunsets and the waves just hit right 🤷
The local Seychellois believe that the Seychelles is the original garden of Eden. The coco de mer (the worlds largest nut) is believed to be the original forbidden fruit. Because of is shape resembles a woman’s pelvis. The life cycle of the Coco de Mer is also surprising similar to a humans. It’s also a know aphrodisiac.
I also really enjoyed the stories of how Seychelles people used to propose marriage. First the intended husband must write a letter in goose feather to the father of the woman they intend to marry. After this he must prove his skill by producing a fruit basket made from local palm leaves. Then they must fill this fruit basket with ‘hard’ fruit. This is fruit that is not easy to acquire. Therefore fruits that is usually protected by bees or thorns. After this the suiter must sit at a table with the father and daughter and roll a small tomato close the edge of the table where the daughter sits. Not too far or to short or he would lose her hand. 😅 Think long and hard about proposing in Seyschelles!

Couples trip to Nosy Be, Madagascar

Last minute decision for this beautiful island as our original destination Kenya & Tanzania was off limits due to flooding. We detoured & went Madagascar instead & I was very happy that we did. These islands are absolutely stunning, beautiful people, food and scenery, plus friendly Lemurs and other wildlife. We spent on average ~ €40 a day on accommodation & maybe €20 on food & drink. I say € b...

Landed in Belize airport and was quickly picked up by my shuttle to the water taxi. Took over an hour and was packed ($70). I was heading to San Pedro for 5 nights and I’d arrived a day early. Met a really nice Canadian couple staying in my hotel and stayed up drinking g&t’s that I’d brought from London duty free till the wee hours. It meant next day I couldn’t dive. In the morning I convinced ...

Sometimes the majestic beauty of a place can touch you deep inside your soul. After landing in Vienna and travelling to a lake town near to Salzberg the snow began to fall. In the morning the ground was covered creating the perfect backdrop for what was to come. Jen had only planned on staying for a few days & therefore needed to depart which would free me up for skiing/snowboarding. Although I...
