La Digue, Seychelles

Another glorious day in Seychelles, this time on the fourth largest island called La Digue. It’s a beach/resort island so we decided we’d freestyle and head ashore on the tender boat with our friends Geraldine and Thomas. So glad we did!

We had a fabulous day walking around on the streets and on the beachfront. It’s one of the most charming and beautiful islands we’ve ever been to. Transportation is dominated by bicycles and golf carts. There are few cars and trucks. The scenery is lush as well as dramatic with giant granite boulders dotting the landscape. The beach sand is white and fine and the water is warm and clear. Paradise.

We chose to visit a site called L’Union Estate, a historic vanilla and coconut plantation that includes Anse Source D’Argent beach as well as a colonial era cemetery and an area for giant tortoises. We managed to do it all as well as have a casual fish and chips lunch before hopping on the tender back to the ship.

A most perfect end to the African leg of our journey.Baca selengkapnya
