Victoria, capital of the Seychelles
2023年4月19日, セイシェル ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Victoria is purported to be the smallest capital city in the world. It is certainly the only city in the Seychelles.

For us, today was all about getting our bearings and checking out the market. We will go back another day to explore further and visit the museums. Having said that, we did see the Clock Tower, the focal point of the city. It really isn't that big, but it acts as a central meeting spot, standing on the intersection of Independence Avenue, Albert Street, and Francis Rachel Street. It is a miniature version of the clock tower at Vauxhall Bridge in London. It was a gift of the British government and was erected in 1903 when the Seychelles took the first step towards Independence.

We wandered around the city before pausing at the waterfront for a much needed beverage! 😂 It was lovely just to sit and watch the comings and goings.

Afterwards, we went to the tourist office to pick up a city plan and to ask for directions to the market. On route to buy our vegetables and salad stuff, we stopped at one of the many bakeries (a legacy from the French 😀) to buy a pastry for lunch. A delicious spicy vegetable pasty did the trick - snd it was only 10 rupees (60p).

The market was great - we will definitely go there again. Locally grown stuff is quite reasonably priced, but you obviously have to pay a premium for imported stuff like tomatoes 🍅 and peppers.

Before catching the bus 🚌 back, we went to another supermarket where we found low-fat milk 🥛. Mark bought a couple of different beers to try. The shops really remind us of the Caribbean, as did the whole of Victoria - the people, the architecture, everything! We feel very at home here 😀.

On the bus ride home, the heavens opened, and it lashed it down!! All the windows were quickly closed - it was like being in a sauna!! You could see the steam rising! 😂 Local people all carry small towels with them. There was a girl at the bus stop this morning using one to mop the sweat (there's that word again 😀) from her brow. This afternoon, on the bus, people were getting on looking like they'd just stepped out of the shower 🚿 and using their towels to dry themselves off!

Luckily, the rain had stopped by the time we reached home.もっと詳しく

Seychelles National Museum
2023年5月2日, セイシェル ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Today, we ventured into Victoria for the final time. It was incredibly hot and humid this morning. The first bus 🚌 that came along was full and sailed straight past. By the time the next one came along, I was melting! It was pretty rammed, and we had to stand to start with. We did get seats, but it was a very uncomfortable ride - too hot, too crowded, and too smelly!! 😀

In town, we went to buy some euros 💶. Unbelievably, our tour tomorrow has to be paid in cash in euros, and we used the only euros we had (which we have been carrying around for over a year!) to pay for the hire car! We tried a couple of places. Nowhere would take a card, so we had to buy euros with sterling. We lost on the transaction, but we had no choice!

The expected rain came as we were on our way to visit the National Museum, so we were grateful to get under cover.

The museum opened in 2018 and is housed in Victoria's restored Supreme Court building, which dates from 1885. It is well laid out with three exhibition rooms downstairs that take the visitor on an informative journey through 300 years of Seychellois history. Upstairs, there are interesting exhibits describing Creole culture, focusing on fashion, food, music, fishing, and architecture.

We spent an enjoyable couple of hours learning about the history and culture of the Seychelles. Outside, we were ready for a drink, so ended up in the expensive café we went to before! As we left there, the heavens opened, and we had to shelter in the entrance of the post office. As usual here, though, it wasn't long before the rain stopped and the sun came out again!もっと詳しく

St. Paul's Cathedral
2023年5月2日, セイシェル ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Our next stop was at St. Paul's Anglican cathedral. The original church was consecrated in May 1859 by the first bishop of Mauritius, Vincent William Ryan. In the years since, the building has been extended with a new tower being added in 1910 and the sanctuary being relocated in 1978.

We were particularly impressed with the striking stained glass.もっと詳しく

Victoria
2019年10月21日, セイシェル ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Bald verlassen wir die Seychellen wieder. Heute morgen waren wir in der Stadt. In Victoria gab es ein paar Sehenswürdigkeiten anzuschauen. Beispielsweise der Clocktower, der Hindu-Tempel oder die Markthalle. Die grösste Herausforderung bei diesem Spaziergang war jedoch die sehr hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit (80%)!! Die 29 Grad Lufttemperatur fühlten sich deshalb wie 40 Grad an.

Nun sind wir gespannt, was in Saint-Denis auf La Réunion auf uns wartet. Dort werden wir am Donnerstagmorgen anlegen.もっと詳しく

Best laid plans and all that 😂
2023年4月22日, セイシェル ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Our plan today was to visit Eden Island, enquire about boat trips to other islands, and do some shopping at the only South African Spar on the island 🏝 😀. None of that happened!

I woke up before 6am and caught a couple of photos 📸 of the imminent sunrise. I did go back to bed but couldn't sleep. I was aware that Anto was up and about. He was cleaning the apartment upstairs from us. I knew he wanted to get in and clean ours today and that all 6 apartments would be full by the end of the day. So, we got up early, had breakfast, and headed for the bus stop, waving to Anto as we left, telling him he was clear to do our room.

At the bus stop, I realised I had forgotten to pick up any water. You really can't go anywhere in this heat without water. So, Mark volunteered to go and get it while I waited with our backpacks 🎒. Luckily, the bus 🚌 didn't come while he was gone. It appeared around the corner just as he came back, so we jumped on it and were on our way. Two stops down the road, I realised I had left my phone on the bench at the bus stop!! Panic!! We pressed the bell, urged the driver to stop, and jumped off! My phone has everything on it! I was imagining the problems we would have if I didn't get it back!! I spotted a group of people setting up a picnic in the trees by the beach across the road. I ran over, explained what I'd done, and asked if one of them could give me a lift back to the bus stop. I was worried that, if I walked, someone would get there before me and take my phone. The family I asked were lovely! They were celebrating their grandma's birthday. One of them jumped in her car and gave me a lift while Mark stayed with the rest of the family. My phone was still there!! I've never been so relieved in all my life!! I offered to pay for petrol, but they wouldn't take a penny!!

After our second false start, we went back to the nearest bus stop to wait for the next bus. It came after about 20 minutes - and we were on our way again! Unfortunately, we had got on a bus which didn't go to Eden Island! We found ourselves in Victoria instead!! Mark went to ask about a bus to Eden Island while I took some photos 📸 of the street art. He found out there wasn't one for an hour!!

So, we decided to find a shady spot to have a drink and work out what to do with our day. We went to a little cafe near the Clock Tower. We didn't even look at the prices and ended up paying about £15 for an iced coffee and a beer!! Oh my goodness - our day wasn't getting any better! 😂🤣

We sat for a while watching other white tourists wandering around suffering in the heat and then made up our minds to walk to a hypermarket a little way out of town to see if we could find some sugar-free drinks. Needless to say, on a day like this, we never found it! We did, however, find another large(ish) supermarket that stocked Coke Zero - result!! We can enjoy a Takamaka rum and coke or three now 😂! By now, we were both hot and hungry, so we decided to give up on our plans for the day and head home. We only had to wait 40 minutes for a bus!! 😂🤣 The joys of travel - some days are just like that!

Back at the apartment, we chilled on the balcony and watched the comings and goings of the new arrivals. I had the obligatory swim before dinner - Mark gave it a miss today. I did 40 lengths, but it is a very small pool!! 😂もっと詳しく

Lunch by the waterfront
2023年4月24日, セイシェル ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
From the Botanic Gardens, we walked down to the waterfront, pausing to take a photo 📸 of the Bicentennial Monument, erected in 1978 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the city of Victoria and said to represent the three continents (Africa, Europe, and Asia) where Seychellois people originated from. We also took a photo of the Unity Monument, unveiled in 1987 and depicting 4 large white fish. Each fish represents one of the pillars of the economy in Seychelles - tourism, agriculture, fisheries, and small businesses.

At the waterfront, we found a café run by a Seychellois lady married to an English man. She lived in Kingston, Surrey, for many years. I can see why she prefers the Seychelles! We had a drink and shared a toasted cheese 🧀 and tomato 🍅 sandwich 🥪.

While we ate, we watched a vivid orange bird. We asked the lady what it was called. She told us it was a robin! It was nothing like any robin I've ever seen!もっと詳しく

Peace Park, Victoria
2023年4月24日, セイシェル ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Our last stop on the way back to the bus 🚌 station was at the Peace Park. Here, there are 3-metre tall bronze statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and James Richard Marie Mancham, the founding President of the Republic of Seychelles. I don't know what Mr Mancham looked like, but I can vouch for the likenesses of Gandhi and Mandela - I thought they were brilliant!もっと詳しく

Hello Seychelles!
2023年4月28日, セイシェル ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
After two days at sea we arrived in the Seychelles 🇸🇨. This morning we walked from the ship to down town Victoria on the main island of Mahe - not far to walk but extremely humid/hot! Checked out the local markets and shops - in the afternoon we took another bus trip to a Creole night/dinner on the beach . Had a swim in beautiful 28 deg Indian Ocean before dinner and “show” at a resort- arrived back at the ship at 10pm.もっと詳しく
