I know, how lucky am I? Going to the Seychelles! And for Christmas too. Lonely Planet reckons I’m lucky, so I must be.
It definately is a very beautiful part of the world. I want to share my thoughts and images of the Seychelles with you so you can see how beautiful it is. But at the same time I don’t want to tell you it is so great because I fell in love and it is very hard to share that love, don’t you think? Ok, I will relent and let you share it if you ever get the chance. But be good to my La Digue!
La Digue is my favourite Island in the Seychelles. It is the third largest Island. But don’t let that fool you into thinking it is big! It is just the right size that you get to experience all it has to offer. And don’t let the monsoons scare you away either – it rains and then the most exquisite warm sun shines through again.
Here is why I fell in love again…
Not only is the scenery beautiful, but ….
there are hardly any cars and everyone rides everywhere …
peak hour parking can get busy …
especially at the beach …
so take a picnic and enjoy the views …
or ride to the famous Source d’Argent and run along the beach’s white soft sand …
…yes, I’m back now. Just had to pinch myself to wake me from my reverie. The pace of life on La Digue is romantic. You could even call it seductive. It takes you by the hand and embraces you so that you are forced to slow down. You don’t want to leave. We had to drag ourselves off the Island.
Don’t worry La Digue, I still love you, and I will be back for you… one day… soon… I hope…
Erin.
