Day 89 Victoria. Seychelles

Today was about as good as it gets….. We arrived into Victoria fairly early but it looked like the pilot forget to set his alarm clock. He was definitely a bit late… Once the ship was cleared, Ron, Glenda and I set out on our adventure. First up was to head to the markets since they were only open until noon and not at all tomorrow. We walked into town checking out the sights along the way like the old clock tower and arrived fairly quickly at the markets. It was fabulous…. There were lots of fish, veggies, fruits etc and lots of people… Great people watching and photo opportunities. After spending quite a bit of time at the markets in the sweltering heat we headed out to see the Hindu Temple, Catholic Church and the street activities. We then walked to the Botanical Gardens which were great. I especially liked the giant tortoises. We then grabbed a taxi for the rest of the day and headed over the mountains to the viewing points and also to the Old Mission ruins on the way to Port Glaud on the west coast. We then headed north to Port Launay. We took some photos and headed back south stopping along the way until we reached the island road crossing back over to the east coast at Anse A La Mouche. Once we reached to east coast we headed north and stopped at the beached at Fairyland…. Beautiful!!! We then continued north stopping for photos along the way as we made our way back to Victoria on our way to Beau Vallon on the north east coast for a beach stop. We had a great time there. The beach was great, water perfect and the diet cokes… priceless! Around 5:00 we headed back to Victoria for one last bit of shopping before boarding the ship so I could do this blog…. So sad. What an absolutely fantastic day!
