Sunday Cruise

Today we went out for a cruise on a beautiful three masted schooner called Sea Star. My friend Amit runs a cruise company so he invited us as his guests. Here's the boat.....
Our gang : Me, Brendan, Bernadette, Sue and Alex behind the camera.
We sailed over towards North Point...
What's that Titanic song?The boat anchored off Glacis Beach for some snorkelling.
I saw my second Eagle Ray. I swam along about four feet above it.One of the crew scaling the fish ready for the BBQ lunch...
The BBQ hangs out over the side of the boat...
After lunch I joined the kids leaping off the top deck of the boat. Here's me and Liam in mid-flight...
Big Kid!
One the way back we sailed back past Beau Vallon. Our house is marked with the arrow....
What a fantastic day...my last sunday in the Seychelles.

School Fete

It was the School Fete today. Here people are queuing at the milkshake stall.
Brendon's class thought it would be cool to put him in the stocks. It's all for good cause Brendon!

Fruity Fruit

Karen asked me to take some photos of all the fruit that grows in and around our garden. Of course there are lots of bananas...
Karen picked star fruit for breakfast every day...
Fresh pineapple out of the garden is fantastic...
We have plenty of coconuts, although getting the husk off is pretty tough....
Guava....
Mango juice is the best....
Pampelmous (a kind of grapefruit)...
Papaya is one of the main ingredients of Seychelles salads....
