Today we moved to our new house in Beau Vallon. Beau Vallon is a small community based around the long, sandy Beau Vallon beach. There are a few shops, bank, petrol station, couple of pubs and resturants. Our house is up a steep hill behind the beach. The school is in Victoria which can be seen in the distance over the hill.
This is our house! Big veranda, kitchen/diner/living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms. Our car (when we get one) will go where those two mini mokes are.
Buffet breakfast at the Plantation Club Hotel. I got into having bacon, eggs and chop suey for breakfast! Our last day of exploring the beaches in the south of Mahe before we move to our new house tomorrow.

The Seychelles is a group of small islands spread over a large area, just north of Madagascar, off the East coast of Africa. The main island, where we will be is called Mahe. Mahe is about the size of the Isle of Wight. The International School is in the capital city Victoria. The population of the Seychelles is about 70,000
Making the most of the beach while the holiday lasts at the Plantation Club Hotel. This hotel is apparently famous for hosting the 1997 Miss World contest!
Karen and Lisa on the beach at the Plantation Hotel. Our first afternoon in the Seychelles.
Me and Lisa checking out the pool. That is a top way to recover from a 10 hour flight!
