| Seychelles February 2008 |
| After a 9 1/2 hour flight from Frankfurt we landed in Mahe but we still had to go a short distance to the island of Praslin. We surprised the kids by renting a helicopter and taking a 25 minute ride to the island. An exciting way to start the trip! |
| Local dancing on the beach |
| This was our room - 10 feet from the beach |
| The fish were eating out of the boys hands |
| After four says at La Reserve we moved to the New Emerald Cove hotel to try some new landscape. We saw sting rays in the water just off the beach - cool! |
| These tortoises were all over the small neighbor island of Curisuese |
| This was our favorite beach - on a private island called Big Sister |
| Lunchtime! |
| The famous beach Anse Lazio - often voted as the best beach in the world |
| Coconut bowling - it was like we were on Gilligan's Island Mary won! |
| We brought two home for the kitchen and they prepared it as carpacio - yum! |
| Mark and Bradley took a morning to do some fishing - Bradley caught 4 fish including 3 Bonita Tuna |
| Our small private (secret) beach |
| Alex climbing a palm tree |
| We spent a lot of time in and on the water |
| View from our porch |
| There were tortoises on the hotel grounds |
| This was the beach at our first hotel - La Reserve |
| Our room at the New Emerald Cove - more tropical than the first location and not as luxurious |
| The entire crew went fishing a second day and we landed 9 fish - Mary caught the biggest - Alex caught the most |
| Incredible granite rocks along the beaches |
| We found huge hermit crabs - this one was the size of your fist |
| Bradley soaking up the sun |
| Kayaking above the coral reef |
| Mary and Alex caught a large shell thing (in the bag) we still don't know what it was but it was scary |
| The last sunset as we headed by boat back to the airport for a long flight home |
| One the last day we went to the island La Dique to visit the famous Anse Source de l'Argent |
