Today was a travel day.
We said goodbye to Anse Lazio around 8am. It was really a beautiful bay and we will miss it. We motored back to Baie St Anne where the base is. I took a few pictures along the way.
When we arrived we anchored and waited for someone from the base to come out an bring the boat into the dock. Eventually, Frederick arrived and backed the boat into the dock. Rick probably could have handled it but it’s easier to let someone else do it.
We got checked out and finished packing up our bags. We will miss living on a sailboat. It is very relaxing for us, but we need to start off on the next leg of our adventure. We took the 2pm ferry from Praslin to Mahe. Again, it was pretty rough and I didn’t feel too great, but Rick was fine.
We got a taxi to our Airbnb, which is a small hotel. The traffic in the centr al Victoria was intense! Whe we pick up rental car tomorrow Rick’s going stay the hell out of that area.
We arrived at the hotel to find that there was some confusion about our booking. The owner’s daughterwho’s in Germany, accepted our booking, but apperntly didn’t communicate it effectively with her mother that runs the hotel.. The woman checking us in said the owner will talk to us tomorrow and get it all sorted out. I hope there isn’t going to be a problem.
The hotel is on a hill overlooking Victoria, the capital of Seychelles. Here’s a nighttime view of the harbor
We relaxed for a while before going out to dinner at the restaurant associated with the hotel. It got very high ratings on Tripadvisor and was excellent. It was a prix fixe and we got a lot of food. Red snapper withan unique sauce, tuna served with a creole chutney, chicken curry, batter dipped white fish and eggplant things that were good, but I can;t name. Everything was delicious! Especially to Rick.
We retired to our apartment and headed to sleep.
Here’s our route for today
