Praslin Travel Blogs

Background: A lengthy struggle between France and Great Britain for the islands ended in 1814, when they were ceded to the latter. Independence came in 1976. Socialist rule was brought to a close with a new constitution and free elections in 1993. The most recent presidential elections were held in 2001; President RENE, who had served since 1977, was re-elected. In April 2004 RENE stepped down and Vice President James MICHEL was sworn in as president.

Janet has been nagging for years for a trip to the Seychelles, so finally I relented and she got to go for her birthday. Air Seychelles had a great special, and after a bit of nagging they finally issued the tickets. The plan was to spend a few days on Mahe somewhere really luxurious, such as Banyan Tree, and then go self catering. Our dates though coincided with the European and French holidays, so most places were full. Eventually I got the Hilton Northolme Resort and Spa for the second part. The first weekend was a lot more difficult, and we [View Full Entry]

As you read this, we should be on our way back to Shanghai...or already in Shanghai. Back to some reality, and to the stressful world. But before this, here are 3 more days of wonderful happiness. After the Banyan Tree on Mahe, we made our way to the Lemuria Resort on Praslin Island...you can get there by helicopter, flight or boat...we took the slow way, with the fast boat. The Lemuria has two very attractive point...the first, it is a member of Relais & Chateaux...which means we should eat pretty well. The second is a very nice and wellknown golf course.

Well, we are in the beautiful Seychelles! We arrived yesterday at 8 am and I was on the beach by 10! I had planned to do research all day but there was not a single internet cafe open on a Sunday! I swam and enjoyed the sunshine for a couple of hours and then it was back to the boat to study for midterms! The island is really beautiful. The water is crystal clear and we're surrounded by mountains. Surprisingly, the area is not touristy at all. In fact, we had trouble finding something for lunch yesterday. We had our equator [View Full Entry]

It’s hard to believe that I’m in the final month of my three month placement here in the Seychelles. Time has passed quickly especially since my family, Guylaine, Jonathan and Michelle joined me here one month ago. My time off is time on for them as we tour the beautiful beaches, forests and waters of these wonderful islands together. We are now living on the island of Praslin, 40 km from the main island of Mahe, where I am replacing the rector of the parish, Rev. Bryan, who is in England on a training course for three weeks. For over a [View Full Entry]
