Seychelles - First impressions

The sea is a lovely blue and sands are a lovely white but the heat radiating off this lovely white sand is like hell fire

The ocean around the islands is far saltier than any other I've encountered

The tides change in a strange way - I'm used to low tide during the day and high tide in the evening but here the tide would rise and fall a few times within an hour

Things are expensive - or at least they seem to be for this South Asian traveller. I don't recall paying LKR12,500 for a meal anywhere else 😲

There don't seem to be a lot of people in the country - never encountered crowds on any of the islands

Public transportation and taxis are few and far between

Everyone is totally relaxed - so much so that driving along with a good song blasting over the radio and a beer in hand is not an uncommon sight

Street lights haven't made their way to many parts but walking around by torchlight isn't too scary

Food is tasty and portions are generous but there isn't much variety for a tropical island
