Seychelles Slideshow

This is the last Seychelles post. I promise. I just got the other photos yesterday so I just had to compile them into a nifty little slide show.

Last Day in Dubai

Guess the store?

Guess the restaurant?

Canopy to traditional stores.

The last day of vacation in Dubai.

Sadly my vacation came to an end and I had to return to my normal life. I am experiencing a little bit of depression. It's hard to go back to reality when you were enjoying yourself immensely on just a couple of weeks of holiday. I don't know if Air Force would like to pursue anything with me at this point, although I know he had a wonderful time on vacation too.

All good things must come to an end...

Thoughts...

This is what happiness looks like to me.

Seychelles Part III

The second part of our vacation was spent at an all-inclusive resort. But before we could check-in we had to wait at this Marina for a few hours for the ferry to pick us up. I ended up drinking waaaaayyy too many Long Island Ice Teas while we were waiting. (The incriminating photos are not on my camera.) Next week I will show you the very beautiful resort of Cerf Island.

Seychelles Part II

Along with hanging out on the beach, we were able to explore the entire island of Mahe, which is the main island of Seychelles. We rented a car and drove up both coasts and explored along the way.

Mission ruins

Parking lot at the mission ruins. It was a major clusterf**k.

All of the cars on the island looked like this.

Seychelles Part I

Seychelles is a beautiful place. Our first day there was absolutely perfect. The sky was clear, the water was blue and everything else was lusciously green. We stayed at a self-catering chateau. I loved this little place. All we had to do was walk out the door and the beach was a hop, skip and a jump away.

Back to Reality...

It is quite hard to be home after an amazing holiday. I find I am a little depressed today. I'm going to break up my photos this week so you have something to look forward to each day.

First up - Dubai, UAE. It was an interesting place to visit and a very diverse city too. You will see a little bit of everything there - lots of westerners and of course a lot of middle easterners too. (Below is just a little look at Dubai.)
