Our flight to Seychelles was excellent on Emirates ( as usual ).

The Purser was Craig Fernandes & the SFS was Amal Rajendran...my old pals from Cabin Crew Service Center..

Topless women are more the rule than the exception...

Things were looking up already.

Both of them kindly spoke to the Captain for permission for us to come in the crew bus with them to go to the hotel. We were all in the same hotel. Of course the captain agreed.

So we arrived in Seychelles on a Friday noon. Gentle breeze was blowing when we walked out of the airport terminal.

The airport is small. Reminded me of some of the bungalows you see in Hindi Movies. We cleared fast and were soon on our way to the hotel.

I was a bit disappointed with the hotel - BerjayaBeau Vallon Bay Beach Resorts & Casino (check my review).But then hey we did not come this far to just stay in our room.

The beach was simply outta dis world.

Topless women are more the rule than the exception .hahaha.We whiled away on the beach for a good 2 hours before we came back to the hotel reception to see if we can arrange a city tour. They asked us to check with the tour agent. He was not in his seat and no one knows when he was expected. Anyways, we met a nice gentleman by name Alan who kindly agreed to take us round the city for 20USD per hour. By the way his "taxi" was a Nissan X-Trail.

So off we went on our tour. Something you need to know about the Seychelles is that just about everything is closed by 5pm.. But we realized it too late...Yeah! Our fault…but still, I'd say we enjoyed the sights...
