Italian honeymoon couples
Luna di miele alle Seychelles is italian for honeymoon in the Seychelles.

Moët & Chandon
Sipping Champagne
This evening after our Praslin round trip (September 27th) we found a bottle of Moët & Chandon on our hotel room. A very pleasant surprise. Initially we thought it was offered by the Acajou hotel management to make up for their bad service. But there was no card or note anywhere, so I decided to call the reception to ask why we got this bottle of champagne.
The receptionist told me it was a offered to us. I asked her who had offered it and then she told us it was from our travel agent It’s Africa back in Holland. I guess the hotel “forgot” to add that note…
Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed the champagne!

Snorkeling at Beau Vallon
Tuesday September 23rd, our 2nd day on Mahé. Good start of our honeymoon. In the morning we decided to go snorkeling just around the corner of the beach. Surrounded by huge granite rocks we found the perfect place. Quickly we changed into our swimming suits and plunged into the warm water. Soon we found the first yellow, tropical fishes, and as we swam further we saw more and more beautiful fishes in all sorts of colours and the recovering coral (tsunami).
Backpack gone!
When we got back we discovered that one of our backpacks (with mobile phone) was gone. The other one with some money in it was still there. Also missing were some shorts and flip-flops. How annoying that was! Here we were in paradise, and the first snorkeling occassion leads to a stolen backpack
