La Digue Quick Island Visit.

We popped over to La Digue for about 2 hours. Took a couple of photos and then back to Mahe. All too short.

My No 1 on the trip.......

1 Month today since last post

1 month today since last post.  Not that there has been nothing to write about. Just the usual lazy me.  There is heaps that has been going on.  Been working and things going really well on that front. Been on holiday back to Seychelles. Now back in Accra.  You can see from the new Blog top photo.  Life in the fast lane.... Seychelles in particular being in and around La Digue tends to bring out the slower pace of life in ones inner self.....

Tortoise are great creatures.  Just seem to lumber along and eat. Leave a bit of a pong behind I might add. I think I could learn from them. Stop running and being the Hare...... Perhaps I should think a bit more on this last sentence !!!!!!!

We had 10 days in Seychelles now back in Accra. Time well spend.  Caught up with a lot of people and also had time so see my architect for the new house plans etc. More on that later. So time well spend indeed.  What else did we do. ate and relaxed. That's was the sum total of it all.  So a few photos to show island life....

Something else.  Jane a friend of mine in Thailand writes a regular Blog.  By regular I mean frequently. Often filled with simple observations on day to day life. Gives a really good insight to things.  I notice I leave stuff for too long and then play catch up. Need to take leaf out of her Blog (pun intended) and learn from her.  So Jane if you are reading this take note. And Thanks. I do observe occasionally.

Good Parking

We pass this parking site every day going to and from the house.  Actually is is a private parking outside a guys house. His own parking spot.

Main difference this one has it that he is a taxi driver and parks just off the road with an amazing back droop about 6 inch past his rear wheel.  How he does this on a  daily basis is beyond me.  I took a few photos to show you and as record for me.  If he reversed back just a bit more he has a 3 meter drop.....

Little ones

Just had to take a few photos of my Grand Daughter. Sitting with Wanna both of them having a snack.....

Mathilde followed this up with a quick nap !!!!!  Wanna I think had a cold beer.......

Seychelles and more relaxing times

And some more coastal scenes. Another good trip.

No idea who the tourists are........

Seychelles Saturday Afternoon....

Been lazy, sitting around waiting on our visas to come through to go to Ghana.  On returning last week from La Digue to Mahe we have just been sitting around drinking a few cold beers and taking road trips.

In fact full on island style is easy, just being very lazy. Lull before the storm perhaps. Actually I am quite excited to visit Ghana. It is a fascinating place with a rich history, lots of culture and now has a booming economy. Wanna is counting the hours and the days to get out there and plans to visit the local markets etc.  Me, I want to learn a bit about African drums and drum beats.....

So over the last few days we have been given a chance to relax and do a few trips around the coast. It has also given me time to follow up on our house restoration in La Digue as the Architect is Mahe based as is the contractor.  Also done some window shopping for house goods.  And that is it.  Lazy lazy  but do fine time for a few hours each day on the guitar.  Slow strumming Island style..... Way to go.... Must close off, written enough for one day... got a lot of lazy things to catch up on....☝
