Another day, another beach

After a brief rest at Kikambala Church, we walked down to the beach again, this time Milk the Bottle Bar further north from Sun’n’Sand and North Coast, for a late afternoon swim. Maggy needed some encouragement (it’s OK, I didn’t drop her in).

A local kid helps to bury Jacob in the sand.

Sadly we discovered this beach has rock close in which was excruciating to walk on, so we just floated for a while. The sun was going down.

Back at the church, the house roof was nearly finished.

Lunch at Boko Boko

So, does lunch really deserve its own post? At Boko Boko Seychelles Restaurant it does! A wonderful ambience, tremendous welcome, delicious food, and interesting company…

Maggy and Panda (the dog)

One of 3 giant tortoises – they sit in the pools to keep cool.

Tickle me under the chin mama!

What do you mean, phone home?

Back in the restaurant for coffee before we take a matatu to Kikambala.

Life’s a beach…

After inspecting the works and enjoying a fine lunch, we were joined by Maggy and took a walk to the beach. On the way we passed a “family of three” baobab tree.

First stop, 500m along the beach, is North Coast Beach Hotel, with its beach bar. Mango and passion juice all round.

Meld and I swam, the water has as hot as a bath, and from the water we saw two horses being ridden along the water’s edge. Mandatory photo for Bridget!

Relaxing after the swim.

Then we strolled back, passing the fragrant frangipan trees.

We were back in good time for All Saints’ Day mass, where Joe told his parishioners that the house had to be finished before we go home so that we can spend a night under it roof.
