Yesterday's clouds hadn't left the sky: in fact, visitors could expect the odd spot of rain today. Not that the temperature had dropped, rising one degree to 28 celsius - or 82 degrees Fahrenheit ( Read more... )

Everyone is in hillside pool villas, where small private swimming pools, veranda with sun loungers and open-air pavilion invite you to let the world pass by while spending leisurely days taking in the glorious views of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding rain forest. Thoughtful details such as the submerged 'couple seat' in the private dip pool, and an indoor sunken bathtub make up this romantic haven for two. Or kind of awkward, depending on your roommate relationship.

Natalie, perfectly social creature that she was, was having room service breakfast. But, with a guide book in hand! She was intending to go on the discovery drive today (because museums), and she was trying to pick a nice place to go have dinner tonight.

Of course neither of those were particularly social things to do, either, but she didn't care.

The Banyan Tree offers a variety of options, from Thai cuisine at Saffron to Creole at Chez Lamar to in-villa room service!

Visit the spice gardens on the resort property. They're perfect for a leisurely stroll and extend for 15 acres.

Hop aboard the catamaran for a post-breakfast pre-dinner island hopping cruise! Made up of small islands, many of which are untouched and possessing its unique charm, the Seychelles is perfect for island-hopping.

At the Seychelles, nature always takes centre stage; some islands are bird sanctuaries, while others offer the spectacle of century-old giant tortoises roaming free in their natural environment. Most are uninhabited, giving you the feeling of being a million miles from anywhere.

I am so, so cold right now. But since I can't be on a tropical vacation, I guess I'll settle for music by my cheery countrymen instead. (Why, yes, link chosen for inherent wrongness of both song and the terrible animation. Oh, the Vengaboys.)

(Also in my experience, yes, there will always be a miniature rainstorm if you decide to barbecue on a tropical island. Always.)
