In which I make friends with a tortoise and wade in the Indian Ocean...

 Victoria, Mahe, Seychelles

Here's the DH's montage from our day in the Seychelles. Yes, I make friends with a giant tortoise. Yes, I dip my toes in the Indian Ocean. And yes, the DH discovers a rather "ladylike" nut that's endemic to the island! 


Still having so much fun!

  1. Is the nut edible?

    1. I guess they are. There are some boutique companies that use it as flavoring in ice cream, flan, breads and such. Celice said the interior is not like a regular coconut. No water, no interior you can consume raw or shredded. It's more gelatinous and is more often used in perfumes and Chinese medicine as a cure for cough.
