The big island II

Lans Angle, Mahe, Seychelles

Another tropical day has come to an end, and so has my journey throughout the Seychelles archipelago.
I am spending my last days here before my flight back to Norway and the darkness of the winter which will still be getting even darker for 3 more weeks before the days finally, albeit very slowly, brighten a bit each day.

Here the sun is setting between two small satellite islands off the coast of Mahe. The island seen to the left is Therese, undeveloped, but not untouched by humans as it is littered with coconut trees that once replaced the endemic tree species here. It has an amazing beach facing the east, but as with where I stand, the west of Therese is very rocky!

The island seen to the right is Conception – a beachless rock almost inaccessible to boats. It has recently been declared a nature reserve.
