Dinner at Le Meridien Hotel Mahe Seychelles

Mahe, Seychelles

I slept an anxious sleep last night thinking about having to leave this ship, this lifestyle and having to return to work and the bitter cold of NYC. We had to vacate our cabin by 8am and the ship by 10am, so the time between was spent eating and acting sad.  At 10am we reluctantly […]

Praslin, Seychelles & Last Day on the Silver Wind

Our last full day on the Silver Wind 🙁  The ship did try to make it to Le Digue again this morning but it was still unsafe so we were again anchored off of Praslin. As we had already explored this island, we were a bit lost as to what to do. We talked to […]

Vallée de Mai & Anse Lazio

Today we were set to anchor off of Le Digue, a remote island in the Seychelles, but the surf was too large to safely operate the tender boats to land. We would therefore be anchored off of Praslin and attempt to go to Le Digue tomorrow. Praslin is famous for nature reserve and UNESCO site […]

Yesterday though, somewhere between lunch and napping, we had caught a lecture on the Maldives and […]

Our Trivia Team on the Silver Wind = Hilarious Old Brits + Us

Another day at see….fantastic. The rest of the day was lunch, a nap and team trivia. Our old British team never wins, or even gets 2nd or 3rd place, but I think we definitely have the best team. All of our teammates are these hilarious rich Brits and we seem to spend more time laughing than […]

Lunch in dining room on the Silver Sea SilverWind

Sun and Sushi Aboard the Silver Wind

Today was a restful day at sea and thanks to me no longer taking the malerone, I felt worlds better. The waves were higher than they ever had been, about 2m, so Dave was feeling a bit sea sick and got some pills down in the shop. Laying down seemed to improve things so we […]

Sick in India (but not from India)

Sometimes things don’t go as planned when traveling.  Sickness can not be avoided, and often times the medication or vaccines that we take to help prevent sickness are the things that end up making us ill!  Malaria is no joke and malarone is a great medication for many people…but, it turns out, not for me.
