Luxury has its end🥲
We enjoyed one last delicious breakfast at our hotel before leaving the island of Praslin. We took a taxi to the harbor and from there, the ferry to 'Bicycle Island' La Digue....

Once the initial shock of our new accommodation wore off, we borrowed two bicycles and explored the surrounding area a bit.🚲 During our ride, we discovered a small cove with crystal blue water, and we went for a swim right there.🏊🏻♀️ On the way back, the steep path to our accommodation pushed us to our limits. Even Yannick struggled with it, but bravely took both bicycles.💪🏻 And since the intense incline wasn't enough for us, we had the idea to hike to a sunset spot to watch the sunset. We spoke it into existence. Along the way, we found a nice lookout platform, but afterward, the trail became increasingly wild and rocky. And when we were besieged by a swarm of mosquitoes (despite using mosquito spray), we quickly gave up and turned back. Nevertheless, we caught a glimpse of the sunset at one point, which even showed a little piece of rainbow.🌈 Dinner consisted of a small buffet (rice, meat, fish, vegetables, salad), which was surprisingly delicious. Afterward, we learned that it's not a good idea to turn on the light in our room when it's dark outside.😱 All sorts of critters (including mosquitoes, unfortunately) find their way inside (which isn't hard with all the holes in the wood).🫣 At least we have a mosquito net over the bed and hope to get some sleep despite the 'wild accommodation' and the announcement that the rooster would crow very early in the morning.😴💤
