Moyenne Island

Moyenne Island is to the North Coast  of Mahe.It is small almost a kilometer big.It is owned by an English newspaper editor Brendon Grishaw who bought it in the 1970s.Our guide told us that he(Brendon) found  graves there of unknown people and he believed there were treasures.He wanted to explore it and find them on his own, but until today he hasn't found any.

 Brendon is the only inhabitant in the Island.He keeps giant toortoises and the island has all its flora and fauna natural.We fed the agualife with bread when we got to the marine national park.They have a craving for the loaf.The coral-reefs were so beautiful,my camera couldn;t zoom them clearly enaf and the water vicinity coulnt allow a nice shot.Disembarking was again somewhere near the cliff,we got wet but we were happy.

We were astonished by the giant tortoises in the place.I  had a chance to get friendly with one as i sipped my welcoming drinkWe played around with them before we embarked on the  excursion. We followed our guide as she explained all about the tortoises.I learned the males have a concave chest bone while the females have a flat one.
After that we parted ways:those who were going snorkeling left while the rest continued with the nature walk.We opted for the walk*did i hear somebody say water phobia*.We  walked round the whole island and hungry were us after the almost kilometer walk round a not marked forest.We settled at a site on the sand beaches took our bites and swam as we waited for lunch.
 Lunch was served,it was delicious.My best was the dessert;lemon grass tea with a piece of cake.We had like two hours before embarking on our return leg.We headed for swimming while most of the group chose sun tanning!How could we tan!(Alek Wek is my competition),we were the only four Africans #noracist in the group.

Everything was fun,thanks to the low tide the boat couldn't even near the cliff and we had to be helped by small motor boats to get to the main boat.We left for Mahe satisfied and happy,till next time another Island.
