Lake Titicaca

Nov 5, 2010May 19, 2021 Travel & ShitLeave a comment

At 3820m, some say it's the highest navigable lake in the world. Some say that's a load of bollocks but whatever, when you're travelling from Peru to Bolivia (or vice versa) Lake Titicaca is a handy place to cross the border and it'd be rude not to check out the islands on the way for [...]

Older Shit

Stalk me in a socially acceptable manner on Instagram

Me: I'm totally going to put my phone away and enjoy this sunset with my eyeholes.
We rented a car for the last couple of days in The Seychelles so we could get more shit done without relying on bus schedules. We checked out thevtea factory which was interesting but they wanted Rs90 for a cup of tea. That's over a fiver. I know The Seychelles is expensive but I have to draw the line somewhere and a £5 cup of tea is it.
I went diving again the other day and had a wonderful time pointing my face at fish in various colours whilst still not having a fucking clue what to call them. Apart from the batfish. I know what a batfish looks like. These guys were swimming right up to us and chasing our bubbles before realising they didn't like the bubbles at all then repeating the entire three seconds several times.
It hasn't been too stressful since we got to Mahé. We visited the Takamaka rum distillery which I'm not too sure my liver will forgive me for but it was a great way to kill a few hours before sprawling by the pool.
Ah, La Digue. The epitome of chill. An island of very few vehicles, most of which are electric. So how does everyone get around this little slice of paradise? Fucking bicycles. I knew there had to be a trade off, I fucking hate bicycles. Half an hour on one of those bastards and I feel like I've been kicked in the arse by an angry donkey. It is, however, the most efficient way to see the island so sorry, buttocks, it had to happen.
Fuck off great big tortoises are a thing that exist in The Seychelles, they're originally from the Aldabra atoll I believe but people have been keeping them as pets for years. If you jump on a boat to Curieuse Island you can see them in the wild. Well, semi wild I guess. They mostly hang out around the sanctuary bring fed leaves and getting chin scratches off tourists. You do see them chilling in the mangroves though, and wandering along the footpaths. They have the run of the island. I say run. I mean plod.
