October 17, 2014 (Praslin, Seychelles)

This morning I had another great but unhealthy breakfast. I had fruit, and a big Nutella banana crepe. After breakfast we headed to our Kia where we would drive to the Vallee de Mai National Park. As soon as we got there we met our tour guide Miriam. As soon as we started we both got to hold a Coco De Mer. The Coco De Mer is only found on Praslin island and is the world's heaviest and largest nut. The Coco De Mer can live to be 250 years old. At age 7 it forms a trunk, until then you can count how many leaves it has to tell how old it is. Also when we were on the tour we saw big black an orange spiders, geckos, and lizards. But my favorite part about the tour was seeing the Black Parrot. The Black Parrot is only found on Praslin and once in a while on Curios island. There are only 500-900 Black Parrots in the world, all found only on this island.

We then decided to go to a different beach besides the beach at the hotel, it was the same one Mom went to on her bike ride, Anse Luiz. Going over there though was very steep we tried going up it in second but it wouldn't make it. When we got there it was so beautiful! There was crystal clear water that was warm, and super fine white sand. The beach is one of the top ranked beaches in the world. While we were swimming we met this couple who gave us crackers to feed to the fish. It was very fun! I would simply stick my fingers out with a little bit of a cracker then the fish would try to nip it from my hands. At lunch I had delicious chicken burger and a milkshake. After lunch we went back to the beach were we made a sand castle and swam.

When we were back at the room I went strait into the private plunge pool. It felt very nice to get all the salt water off me. Later that night we went to dinner at the pool house restaurant. I had the buffet and at the end some sorbet not from the buffet. The sorbet was delicious, I had one scoop of Lime and one scoop of Mango. Later, after dinner I did my blog and went to bed.
