i didn't feel like sleeping when we got to the house, i just wanted to get out and explore, so that night we went and met up with janes freinds in a pizzeria along the beach. the waitress made me and mum laugh! she went up to a table where a middle aged couple were siting but they hadn't decided what they wanted yet. Hearing this the waitress made a huge sigh and stompped off to get somebody else to serve them. we couldn't help laughing.
After eating a large pizza and garlic bread we went to a small market place selling all kinds of things. we saw the sky turn orange and the sun set for the night. It was only 7:30 but i was so exsahusted we went home and back to sleep.

Travel
you take travel as it comes really.Traffic,hold ups,delays. They usually come as part of the packege. However, Mum said she could tell people had been praying for us as we got off the coach at gatwick airport without experiancing any of the above.
the airport wasn't crowded and there were no lomg queues (for us anyway) It was so easy.
we checked in our bags and strolled around the airport for a couple of hours waiting for our gate to open.
At around 6 o'clock we were boarding onto the plane.
the large airport soon turned into a miniture city that looked as if we could pick it up in one hand. we flew through black clouds until they just looked like layers of candyfloss below us. It took us just an hour before we touched back to earth. We were in Italy's capital city, just waiting to be up in the air again.
It didnt take long for the plane to be refuled and we were soon jetting up the runway.
Dinner was served to us around 10pm and then i decided it was time to sleep... 5 in the morning i awoke and was served breakfast almost straight away.
11 hours later i looked out of the window and saw a mass of sea inches below us and small islands every where. the plane curved and here we were, stepping onto new ground.
we were greeted be jane and her husband, stephen. hugs and smiles were passed and we knew we were welcomed.
The car - now that was fun! it was an old car that only worked with a strugle. and the roads were tough. steepest roads i had ever seen. and soon the cars gears stopped working so we were stranded out side citimart supermarket. After a few phone calls we finally got through to Jane (who had been in another car) who came to pick us up. as we drove up the hills it felt like the car would topple over as they were so steep.
we arrived at the house. a big house with double front doors. tiled floor every where and a sense of home about it. we were here at long last!

Build up
i was all excited about a school cruise happening in 2010 down the river Nile.it sounded great! a week of being with my friends and looking at another part of the world.
so how did i end up coming to the seychelles instead? ... well the cruise was cancelled and my mum had all this money she was saving up over the last year. also my mum has a friend in the seychelles (jane) so add the two together and here we are. surrounded be mountains and sea. white sand and blue skies. here in the middle of it all. i dont think either of us can still quite believe we made it this far.
