There we are, we said our goodbyes to cap Ternay and to most of the 10-weekers. It is really hard to say goodbye, I really feel left behind. I have made some incredible friends over the past 10weeks, and they have all made my experience here unforgettable. Some goodbyes are harder than others, and make me tear up. I have decided to take all the emotions in and let myself go, even though it may sometimes feel like a roller-coaster. So yes, I teared up saying goodbyes to some people, but I am so so so thankful for the nice memories and I have no regrets at all after these past 10 weeks. I am now on to a new adventure in Beau Vallon, and it should be amazing.
On Wednesday evening we had a lovely christmas party on camp. One of the Seychelles National Park manager had cooked a creole feast for us and decorated the whole room. It was absolutely incredible and delicious. We ended up, I'm not sure how, doing jump rope in the middle of our kitchen, and I have to admit it was the most fun I have had in a long time.
Thursday was a big camp clean and packing day. After that, some of the girls headed to the 5-stars resort down the road (well, 45 minutes away really) and we spent the whole day lounging at the beach and we all treated ourselves to delicious burgers and even enjoyed the pool next to the restaurant. An amazing last afternoon near Port Launay with some of the greatest people.
And on Friday we all moved out. It was extremely sad, but we are now all moved into our next houses/apartments in Beau Vallon and are ready for new adventures. Below are some pictures of our new house and the Blue Sea dive shop we work at. We have started right away and it has been pretty laid back so far. They speak a lot in French and creole, and 50% of the clients are French. We have all had a lot of fun on the boat going really fast, well at least much faster than good ol' Manta. Everyone is very nice and we've had a good time so far. I already got to ride in the back of the truck like a true Seychellois! We have started our Rescue Diver course and should be done by the end of the week!
I cannot believe I'm not even halfway done with my time here. Although now, we are part of the country. The locals have stopped starring at us. We met some friends of our local friends, and they said they already knew we were living here and not tourists because we are much more relaxed in our attitude.
