Seychelles Islands BBQ Experience
It's a very beautiful viewpoint. When I got here, I couldn't find the difference between the sea and the sky. They both have the same light blue color. Good Morning! We're staying at the Mahé island, Actually, We came back to the Mahé island today, This is our day five of staying here. And I must tell you that, We came to see a beautiful place early in the morning today. As you can see, The whole place is surrounded by trees, And they are very huge trees.
You can hear the birds chirp. There's no one here, It's a very peaceful place. This is the Mission Lounge of the Mahé Island. Earlier, it was known as the Venn's Town. It is a destination in Seychelles which has a tremendous historical value, You can see the ruins of old buildings, their walls, bricks, and everything if you visit here. You can witness how they created them in the past.
Most of them have become ruins by now. And the other special thing is that, In 1972, Queen Elizabeth II had tea at this Mission Lounge premise. At the first viewpoint we went, We couldn't find the difference between the sea and the sky in that view.
I mean, It was so blue, so beautiful, And surrounded by the sea. You can also see the coastal area from that viewpoint. If you visit Mahé, And if you want to see a beautiful view from an amazing viewpoint, You must come to the Mission Lounge. Let's take a walk inside and see. You wouldn't want to leave this place, As I mentioned, It's so calm here. There are so many ancient trees here.
Okay then, Let's take a walk. Like I said before, I'm at the place where Queen Elizabeth II drank tea. From this viewpoint, I can see the whole coastline of this side of the Mahé island.
And it's a very beautiful view. As you can see, the sea and the sky are the same color. It's so beautiful, The water in the sea does not even move. This is a very beautiful viewpoint. We came to the La Misere viewpoint, It has a beautiful city view like this, Along with the port.
A beautiful view like this could be seen from here. And with that, If you can see the small mountain over there, We wish to go there before we leave. We have a beautiful view like this here, isn't it Elina? Tell them to look. Look over there.
It started raining today, You might see some red roofs over there, It's an artificial island. And that artificial island has both houses and hotels there. The port is behind me, It started raining in the morning when we were on our way, And now it's drizzling again, Our next stop is Spicy Gardens, Let's go there and see how it looks. This place has many trees that Sri Lankans are familiar with, Starting from coconut, It has nutmegs, cinnamons, alocasia, And the normal things that we see in our backyards, Like banana trees, roosters, avacados, pomelos, limes All these things are here. And it's so beautiful. This is a place that is worth to visit.

Not just that, This garden also provides residence for various flowers, birds, and giant tortoises as well. If you dedicate two hours of your time, Not only you can explore this garden, but also enjoy the fragrance of the spice-producing trees.
