Seychelles: Beau Vallon Beach
This is a historic journal, from our trip to Kenya and Seychelles in 1986, taken from notes I wrote at the time. Apologies for the poor quality photographs.

Coral Strand Hotel
The hotel is situated with direct access to the glorious beach, and we have a side view of the ocean from our room.

After the early mornings and long days last week, we take it easy today, just lazing around the pool most of the day.
I am tempted to learn to dive, but in the end I chicken out.
The day quickly goes by with snoozing on a sunbed, enjoying a cocktail in the bar and taking a dip in the pool.
Topless sunbathing is the thing here, and a number of girls are doing it – not just the young ones either: every shape, size, age and level of firmness is represented here. Some appear to require a little ironing.
After watching the sun set over Beau Vallon Beach from our room, we go for dinner. The food is pleasant but not memorable.
