Bullock ride to the vanilla plantation, with our driver Richard, and his children hop on at the gate to the plantation.
Rocks, swim, lunch, turtles in an enclosure, vanilla – we buy some vanilla.
Walking back through town we see a big funeral – people in their best clothes riding their bike and walking to the church. The whole island seems to be going.
Then onto a small boat for swimming with Turtles in the marine park (too much sun!)
Fish: blue and yellow ones like Dory, parrot fish on the bottom, tiny blue ones, big silver ones, enormous light grey with a dark grey stripe.
Boat captain swims over towards rocks and catches a small turtle and brings it back for us to see.
Both feel a bit dizzy off the boat – which persists – Jeannie think it is more jet lag than sea sickness.
Ferry back to Praslin – no bus! Seven seaters again to get us back – fast shower and out again to dinner at Breeze Gardens restaurant – restaurant transfer to and from!
