"Back in time" a La Digue Travel Page by kyoub

La Digue(pronounced La Deeg) is a charming island and more like what life in the Seychelles was like years ago.
The island is 32 miles from Mahe and 2 3/4 miles from Praslin.
There are well preserved colonial style houses, palm trees, air sented by tropical flowers, beautiful beaches, granite boulders, and a bird sanctuary for the endangered Seychelles black-paradise flycatcher.
Like the tourists, the 2,000 or so inhabitants use either oxcarts, bicycles, or minibus service to get around the island.

Sculpted by wind, rain, and sun, nature's materpieces adorn the beaches in La Digue. The natural granite boulders are amazing sights.

There is a magnificent 2-mile long beach that steps down from tumbled heaps of giant granite rocks. These rocks, one heaped on top of the other, seem as though they might fall down at any moment. They appear
either grey or pink, according to the angle of the sun.
