Tourist Trap: Ox cars
  • Tip Rating:
  • Long before we went to La Digue, I read about the fact, that there were no cars but only bicycles and ox vehicles. That sounded very romantic to me.

    Well, unfortunately I succeeded to convince my husband to join one of these ox vehicles on our arrival and must say, that the tremendous high price ruined my romantic feelings very quickly! (We paid approx. Euro 10,- for just 300 metres) That was definitely not worth this price at all!

    It is certainly somewhat of an experience (a good one???) - but after having been "trapped ", I must say, looking one of these ox vehicles is probably already sufficient and enough of "experience" ... ?!

    At Least Do This: I you can't resist (like me) - ask how far they will take you (or how long) and try to bargain a bit!
    Alternative: On our depart, we carried (pulled) our luggage to the port.

     Thank you so much, I read your sandflea story whilst I was scratching away - just got back from Praslin and these nasty bites appears, 20 on each leg and up my arm, also with an allergic reaction - its off to the doctor for me - thanks again!
