With nothing better to do we decided to go up – up to Trois Freres. It’s not that we don’t have anything to do but we love getting out-of-town when we have the chance. As our friends, Bob and Elaine,
Bob and Elaine
had a car we suggested a stroll up the path to the 438 metre high Trois Freres mountain that looks down on our anchorage and over the town of Victoria.
Most of the boats you see at anchor here belong to locals
We climbed and climbed and had some great views over the islands. The day was perfect with a strong breeze blowing and with added increase in height the temperature was perfect – about 28C.
We only made it 2/3rds of the way as Elaine was recovering from a bout of the flu and we didn’t quite make it to the top. We’ll save that for later. We were taken with the view and can hardly wait to make it to the top to see both sides of the island.
Connie at the highest point we reached
Tony at the highest point we reached
On our way down we met a few wild creatures providing a little fun with the camera. We’re quite happy there are no threatening animals in the Seychelles other than tourists like ourselves
Found on the path
And a spider or two stringing webs across the path to catch tourists
Of course, with all the energy expended getting up and down the mountain a stop at The Station is mandatory.
The Station Spa and Hotel
The Station Hotel is beautifully situated at the beginning of the trail to Trois Freres – it’s too tempting a spot to miss. Beautiful views over the town and a very relaxed atmosphere makes it a great place for a coffee or a meal after the hike.
The lounge dining area has a great mural map of Mahe
A great example of the indigenous Coco de Mer – a palm only found in the Seychelles

Good one you barnacles… do get back up to top Trois Freres. Oh and Tony, Louise is right so maybe ‘licking’ spiders is where you might stop mate. Haha.
