Seychelles Airport
Long-distance raids
"Seychelles? In which country? The operator asked when dialing 10086 to open an international roam.
"It's a country!"
"Which words?" The other party is very modest.
This one didn't study geography? I asked her to find it herself.
Thanks to Tuniu's arrangement, I had to fly to Hong Kong at my own expense and then transfer to Abu Dhabi. Worried about unexpected delays such as typhoons, it took 12 hours to fly to Hong Kong at 8 a.m. and Abu Dhabi at 7 p.m. Why not fly nonstop to Abu Dhabi? Presumably to save money. Hong Kong travels west, crossing the subcontinent in eight hours to Abu Dhabi. After 3 hours, fly south for 5 hours to reach the Seychelles.
I slept in fragments two or three times in 8 hours, each time not for more than an hour. When Abu Dhabi made a transfer, people were drowsy. After 5 hours, I slept completely for two hours, but it was extremely uncomfortable. 因为同属于阿提哈德航空，两顿航餐一模一样：一块鸡蛋羹，两寸长火腿肠，橙子两片，小面包一个。 Swallow it all, just in case, because I don't know where the next meal is.
Airports in island countries are rudimentary, and those in Mahe in the Seychelles are even smaller. However, small has small benefits. Descend the gangway and walk 100 meters into the terminal building to cross customs. Before leaving, I was told that the only person who knew Chinese had resigned. I saw a black woman holding a sign with my name. After hello, invite me to a small restaurant next to it to rest and take me to the pier at 9 o'clock.
I thought that these ten hours of tossing were about to end, but I didn't expect that there was still a level.
The cruise ship from Mahe to Praslin is small, carrying about two or three hundred people, divided into two floors. Ben wanted to enter the upper floor, but was politely rejected after checking the ticket. It turns out that the ticket price is expensive on the top, and the ordinary one is on the bottom. The upper floors cannot be entered casually.
When the boat first started, it ran smoothly. Immediately after leaving the port, it accelerates and flutters up and down with the waves. When the ship travels on the sea, it is like a car on the road, when the wind and waves are calm, it seems to be at high speed, and when the surge is surging, it becomes a machine ploughing road with a turbulent fart.

Soon, men and women covered their mouths and ran to the toilet at the stern, and the staff who had been prepared immediately handed over the vomit bags to avoid "live broadcasting". Halfway through the trip, I couldn't hold it a little, sweating on my forehead and my stomach was about to move. I never got motion sickness before. To divert attention, he staggered to the toilet once. I saw several men and women sitting on the deck, experiencing the feeling of vomiting to be pregnant.
Like a shipwreck, I kept my eyes glued to the surface, searching for possible harbors, trying to keep my brain cranky. After 70 minutes, the boat finally docked in the turquoise bay.

The pier was crowded and suitcases were unloaded on the pier. People claim their luggage, get in the car and leave. Seeing that the people had dispersed, and I was about to look for "Taxi" among the few black people who kept chanting "Rent car" (rental car), a tall, muscular black woman came and asked me for my name, and it turned out that she was the person I picked up from the travel agency, Creole.
