La Digue east and north coast by bike
(Please click on a picture to enlarge it)
|
|
| Today I will explore the east and the north coast of the island, by bike. I start taking a picture of some typical fruit: on the left, a breadfruit, on the right: banana. |
 |
| On the way, I see an ox cart carrying people on the island. |
 |
 |
| I drive for about 5 chilometers, until the road ends and is replaced by huge blocks of granite. |
 |
 |
| I take a short walk between the rocks, where there are a lot of fossilized form of life. On the right, a mollusc, still living. | |
 |
| A dolphin swims in deeper waters. |
 |
 |
| On the way back, I relax for a copule of hours at Anse Patates, a beautiful beach with several rocks and many coconut trees. |
 |
 |
| Although the overcast sky, the colors of the water is still very saturated. | |
 |
 |
 |
Finally, I explore a trail inside the forest in the center of the island. The vegetation is very dense and would be very difficult to hike outside the maintaned trail. |
