The Grandfather

Backyard Bouldering

 Just some boulders in the backyard, no big deal.  A couple nice little problems to work on right out the back door-- or at least what was our door on Praslin island.  We climbed em because they were there.  Located off a road to a village called Zimbabwe - of course.  Obviously I still have some more work to do on the second problem.  Guess we need to go back!

The Perfect Island Cottage

The perfect island cottage.   With a perfect island view.  And of course there's a stone beach with an ample supply of throwing stones.   The island in March.

Aldabra Giant Tortoise

 Aldabra Giant Tortoise.  Aldabrachelys gigantea.
