The birds are very friendly; you can almost take them from the nest with your hand in case their curiousity did not make them fall down already. The result: even if you drive very often, a full tank lasts four days. Our mini-moke served us for two days and transported us almost PPGI PPGL steel coil two times around the whole island. If you want to drive a mini-moke you will need garbage-bags, nerves made of steel and of course the above mentioned ear-plugs. Hiring a car is a must if it is your first time on the island and you want to enjoy the beauty of this place entirely. We filled up the tank completely (petrol) because I thought that this 25 year-old wreck will always stutter uphill with the first gear and use up the petrol in no time. Other funny fellas are Geckos (small lizards, mostly active at night), who are quite gluttonous and help you to keep the room free from vermin. It is strange but I do not like these animals. As big, as fast, as old as the turtles. The island is a nature reserve inhabited by some ornithologists who do a great job as tour-guides and provide an insight in the fauna corrugated steel sheet and island-history. Nerves made of steel help you to survive the first three hours on narrow mountain-roads with two deep sewage-ditches on every side and left-hand driving. In case I would be a philosopher, I would know which existencial question would bother me for the rest of my life.The tortoises had many things in common with the mini-mokes (vehicles which once must have been cars). I could not remember all the names of the birds but the picture-gallery contains some pictures of them. This car was one of the many highlights of our holiday?. Perhaps their alien facial expression makes me feel like that. Despite my mental preparation for the appearance called mini-moke I was shocked when I stood face to face with this cute monster.There is a remarkable animal, no, bird-paradise at the inner Seychelles. Respect! Somehow giant tortoises can be seen everywhere but only in captivity. Garbage-bags are used for putting them on the sweat-covered seats to avoid contact with the body-fluids of many, many people
