When visiting the Seychelles, we usually think of big granite rocks, palm trees and breathtakingly beautiful beaches. And the beaches on the small island La Digue are said to be the most beautiful of all.

We had two days with three dives each to get a picture of the situation. The water was much cooler than at Nosy Be/Madagascar.

The later the evening, the louder the croaking of the frogs. But what kind of frogs?

Aquarium technology, pond care or terrarium lighting: when is the next workshop taking place near you? What are the current trends?

Our team wanted to obtain biotope data which would show them first hand how our well-known terrarium animals, such as the endemic chameleon species or the beautiful day geckos live.

But our SUV convoy of five vehicles driving in close succession reminded us of FBI convoys in action movies. And you don't want to attack that sort of convoy!
