Following a tip off from someone who has a much better ‘Nation dealer’ than me, I find out that there’s an ad for a place to rent in Glacis, right location, right price, right nice by the sounds of it. I immediately call and arrange an appointment.
Trying not to get too excited again, we chat though to a couple of people and turns out that it may be a place next door to one of the newbies (it’s hard to keep up as she moves a lot!). So we get some insider info and also peace of mind that there may be someone around to get lifts from if (WHEN) the car breaks down.
Driving to our appointment, we take the right by the Indian shop after the Hilton, climb up a steep hill, take a sharp turn and continue climbing and dipping and climbing – I can’t believe how far back these roads go. We call the landlady up and she instructs us to keep on climbing and we do and eventually we bear left and on our right are the apartments, reached via a short steep drive. Wonderbar.
Straight away we’re struck by the view. This is Seychelles. The shimmering Indian Ocean , clear blue skies and lush curvaceous coastline. We’re near sold already…
Venturing in, it’s a cool ice cube with white floor tiles and white walls with a view out from the living room and kitchen. At the back are two double bedrooms and one bathroom. It’s more bijou than our current place but sooooo much more homely and light. We want it. We make all the right noises and hope that the school can come back to us as soon as possible to confirm – she wants someone in straightaway.
