In October Simon headed out to the Seychelles Islands to write and photograph a location piece for Asian Geographic and Scuba Diver Australasia, he was lucky enough to stay in some of the finest resorts in the world, go snorkelling with a Whale Shark off Mahe and explore an 

A Giant Tortoise

 The most impressive resort he visited was North Island Resort (www.north-island.com), with Giant Tortoises wandering the gassy paddock in the middle of the island and Sea Turtles laying their eggs on the beach at night it truly was a wonderful experience.

 

Upon returning from the Seychelles he continued his web development work on www.gilicat.com. Gilicat is a luxury boat transport between Bali, Lombok and Gili Trawangan.  My understanding is that it has the best safety features of any boat doing this route and is the only one operating a daily service weather permitting.  Many people who stay at the luxury resorts such as Vila Almerik and Vila Ombak will enjoy this luxury comfortable and most importantly fast service to Trawangan, even going by plane/car takes several hours, Gilicat gets you there in an hour from Padang Bai.
