Forget your worries and picture this: you've snagged a table at the iconic Caffe degli Specchi ☕️, right in Piazza Unità d'Italia, often described as Europe's most stunning seaside square.

Imagine the gentle Adriatic breeze 🌊 while you sip a perfectly brewed Italian espresso – or, if you're like me and crave a summer pick-me-up, a refreshing caffe freddo shakerato ☕️.

The people-watching is phenomenal, and the elegant, historic ambiance is pure magic 💫.

It's the perfect taste of la dolce vita, and the ideal prelude to a day of delightful exploration!

What could be the perfect way to enjoy a day in the beautiful Seychelles? 🐠🪸

The answer cannot be easier 😅 a whole day at the beach, starting with my favorite Seychellois drinks (yes it contain alcohol and yes it's only 10 am, but when on holiday, everything is allowed 🤣).

The takamaka drinks 🍹are made with local takamaka rum 🥃 (you can visit the Takamaka distillery in Mahe for free), sparkling water, and a bit of fruit syrup. They are delicious, refreshing and contain only 8% of alcohol.

They are the perfect drink to enjoy while at the beach 🏖

The water at Port Launay beach is so crystal clear today that I'll provably spend more time in it than on the sunbed 🤩
