Taking The Public Bus In The Seychelles And Other Death-Defying Adventures
This is NOT the bus we took. It IS a public bus but not the one we risked our lives by taking. (grins)
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I enjoy taking public transit when we travel. It gives us a tiny slice of the average local’s life, it is less expensive, and…it is often an adventure.
That ended up being VERY true when we visited Victoria, Seychelles.
The first thing we learned was very few people took Euros (we were informed by online folks that they WOULD take Euros and that was incorrect). So we had to change money into the local currency.
Bus passes were sold at the terminal. There was a bit of a line up for them. But that was okay because buses left for routes once every hour or so and we had the time.
We got on the bus headed toward Fairyland Beach. This route had steep hills and the driver drove…aggressively.
He rode the bumper of the car ahead of us. And he drove QUICKLY, stopping and starting suddenly. We had to hang onto the seat back in front of us for dear life.
Even with that precaution, I exited the bus with a new collection of bruises. (grins)
There were turns so tight buses and large trucks had to take turns to navigate them.
At one point, I turned to the Dear Wonderful Hubby and whispered, “We are going to die.”
But we didn’t die. (laughs) And now we have a great story to tell.
Just know that taking the public buses in the Seychelles is NOT for the timid or the easily bruised!

Muse Food – Deer And The Unusual
A couple months ago (before the wildfires got really bad), the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I visited Victoria, BC.
We saw deer near the edge of a park. The deer were beautiful. We took photos and watched them for a long time.
People would pass us. They’d glance at the deer and continue walking.
I couldn’t believe they didn’t want to watch the deer.
We eventually continued on our trek. And we saw more deer.
And more deer. And more deer.
The deer were everywhere.
The locals didn’t stop and watch the deer because deer weren’t unusual for them. At all.
It was unusual for us because we’re visitors. We don’t often see deer.
I keep that in mind when I write scenes. A local might not comment on the purple trees on an alien planet, for example. A newcomer would comment on them.

Strive For Forever
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
