Mother's Scrapbook

Summary: The Fire Family takes a vacation to Seychelles. Azula is trying to start a summer romance with the tour guide and Ursa just wants to take one photograph with her daughter.

She meets the girl by chance on the shores of La Digue when the sun is high and the heat is rolling. She has a pretty smile that competes with the sunlight. Azula supposes that it isn’t pure happenstance, she had booked the tour afterall. An all day excursion of the island and the next one over. 

Where happenstance comes into play is that her initial tour guide has fallen ill—parasites of some sort in his fish dinner. So she has met the man’s daughter. 

It is just she and mother for this particular adventure. Zuzu had wanted to go snorkeling, a means of making good on his promise to Katara that he would bring back neat pictures of the ocean. Of course, uncle wanted to tag along. Truth be told, she wouldn’t have been able to guess that father was fond of snorkeling. Apparently he is interested in the stingrays. 

Mother on the other hand has a particularly adventurous spirit. It is one thing that they share. 

She just hopes that the woman won’t be overly gushing about this. 

The girl, who introduces herself as Seicho has a deeper complexion and pretty, soft brown eyes. She wears a wooden turtle necklace, likely hand-carved. “So you guys are staying in one of those spa resorts?” 

Azula nods. She has been enjoying the Rock Spa and its jacuzzi and manicure services. “We have a garden villa.” 

“That sounds lovely.” 

Ursa nods. “The facials and massages are amazing. My husband claims that he didn’t enjoy it but I haven’t seen him this relaxed in decades.” She ends with a chuckle. 

Seicho returns it. “Well first things first. I’ll show you around Anse Source D’argent.”

.oOo.

Most of the photos she snaps have been candid and stealthy. Azula doesn’t care for taking pictures.  It has been so long since the two of them have bonded and there is so much that she doesn’t know about her own daughter. She only has this sneaking suspicion that the girl doesn’t like to be photographed because she has a habit of finding flaws where there are none.

Mostly Ursa has been capturing nature shots, picturesque panoramas of the palm trees and the hiking trail before them. She has managed capture a few images of slumbering flying foxes and white fairy terns just before they took flight. 

Somehow it had been much harder to take a picture of Azula. But finally she has one. The image shows up on her camera screen; Azula is squatting in front of one of several tortoises attempting to feed it a handful of leaves while Seicho stands to her left, stroking the tortoise’s shell. 

Ursa smiles at the photograph. Decidedly, her next mission will be to convince Azula take at least one photo together. She can’t remember the last time that the two of them have been in a picture together, let alone one that features just the two of them. It would be a lovely addition to her scrapbook. 

“Do you want to try to feed them, mother?” Azula asks. 

“Of course I would.” 

Azula takes the camera from her and Ursa allows herself to be on the other side of the lens for a change. 

“We should take a picture together.” She suggests a little ways down the hiking trail.

“Here?” Azula furrows her brows. “Shouldn’t we find a more scenic spot?”

It isn’t a yes, but it certainly implies that she might just get that photo of the two of them, if she chooses just the right setting. It is only night one of their vacation. Ursa smiles to herself, she has a feeling that she will get that photo eventually.

.oOo.

From atop her granite perch, Azula kicks her feet at water that reflects a mango-pink lemonade sunset. The rocks look pink in this light and Seicho’s face is painted a soft gold. The girl’s hand falls atop hers. 

“It’s pretty isn’t it?”

It would be much easier to make the most of the moment if mother wasn’t there observing and giving her what is supposed to be an encouraging thumbs up. It only brings color to her cheeks and she hopes that Seicho hasn’t spotted the woman. 

Azula nods. “I’ve seen sunsets in Hawaii, The Maldives, and Tahiti. I like this one the most.” Although, nothing truly compares to the volcanoes in Hawaii. “It’s a good way to end the first evening.” She wonders how Zuzu, father, and uncle are doing. She speculates that they are probably making their way to one of the resort’s restaurants, likely picking out a seat that overlooks the water. Zuzu is quite fond of ladob and she and father have taken a shine to the kari bonit. 

“Roasted breadfruit?” Seicho offers. 

Azula scrunches her brows at the fruit.

“I guess that it doesn’t look particularly appetizing, but it is tasty.” Seicho promises. 

Reluctantly, Azula picks up a slice. Even more hesitantly Azula pops it into her mouth. 

“Well?”

Azula hums. “It’s alright, I suppose.” 

“It tastes better with coconut oil and other fruits.” 

With nowhere left to take the conversation, Azula resumes looking out at the winking waves as a balmy breeze tosses her locks about. The world around smells fresh and salty. She finds herself slipping into a daydream of sorts; one wherein she and Seicho are walking across the sand while their families enjoy a beach picnic. 

They are supposed to have a family picnic on day three of their vacation.

“Where did you get that necklace?” Azula tries to resume the conversation. 

“It was my great, great, great, great, grandmother’s. It has been passed down for generations. My mom lets me wear it sometimes.” She pauses. “So what brings you to Seychelles?”

“Family vacation.” Azula finds herself staring off again. “It’s the first one that we’ve taken since my cousin Lu-Ten died.” 

“What happened to him?” 

“He and my grandfather were part of a search and rescue team. No one was there to rescue them.” She will leave it to Seicho to piece the details together. The wound is still rather raw in spite of the years gone by. 

“I’m sorry to hear it.” Seicho frowns. 

Azula shrugs. “I’m glad to be going on vacations again.” It is a simple, lighter way of saying that she is glad that her family is finally on the mend after tragedy and tension had put such a rift in the unity of it. 

As embarrassing as it is to have mother lurking about, she is quite relived that the woman cares enough to hover and supervise. To have the woman’s encouragement. “The hike was nice, mother rather enjoyed it.” And they had rather enjoyed each other’s company for a change.”

Seicho grins. “Thanks! It was my first time giving a tour! I’ll let my dad know that you think I did a good job.” 

Azula nods. She casts a glance at the hand that is still resting atop her own.

“Oh! I’m sorry, I can move it if you’d like.”

Azula shakes her head. “You can leave it there.” She doesn’t think anyone, family aside, has ever held her hand before. She has never had someone hold her hand the way that Mai holds Zuko’s. This isn’t exactly hand holding but it is close enough to make her stomach fluttery.

She catches Seicho’s eyes. They reflect the sun perfectly. So much so that Azula is inclined to say that they were made to do just that. 

She doesn’t kiss Seicho that day, but she has all week to try. 

Perhaps it will be a short thing. 

A tiny little blip of a summer romance. 

But it will be a memory to cherish and look back on when she sees the pictures in mother’s scrapbook.

Top 30 beaches:Woman tourist enjoying the view Pre-Columbian Mayan walled city of Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, North America, Tulum, Mexico. El Castillo – castle the Mayan city of Tulum main temple New research by CV Villas has revealed where in the world is home to the whitest sands, according to colour analysis theory. Following their recent discovery of the world’s bluest waters, CV Villas was inspired to explore which beaches have the most pristine sands. To discover this, they took unedited Google map screenshots of 200 beaches around the globe and used a colour dropper tool to find the RGB code of the sand in each location. This was then cross-referenced with the RGB code of the world’s purest shade of white (255, 255, 255) and the colormine.org calculator was used to calculate which locations’ shore is closest to the whitest white. #Top 30 beaches The research found that Tulum Beach in Mexico claims the top spot with its sand being just 1.4 points off the whitest shade in the world. Situated on the Caribbean coast, this beautiful beach is picture-perfect, with bright blue waves, and almost pure white shores. #Top 30 beaches Second on the list is Anse Source D’Argent in the Seychelles, which scored an impressive 4.3 difference in colour compared to the purest shade of white. This is the only beach on the African continent to feature in the top 30. #Top 30 beaches Meanwhile, beaches in Europe dominate the ranking claiming 15 of the top 30 beaches from around the globe. Marmari Beach in Kos, Greece is third on the global rankings, with just 6.5 of a difference in its sand colour compared to the purest white, followed by Tropea Beach in Southern Italy which is joint fourth with Spain’s Platja de Muro nestled along the coast of Alcudia in Majorca. #Top 30 beaches Spanish destinations feature in the top 30 more than any other country, claiming six of the top spots. Following Majorca’s Platja de Muro is Cala Pluma claiming the title of the world’s sixth whitest sand, which is often dubbed as Ibiza’s ‘secret beach’ thanks to its location hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the island. Los Lances Beach ranks further down the list in 22nd position with a small 11.2 coefficient between its sand and the whitest white. This long beach forms one side of the town of Tarifa offering views of the Straits of Gibraltar and the coast of Africa. Las Salinas in Ibiza is 26th on the list, closely followed by Port de Soller Beach in Majorca, and Menorca’s Platja de Son Xoriguer completes the top 30 whitest sands in the world.  #Top 30 beaches World’s Top 30 Whitest Sands Rank Name of Beach Country Coefficient Between Sand RGB and Purest White 1 Tulum Beach Mexico 1.4 2 Anse Source D’Argent Seychelles 4.3 3 Marmari Beach Greece 6.5 4= Tropea Beach Italy 6.9 4= Platja de Muro Spain 6.9 6 Cala Pluma Spain 7.7 7 Plage de Valras France 7.9 8 Cala Brandinchi Italy 8 9= Stocking Island Beach Bahamas 8.5 9= Taylor Bay Beach Turks and Caicos 8.5 11 Varadero Beach Cuba 8.9 12 Punta Prosciutto Italy 9 13 Maya Bay Beach Thailand 9.4 14 Carmel Beach USA 9.8 15 Bamboo Island Beach Thailand 10.3 16 Siesta Key Beach USA 10.5 17 Spiaggia La Pelosa Italy 10.6 18= Flamenco Beach Puerto Rico 10.8 18= Luskentyre Beach Scotland 10.8 20 Grace Bay Turks and Caicos 10.9 21 Maenam Beach Thailand 11 22 Los Lances Beach Spain 11.2 23 Keem Bay Ireland 11.3 24 Agios Prokopios Greece 11.4 25 Whitehaven Beach Australia 11.5 26= Eagle Beach Aruba 11.7 26= Las Salinas Spain 11.7 28 Port de Soller Spain 11.9 29 Praia Dona Ana Portugal 12.6 30 Platja de Son Xoriguer Spain 12.9 North America Although Europe is the continent claiming the most spots on the global top 30 whitest sands, North America is next in line with eight beaches featuring on the list. With a minor coefficient of 8.5, Stocking Island Beach in the Bahamas and Taylor Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos are joint ninth, closely followed by Cuba’s Varadero Beach in 11th place.

Carmel Beach, one of the most iconic spots on California’s Central Coast, is 14th in the world for its beautiful white sand, Siesta Key Beach in Florida is 16th, and Flamenco Beach is 18th, whilst Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos completes the top 20. The final beach on the continent of North and Central America to feature in the top 30 is Cuba’s Eagle Beach, which has an impressive coefficient score of just 11.7, placing its shores in joint 26th position. #Top 30 beaches Asia All three of the beaches located in Asia that claim their place on the top 30 whitest sands in the world are located in Thailand.

Where to Go: Maldives or Seychelles for the Next Holiday?

Holiday season is around the corner and for some it has already started. When it comes to planning your next getaway, two destinations that immediately come to mind are the Maldives and Seychelles. Both of these tropical paradises are known for their stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and abundant marine life, making them ideal for those seeking a little bit of rest and relaxation. But which one is the better choice? In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the two destinations and compare them from a travel point of view. Book your customized holiday package with Yashvi Tours and Travels.

1.Beaches and Scenery

Both the Maldives and Seychelles offer some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world, with pristine white sands and turquoise waters. Maldives is known for its postcard-perfect overwater bungalows, which are built on stilts over the lagoon, providing an unforgettable view of the ocean. Seychelles, on the other hand, boasts lush tropical forests, mountainous terrain, and granite boulders that create a stunning contrast to the turquoise waters. Seychelles also has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, with Anse Source d’Argent being the most famous.

2.Activities

Both destinations offer a variety of water sports and activities, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and surfing. The Maldives is known for its diverse marine life, including whale sharks, manta rays, and colorful coral reefs. In contrast, Seychelles offers a more laid-back atmosphere, with opportunities for hiking and exploring its stunning natural landscapes. Visitors can also explore the Vallee de Mai nature reserve, which is home to the famous Coco de Mer palm tree, one of the largest seeds in the world.

3.Food and Accommodations

Both destinations offer a range of dining options, from local cuisine to international favorites. Maldives is known for its fresh seafood, while Seychelles boasts a fusion of African, Indian, and European flavors. In terms of accommodations, both destinations offer a range of options, from budget-friendly guest houses to luxury resorts. However, the Maldives is more known for its luxury overwater bungalows, while Seychelles has a more diverse range of accommodations, including boutique hotels and villas.

4.Weather and Climate

Both the Maldives and Seychelles have a tropical climate, with warm temperatures year-round. The Maldives experiences a dry season from November to April and a wet season from May to October, while Seychelles has a more temperate climate, with a dry season from May to October and the wet season from November to April. Visitors should keep in mind that the Maldives is more susceptible to monsoons and storms during the wet season, while Seychelles experiences occasional tropical storms.

5.Culture and History

The Maldives and Seychelles both have rich cultural and historical backgrounds. The Maldives is predominantly Muslim and has a history of trading and seafaring, with influences from Arabia, India, and Southeast Asia. Seychelles, on the other hand, has a diverse cultural heritage, with influences from Africa, Asia, and Europe. Visitors can explore the history of the Seychelles by visiting the capital, Victoria, or the National Museum of History and Culture.

6.Luxury

While the Maldives and Seychelles are often compared to one another, they each have their own unique charm and appeal. For those seeking a more relaxed and laid-back experience, Seychelles is the ideal destination. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along its pristine beaches, go hiking through its lush tropical forests, and take in stunning natural scenery.

On the other hand, the Maldives is the perfect destination for those who want to indulge in luxury and pampering. Its overwater bungalows, which are often equipped with private pools and outdoor Jacuzzis, provide a luxurious experience like no other. Visitors can enjoy spa treatments, fine dining, and other high-end amenities while taking in the beautiful views of the ocean.

7.Accessibility

Another factor to consider when deciding between the Maldives and Seychelles is accessibility. The Maldives is more accessible than Seychelles, with many direct flights available from major cities around the world. Seychelles, on the other hand, requires more planning and effort to get to, with fewer direct flights available. However, for those willing to put in the effort, the payoff is a more secluded and untouched travel experience.

What to choose?

While both destinations are popular honeymoon spots, they are also great for family vacations, solo travel, or even a group getaway. The Maldives and Seychelles offer a wide range of activities and accommodations to suit every traveler’s needs and preferences.

In terms of cost, both destinations can be expensive, with high-end luxury resorts dominating the market. However, there are also more affordable options available, such as guesthouses and budget hotels. It’s important to do your research and plan ahead to find the best deals and packages that suit your budget.

Ultimately, choosing between the Maldives and Seychelles comes down to personal preference and what kind of experience you’re looking for. Whether you’re seeking luxury and relaxation or adventure and exploration, both destinations offer something unique and unforgettable. So, pack your bags, get ready to soak up the sun, and embark on the journey of a lifetime! Wherever you are heading for a holiday, ensure to book your holiday with Yashvi Tours and Travels.
