You step out of the vehicle and Victoria hums around you: a compact capital of creole storefronts, a small market selling cinnamon and vanilla, and the sea framed just beyond clustered palms. The guide asks where you want to begin — a relaxed stroll through the market, a quick stop at a viewpoint, or a short walk to a tucked-away beach. On Mahé, the island sets the pace; today you match it.
