The Seychelles is a nation of 115 islands with only 110,000 people. It was unpopulated until the mid-1700s; then claimed first by the French, later by the English; and has now been enjoying independence for 50 years.

Just a few images from our short stay in this tropical paradise.


The Seychelles is presumably the only place where you will find the coco de mer variety of palm tree….Quite distinctive!

A catamaran cruise to a nearby island….

And they have turtles…. Similar to those on the Galapagos.
And of course sweet and colorful fruit.

Friendly people and natural beauty…but we must leave very soon for a safari in Kenya!
