World Cruise 2013
March 28, 2013
Today the ship arrived in Victoria, Seychelles. The
Seychelles is a group of about 115 islands that lie 990 miles off the coast of
east Africa. Unlike most similar islands, the Seychelles is not volcanic. They
seem to be the peaks of a huge underwater plateau that fell off the edge of
India about 65 million years ago. The islands are rich in vegetation. The
Seychelles are known for their beautiful beaches and serene waters, perfect for
snorkeling or a relaxing day on the sand.
I took a tour called “Mahe Discovery”. We drove thru town
and our first stop was at a Hindu Temple. We then walked to a local market
loaded with fish and vegetables. We left the market and walked a few blocks to
some shops and then got on the bus to drive to the Botanic Gardens where we saw
a variety of trees and plants and the giant land tortoises. Our next stop was
at Mission Lodge to see the ruins of a school for the children of freed slaves.
It was also a good viewing point to take pictures of the Seychelles Island. We
then drove to a place where we had tea and could buy tea if you wanted. Our
next stop was for lunch at a restaurant near the sea. It was a great site for
pictures and some time was also allowed for swimming. Our last stop before we
returned to the ship was at a Craft Village.
Below are some pictures taken from the ship and from my tour.
