Cruisin Marys

The Seychelles are beautiful. They are an archipelago formed when land drifted away from Africa 80 million years ago. It is Africa’s smallest country and is 99% water and only 1% land. The French and the British colonized them so they speak French, English, and their own Creole language. Seychelles is a mostly Christian country, and it was quite a contrast from the Maldives.

We visited the Botanic Gardens where there is a large population of huge, and surprisingly friendly, tortoises. Then, we spent time taking in the interesting sights and beautiful landscapes.
