Happy New Year

We don't know why but the comments we have made for the last couple of blog postings did not come through. It may be because I tried to put them between photos and it may be that we may end up being repetitive

So ....info on The Seychelles. We love this little paradise and would love to visit again.
There are 115 islands in the Seychelles and we have visited Mahe, La Digue and Praslin. We snorkeled yesterday at Coco Island and it was fantastic (not great for the hairdo as you can see) but a great time.

These islands are the only place where the coco de mer palm grows. The strange bi-lobed nuts are produced by the female trees and the male palms produce an equally suggestive flower (like a detumescent horse phallus).

We now have two days at sea as we head to the Maldives.
