Seychells

Hello from Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. We got to visit the main island of the Seychelles Islands and they are beautiful. There wasn’t a lot to do but I am sure glad I brought my bike because there was plenty to see if you took a ride around the island. The people were friendly and speak mainly French Creole. It was a nice break but nothing like being home. Love and miss you all.

Picture was when we stopped at one of the beaches after the rain slowed down as you can see I am soaked but it was so nice there we ended up going about 17 miles on the bikes that day. As you can see the buses took up almost the whole road and we had to compete with them and others on that road.

Picture is of the sunset at Beau Vallon Bay on the North end of the island. They had huge fruit bats about four foot wing span. Very pretty warm all the time and humid.

Picture as we are taking a footpath to get around to the main road we spotted one of these huge spiders. This one was about the size of my hand outstretched and the little spiders you see around it are its babies.
