March 28, Victoria, Seychelles
We are in the Seychelles today. We went snorkeling, I saw lots of colorful
fish. We went snorkeling on a coral reef
in Marine park. We took a boat ride out
to the spot where we snorkeled.
After our snorkeling we went to see some giant tortoises at the
resort where we took the boat from. They
are very old and big. Tortoises only
live on land, that’s what makes them different from turtles. The ones in the botanic gardens in Victoria
are 300 years old.
After lunch on the ship, we went to town. In town we took photographs and saw lots of
shops. I wanted to buy a spider shell,
but we didn’t think it is allowed to be brought back into the US.
The Seychelles are home to a rare giant coco de mer palm
tree. They grow coconuts that weigh up
to 60lbs. They are huge. They grow on one of the other islands so we
didn’t see them.
