Devil's Island


4-25-13

We are in Devil’s Island but there are no Tasmanian Devils here though.  This is a French Island that used to be a prison.  It’s like Alcatraz in French Guiana.  There’s a movie made after it called Papillon.  They were showing it in the theater as we write this blog entry.

We walked around the island and looked at the buildings.

We also saw lots of animals.  We saw monkeys and a kind of rat they have.  It has no tail.  We also saw lots of lizards.

There were lots of birds too. There were peacocks and parrots- macaws.  There were also hummingbirds.  We took lots of animal and flower photos today.

We left 3 hours late because the door for the tenders got stuck open.  They had to fix it before we left of course.

  1. Cman, I really enjoyed reading your blog! It was very interesting to get your perspective on things, many of which I did also while on the cruise. It was a pleasure sailing with you, your mom, and your grandparents!
