Twelve days after leaving Galle, Sri Lanka, we arrived in Port Victoria, Seychelles. Apart from two short visits as an ILO official, I had not spent a long time in Mahé for more than 30 years. It was time to rediscover Victoria and surroundings, as well as taking time to explore the other islands of the Seychelles Group. So many changes have happended here: the new port, Eden Island, traffic jams in Victoria, but one thing has not changed: the Clock Tower, the ost well known landmard, is still there. Glad that SOME things have not changed....
