Answer to Fun Quiz 14! @ age 15 this future leader received a letter from a young Walt Disney of Disney fame asking for a few germinating coco-de-mer seeds! James Mancham would later take an active interest in the affairs of the Seychelles becoming Chief Minister and our country's president of the republic. Even then his vision for Seychelles was one of balancing tourism with the islands unique eco-system. (Photo JRM with His Holiness Pope Paul VI)
Our question was simple! We asked. Who and What Was It? I once received a letter from Mr. Walt Disney asking me to send him some items. I am and what was it?
For sure the Seychelles Islands is much more than stunning scenery, beautiful beaches, great Creole cuisine, friendly folks, mountains, waterfalls, great hotels (Big & Small) it is a story that continues to unfold. From pirates of old, to giant tortoises and the 'giant' of Mahe, to hidden treasures buried somewhere on beaches to the secret of the lost boy king of France smuggled into the islands during the French Revolution. From exiled kings of the Ashanti Empire, to great sailing vessels of yesteryear now laying deep in the waters making a pleasant home for the bountiful marine life which exists!

Seychelles is indeed a place to visit, stay and enjoy. Still 'unique by a thousand miles'! This is the islands we love so much!
