Like most of the islands in the Indian Ocean, they were occupied and Colonized by the French followed by the English. When the British took over the Island after the Napoleon war in Waterloo they allowed the French to keep their properties as long as they didn’t interfere with British rule. English is the prime language followed by French. I spoke French to many people and they all spoke perfect French. We also had the best Belgium Waffle I had outside of Belgium.
I’m learning so much history from your blogs! Very interesting.. I had a pistachio and white chocolate Belgian waffle recently-the taste lives on in my head-simply delicious.
Good morning Alice and Dave
I can’t believe there’s only 3 weeks left on this 4 month cruise. Time flies by so quick when you’re having fun. Will call you when we are in London. Guess you know about my appointment with the cardiologist, but I feel good, so will see what he have to say. Love Yvon
