The Seychelles are one of if not the most beautiful place on earth. They are located in the western Indian Ocean. They have a year round climate of between 75 and 90 degrees and and of course depending on what time of the year you visit there will depend on the amount of wind you get. Regardless of when you go it's the fact that you are there that will matter most and I guarantee that you will never want to go home from there as it really is the most beautiful place on earth. It is also home to the Double Coconut. the ONLY place in the world where it grows naturally. And yes it is a little weird but well worth the few dollars that you will pay for it.

I may check this out as it sounds like a great place to plan a wonderful romantic get away for my husband and I. He is not big on traveling as he does it for work,but I think this sounds like the perfect place. He has never seen the ocean so it would be interesting for him to go!

I had always wanted to go to the Seychelles as I like tropical islands. I had seen many gorgeous posters of palm fringed beaches there. So I searched around for a good airline deal. We flew via Nairobi with the Kenyan airline. We stayed one night on Mahe, a week on La Digue and a week on Praslin. We could not believe the standard of accommodation on the first night wow! It was a huge apartment overlooking a gorgeous beach in a village near to the airport.
Catching the boat over to La Digue was lovely, seeing all the beautiful islands. Arriving and seeing just bikes for transport was refreshing. Over the next week we saw the amazing beaches with the unusual rock formations. The best day was when we rode biles to the other side of the island. We then took a walking track and found a deserted beach. Oh, it was pure bliss.
The next week we stayed on Praslin. Our hotel was in a very quiet location. One of the day were there we were swimming in the sea and it began to rain. It was a magical sort of experience. It was fun to ride around the island by bus. We took it up to a steep hill that led to a beach that has been named one of the top ten in the world . Wow! We put on our snorkels and saw some stunning coral and fish.
We went to the forest reserve with the unique double coconut. But by the time we were there we could not afford to buy one.
I bought two handmade costume dolls for my collection. I also bought some far cheaper things at the shops at Nairobi airport. There was a long wait at there but the flight was very reasonably priced. The Seychelles is one of the most beautiful places in all of the world. the beaches have to been seen to believe just how beautiful they are.
