My visit to the Seychelles

Travelling to the Seychelles
The Republic of Seychelles comprises 115 islands in the Indian Ocean. She lies between 4 and 10 degrees south of the equator .She is paradise.The Seychelles is not in a cyclone belt and has no dangerous and/or poisonous animals or reptiles.Crime is virtually non existent.There is petty crime such as stealing your bag while you are lying on the beach so be careful.
The purpose of this article is to provide quick and easy tips to enable you to make the most of your holiday there.(detailing what I found out while I was there)

4-Things to Do

1-Accomodation
I found the hotels to be very expensive and resorted to finding out about the self catering options available.I was very lucky to come upon La Rocaille on the south side of the main island Mahe.The hosts were extremely gracious and the rate per day was among the cheapest on the island.
