The U.S. News and World Report named Seychelles the number one beach in the world on their list of the top twelve beaches in the world list. National Geographic online also named Seychelles number one. So what does it have to offer?
Well for starters, we need to locate Seychelles. Seychelles, which is actually a chain of 115 islands, is located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of eastern Africa.
According to travel.usnews.com, Seychelles offers seemingly endless white beaches, giant boulders and swaying palms that are the stuff of postcards, television commercials and desktop backgrounds. While lounging on the island, the only other life forms you are likely to come in contact with are the islands' colorful birds and humongous tortoises.
The island nation recognizes three official languages: English, French and French-based Seselwa Creole. Many Seychellois can also speak Italian or German.
If you are considering traveling here, you will need to have your passport ready when flying into Seychelles International Airport (SEZ).
It is also advised that you travel to Seychelles during their off-season. Prices on the islands increase from May to September and in December and January. If you can go in April or November, you can save a lot.
Another travel tip from travel.usnews.com is to avoid the big resorts. Their prices are extremely high and you can get more bang for your buck by staying at a small inn and dining at local restaurants.
Is this post killing you as much as it is killing me? I think it is definitely time for a vacation. Check back next week for our final excursion.
