SEYCHELLES PRASLIN
The second largest island in the Seychelles archipelago is Praslin, 34 km from Mahé and just 15 minutes' flight.

Covering an area of 44 square kilometres, Praslin is almost completely covered by rainforest and many tourists consider it the most beautiful in the entire Seychelles archipelago.

Although the island boasts many beaches and coves, its most famous is Anse Lazio -- a long stretch of white sand bordered by takamaka trees curving into the distance. From its crystal clear waters rich in extraordinary flora and fauna emerge granite rocks that have been smoothed by the sea.

The island is famous for the Vallée de Mai, a National Park and protected rainforest area listed among the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Many species of endemic plants grow here, though the best known is certainly the Coco de Mer. Unique to the Seychelles, this is a 30 metre tall palm that produces a coconut which bears a remarkable resemblance to the shape of a woman's buttocks.

With approximately 6,000 inhabitants, Praslin is an important hub for tourists and the departure point of various tours. The island of Cousine is a short boat ride away and, with its sanctuary, a favourite destination for bird lovers.
Multilingual guides offer tours of the rich flora and fauna present on Cousine.

The excursion can include a trip to the island of Couriese.

The wonderful beaches of Praslin are within easy reach either by bus or by renting a car from one of the several local tourist operators.


Another enchanting beach on Praslin is Anse Georgette, situated on the north coast of the island.
They only access is across the Lemuria Resort hotel golf course, on the main west coast road. Permission to access the golf course must be obtained from the guardian at the entrance of the resort.
This beach is often deserted and offers decent snorkelling. The currents through this small cove can be fairly strong.

The island offers various kinds of accommodation, from hotels to guesthouses, villas and lodging in private homes.

Humans are animals. Look at what goes on outside your front door. Violence, murder, rape. It's in every society, rich or poor. Even the most respected people in our society commit these crimes against others. These problems will never go away as long as human beings exist. We are no better than a lion killing it's prey. It's human nature.

[faintmelody]

true, it is a necessary part of life between animals, but it is IMO unnecessary between human beings, because we are intelligent enough to find alternative ways to solve problems. we aren't animals. just because there are stupid politicians out there who think it's ok to bomb countries, doesn't mean that it's ok and a part of life. just because terrible things have always been happening in this world, doesn't mean we should ignore them or continue doing them. but then again, to each his own.

Killing is part of life, always has been since the beginning of time.

[faintmelody]

no thank you. I'd rather not be working for people who think it's okay to kill innocent people. it's not very lady-like to kill, you know.

Join the Navy. I have been there twice in my six years.
