PRASLIN

Shame on me, I didn't mean to frighten you... with this plane story... Since you are here, I assume sharks will have to fast tonight !

This is Praslin Island, I stayed here four days... and almost got killed by a falling coconut, so look up!!! Praslin has one of the finest beach sand I ever seen (not that I saw that much), but the feel was just like walking on blue velvet... why blue?.. go figure :-).

Coco Fesse

Let me tell you about this coconut tree.

The only place in you can find it in the world is here in Praslin Island, in the middle of "Valley de Mai". They call it "Coco fesse", which in english would be equivalent to "coconut butt".

Because the coconut reminds a woman's back and pubis. The coconut is hairy in the front and its pulp is said to taste like women.... (I didn't check.. :-),

besides, the male fruit is shaped like a penis.. !!

Just click here If you want to check by yourself. (90 seconds with a 14.4 modem)

Anyway exports of this Seychelles' jewel is regulated by the authorities. If you want to buy them, get them at Praslin, they are much more expensive in the other islands... up to 10,000 belgian francs (US$ 350).

Now, let us head to La Digue... the only way to get there is by boat (30 minutes)..
