Well, let's forget a while from coffee and business. Here, I would like to show you the wonderful of coconut from Seychelles. It is found centuries ago while the explorer of French arrived in Seychelles. They found it floating at the sea and they though that the coconut grows under the sea. Then they called it Coco de Mer (coconut of the sea). This coconut can only be found in Praslin and main land of Mahe, Seychelles.
This coconut is protected by the Unesco and the government of Seychelles prohibits to export this coconut without certificate. The price for one coco is around $250-$500 per piece, empty without any content inside.
I have chance to visit Vallee de Mai in Praslin, the national park where this coconut grows. And the other place is called Jardin du Roi (The garden of the King) in Mahe island. The garden was build by the King of French that colonized this country before British came. The tree is just like palm. There are two kinds of coco de mer, one is male and another is female that produces fruit.
This is the interesting place to come for relax, excursion on tourism. The beach is white and clean. The country has around 85.000 populations. Mostly tourists come for escaping from routine business and peoples attention from public figure.
For accomodation, please prepare your budgeting from US$200 - US$4000 per night. This is for accomodation of three stars hotel to the very luxury resort.
Don't miss it....
