Praslin is the 2nd largest island in the Seychelles.  I spent two days here although most of it was scuba diving so I don’t have very many pictures.

The coco de mer is said to be world’s sexiest fruit.  It basically looks like, ahem, buttocks.  Originally the coconuts were only found floating in the sea so it was thought that they grew in a magic garden at the bottom of the sea.  It wasn’t until 1768 that they discoved the forest where they grow.  There are only two places in the world where this fruit grows and they are both in Seychelles.  One is Vallée de Mai on Praslin island and the other is Curieuse Island.
