All around

Well this was my second time to the Seychelles and little has changed in the past few years. The folks are very friendly, the food is realatively good and the beaches are still very nice. The shopping area around the Pirate's Arm Cafe is nice and so is the food in the area. Just around the corner is a large outdoor market place where they sell fresh fish, fruits, veggies and other local gift ideas. Though there are many beaches if you are looking for seashells as souvenirs then this is the place to go!! There are a few casino's on the island with slots and very few table games. Prices are a bit more expensive than normal but not outrageous. The Plantation Hotel is probably the best on the island but a good drive (45 minutes) from the center of town. The Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Beach Resort & Casino, is the best place to just hang out by the beach. With it's beach front bar and dining area, watersports, and a glass bottom boat all in this area it is great for all ages.
