The Seychelles are in the Indian Ocean, 1,000
miles away from the African coast and the island of Mauritius. The
capital is Victoria on the largest island of Mahe (17 miles by 5
miles) and they are about 11 hours flying time from London.

They consist of 115 tropical islands with some
amazing wildlife, for example, the huge tortoises that freely roam
some islands. The people of the Seychelles are called the Seychellois
and are a mix of Creole, Indian, Chinese, French and British. It is
not an easy or cheap country to travel around cheaply and most of the
food is imported, making it quite expensive to eat too.

A useless fact: the local beer is called
Seybrew!
