was shown on the today show today but no one bothered to mention that its an african country, unless i missed that part

Victoria is a compact city, and has a mixed culture representative of European, Chinese, Indian and Creole ones. That's why it has become such a popular destination for holiday makers from around the world.

Pleaseee....can you give me some information.i have some questions about Seychelles...me and my friends plannin travel Seychelles on february 2011 for 10 days...
how will be weather at that time of year???
is it expensive there??? can we find hostel or any cheep place to stay???...

p.s: i liked all pictures....super!

Matt, is back with the good stuff. Thanks for the thread. I agree, I am liking this place too. Culturally overall, Seychelles is closer related to Madagascar and Mauritius for example than to the nations on the eastern coast of Africa ?

Amazing,such a clear water! I want to be there!
