			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In common with many fragile island ecosysytems, the early human history of Seychelles saw the loss of biodiversity including the disappearance of most of the <span class="mw-redirect">giant tortoises</span> from the granitic islands, felling of coastal and mid-level forests and extinction of species such as the chestnut flanked white eye, the Seychelles Parakeet and the <span class="mw-redirect">saltwater crocodile</span>. However, extinctions were far fewer than on other islands such as <a title="Mauritius " href="http://mauritiustrip.wordpress.com/"><em><strong>Mauritius </strong></em></a>or Hawaii, partly due to a shorter period of human occupation (since 1770). The Seychelles today is known for success stories in protecting its flora and fauna.</p>
<p>Arguably the first scientific study of Seychelles was that of the Marion Dufresne expedition in 1768, two years prior to settlement. Dufresne instructed Duchemin, captain of the vessel La Digue, to &#8230;<em>especially give the greatest attention to the study and prospects of all the species of inland productions such as trees, bushes, plants, herbs, quadruped animals, birds, insects, freshwater fish, stones, soil, minerals. Nothing is unimportant. You must not avoid giving details and descriptions- everything is worthy of attention</em>. Their observations remain an intriguing window on Seychelles prior to human interference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Seychelles is an island group of some 115 islands. Mahe is the largest island like this, it is 24 km long. The capital of Victoria Mahe says. The second group is the island of Praslin, with about 14 km in length, the third is La Digue. At all &#8216;internal&#8217; Seychelles islands are Beautifully shaped granite rocks, which are beautifully into the landscape, crystal clear water, the bath temperatures of about 28 ° record. Snorkeling and diving are absolutely required. The &#8216;outer&#8217; islands such as Aldabra, Amirantes are coral islands (similar to the Maldives).</p>
<p><a href="http://seychellestravel.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11" title="02" src="http://seychellestravel.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/02.jpg?w=300&#038;h=201" alt="" width="300" height="201" /></a></p>
<p>Those who opt for a trip Seychelles interested, there should be a little money to have. It is not a very good holiday. There is no all-inclusive, unless you are on an island with only one hotel, which also will cost accordingly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While <span class="mw-redirect">Austronesian</span> seafarers or Arab traders may have been the first to visit the uninhabited Seychelles, the first recorded sighting of them took place in 1502, by the Portuguese Admiral Vasco da Gama, who passed through the <span class="mw-redirect">Amirantes</span> and named them after himself (islands of the Admiral). The first recorded landing and first written account was by the crew of the English East Indiaman <em>Ascension</em> in 1609. As a transit point for trading between Africa and Asia, they were occasionally used by <span class="mw-redirect">pirates</span> until the French began to take control of the islands starting in 1756 when a Stone of Possession was laid by Captain Nicholas Morphey. The islands were named after Jean Moreau de Séchelles, Louis XV’s Minister of Finance. <sup class="reference">[1]</sup></p>
<p>The British contested control over the islands with the French between 1794 and 1812. Jean Baptiste Quéau de Quincy, French administrator of Seychelles during the years of war with the United Kingdom, declined to resist when armed enemy warships arrived. Instead, he successfully negotiated the status of capitulation to Britain, which gave the settlers a privileged position of neutrality.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8" src="http://seychellestravel.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/weddings-abroad-seychelles.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Britain eventually assumed full control upon the surrender of Mauritius in 1812 and this was formalised in 1814 at the Treaty of Paris. The Seychelles became a <span class="mw-redirect">crown colony</span> separate from Mauritius in 1903 and independence was granted in 1976, as a republic within the Commonwealth. In 1977, a coup d&#8217;état ousted the first president of the republic, James Mancham, replacing him with <span class="mw-redirect">France Albert René</span>. The 1979 constitution declared a socialist one-party state, which lasted until 1991. The first draft of a new constitution failed to receive the requisite 60 percent of voters in 1992, but in 1993 an amended version was approved.</p>

<p>The best beach on Praslin &#8211; in fact, one of the best in the country &#8211; is Anse Lazio, in the far north of the island. The beach has glorious soft white sand, a few rounded granite boulders and a lively line-up of waves in a magical turquoise colour.</p>
<p>The beach is protected by a reef, which makes the water like a giant bath &#8211; it&#8217;s shallow, warm and safe, and there&#8217;s some nice snorkelling at the end of the beach. There&#8217;s even a terrific restaurant right on the sand. Buses travel from Grand Anse around the coast to Anse Boudin, a short walk from Anse Lazio.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You should plan your trip to the Seychelles around what you want to do. Windsurfing and sailing are best at the start and end of the trade winds, usually around May and October. Some beaches are better during the monsoon season, others during the trade winds. Diving is best in March to May and September to November. Hotel prices shoot up and accommodation can be hard to find during the peak seasons from December to January and July to August. Easter can also get busy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Victoria</strong> (sometimes called <strong>Port Victoria</strong>) is the <span class="mw-redirect">capital city</span> of the <span class="mw-redirect">Republic of Seychelles</span> and is situated on the north-eastern side of Mahé island, which the main island of the archipelago. The city was first established as the seat of the British colonial government. As of 2002, the population is 24,970, which is approximately one third of the population of the Seychelles. Victoria is served by the Seychelles International Airport (completed in 1971.)</p>
<p>The principal exports of Victoria are vanilla, coconuts, coconut oil, <span class="mw-redirect">tortoise shell</span>, soap, and guano.</p>
<p>Attractions in the city include a <span class="mw-redirect">clocktower</span> modelled on that of Little Ben in London, England, the Courthouse, the Victoria Botanical Gardens, the <span class="new">Victoria National Museum of History</span>, the <span class="new">Victoria Natural History Museum</span> and the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market. The city is also home to the national stadium and a <span class="mw-redirect">polytechnic</span> institute, while the inner harbour lies immediately east of the town, around which tuna fishing and canning form a major local industry. One of the largest bridges in Victoria was destroyed in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Seychelles</strong> , officially the <strong>Republic of Seychelles</strong> , is an archipelago nation of 155 islands in the Indian Ocean, some 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) east of mainland Africa, northeast of the island of Madagascar.
