Or maybe this TR is from your twin brother sipping mojitos in paradise while you're crossing the Hindu Kush on the back of a donkey...
Ha ha,
JohnRain! Yes, maybe I'm getting too comfortable with my trips. Just got back from a trip to Belgium, and got to enjoy some nice tripel's in Brussels

I will have to start reading all the other TR's you have done.

Many thanks,
BA5E. Yes, we were very fortunate with the weather, we have heard that some people have had the misfortune to have rain for their 7 day stay
! Seychelles must have been a beautiful place for your honeymoon, definitely paradise

Cheers,
djjaguar64. The local bar was offering a buffet for ~40 euro's a head, so while the 100 euro's for two wasn't cheap, it wasn't too bad.

How much would you suggest for food per day. We are not drinkers so just for meals? Also, if you are staying at a resort such as Hilton etc, would you suggest renting a car for the days to go and explore?
Thanks again for sharing!! ^
Thank you,
SgtRyan. Yes, unfortunately it's a long way from most places. Our cheaper meals (pizza, sandwich etc.) were about 10 euro' each. A nice meal at a restaurant was 50 euro's each, and the dinner buffet at the resort was 70 euro's (although included in our package).
Taxi's are not very cheap, so if you want to do some exploring, a cheap car rental is quite common.

Many thanks,
Madone59. Yes, it was a great getaway from Dubai, will definitely have to head back there

Great report, Daniel. Looks like you had an awesome trip - I remember a while back watching a Just Planes DVD about the Seychelles. It looks like a beautiful place!
Thanks,
757. Yes, a very wonderful slice of paradise
