Fifteen minutes by plane or 3 hours by boat, 45km northeast of Mahé, will take you to the site of Adam’s original love nest with Eve. Or so the legend goes. Peaceful Praslin’s 6,500 (human) residents, many of whom consider Mahé too "noisy" and urbane, share Seychelles’ second largest island with many plants found nowhere else on the planet and even within the Seychelles. Chief of this is the inimitable giant coconut, larger than the largest coconut you can imagine. Christened Coco de-Mar, this coconut grows only here and nowhere else.
