1. Characteristic of the island of Mauritius.

As the writer said Bernardo de Saint-Pierre, describing these blessed places: «The nature and heart are inexhaustible»

Imagine a deep blue Indian Ocean, white, soft as flour, sand beaches, coconut palms on the clear waters of the lagoon. Add whimsical silhouettes of mountains, emerald valleys overgrown sugar cane, pink flocks of pigeons over the rainforest - and you get to Mauritius. Mark Twain once said that God created the heaven in the image of Mauritius. From the height of the island is really like a breakaway piece of Eden, inadvertently departuring into the ocean. 

Long island resort has gained a reputation of the highest class, refined and luxurious. Many of the most exclusive hotels in Mauritius on the right take the first lines of the world rankings. This oasis of luxury, comfort and impeccable service. Mauritius is famous not only magnificent hotels and marvelous beaches. He gained fame as one of the best places in the world for catching big fish. Coastal waters of the island, with their awesome fish and coral - a paradise for diving and other water sports.

Beach sand smoothly into lawn bobbed among which it here and there for flavor planted palm trees. Local hotels are all as one located on the ocean, on the headlands, on small islands connected to the mainland by crossovers. Mauritius ready to give you full for your money, but do not sell a fee his soul. He is proud to be a host to many great shows, and enjoys the fact that serves you with a smile. And be grateful for a smile in response ... «There really is all happy and life sometimes resembles prolonged holiday. When income from sugarcane began to fall from year to year, Mauritius switched to the tourist business. Built on the island restaurants and bars, swimming pools, saunas, beauty salons, tennis courts, golf courses. You can hire a catamaran, scuba, biking, water skiing, horseback ride or enjoy a jeep in the mountains and hunt deer. 

In the north- east rises the chain of low mountains, a distance similar to sleeping camels. There are colored sands - freak of nature, the rocks of volcanic origin, reflecting all the colors like a rainbow of colors.

Mountain ranges are replaced valleys lush greenery, lakes, and waterfalls. Seaside - numerous lagoons fringed beaches. A tourist in Mauritius is not bad - they swim in the ocean, hunted, fished, participate in the World Championships in windsurfing, play tennis and squander money in the casino.

Lush tropical nature, elegant luxury hotels, unforgettable fishing, incredible diving, rich national culture and the wonderful hospitality - all these amazing, fabulous Mauritius.

Mauritius - a fusion of different nations, cultures and religions, as evidenced by the magnificent temples, rituals and colorful ceremonies. The schools teach in English, local newspapers are published in French, and between them all Mauritians speak Creole. Wild cocktail of different blood flows in the veins of the local population, and therefore the natures of Mauritians have - explosive and hilarious. How many people - so many religions. Catholics, the Anglican Church, Adventists , Hindus , Hare Krishnas, Muslims, Buddhists , Confucians , Bahai , Jews and more than 50 religions and all their holidays .

Mauritian flag consists of four horizontal stripes - red, blue, yellow, green. Red - this is freedom, blue - the Indian Ocean, yellow - independence, and green - the year-round island attire.

The symbol of Mauritius - the dodo bird , ox and sugar cane, for them - the ship and three trees, and the star key, reflecting the island's motto: stella clavisque maris indici. Mauritius claims the role of a bridge between Africa and Asia.

In Mauritius, as in the primitive paradise, live animals and birds. However, when the island only discovered the only mammals living on it was a fruit bat.

Birds in Mauritius are not immigrants and native residents, the result of evolution. Similar to them you will not find in any other part of the globe. Also dodo, completely exterminated in ancient times, the island is known only bird with spicy name pic-pic.

But elected to become easy and not necessarily that it will be very expensive - a ticket to the Seychelles allow you to see these amazing islands, without spending a half of the state. Seychelles - is primarily nature. Local style - privacy and relaxation, not Vanity Fair.

Seychelles, Seychelles description:

Solitude is really worth in the first place. Castaway Island, where there are no large cities (the capital of Victoria on our concepts simply colonial settlement), no noisy discos, and no large crowds. All at home, everything has to enjoying nature and each other.

The general public in the Seychelles - the couple coming for a honeymoon, romantic adventure lovers and diving. If we believe our media, to engage in these places preferred by many deep- diving VIP-guests, who live on the islands for months. Seychelles attract filmmakers. In my time here making a movie about Tarzan, Robinson and Emmanuel. House on the island of La Digue, where Emmanuel comprehended the camera secrets sensuality, is one of the major local attractions

Seychelles villas are of Arab sheikhs, American millionaires, stars of show business (for example, ex- members of "The Beatles»).

Did you have red bananas? And to sit under a tree «dragon’s blood», sipping brandy from tsitranelly? No? But really what is the «coco de mer «you know, of course! Also no? Then you have an urgent time to buy a ticket to the Seychelles.

Three main Seychelles - Mahe, Praslin and La Digue - located in four degrees south of the equator and 50 kilometers from each other. Quite objectively - here are the best beaches in the world. A LAS D'Arzhent Anse on La Digue - the best among the best.

In the Seychelles, you will realize that no tourist seasons. And, indeed, here they are less pronounced. From June to October - the dry season, the average temperature reaches 30 SS December to April - the wet season. Cost of heat, the mercury rises to 30C, and the humidity level rises. Vegetation in this period lush as ever; thirsty nature blooms. Rains sometimes very strong, but usually short-lived. Usually, they come at dusk or at night. The best in the archipelago - months between the dry and wet seasons, ie May and October.

Local people, Creoles ( the result of love between the British , blacks , French and Chinese ), very, very calm. Creoles slowly working, eating, singing, dancing... Therefore, responsible for servicing tourist’s places they do not put. Europeans working there or come from Mauritius. 

For many years the only inhabitants of the islands were pirates who have turned this place into their home base. It was here organized numerous raids on passing from East Africa to India transportation. According to legends, and today somewhere under palm trees coastal atolls lay waiting for their discoverers and great treasures of pirates, buried them until better times.

Seychelles - Coral safari

But the real treasure of the archipelago is not buried in its depths , they are visible to everyone who had come here . It is said that these beaches such clear sea, such a rich underwater, and the freeboard ( plant and animal ) world is not anywhere else on the planet.

And the inhabitants of the archipelago flying experience no fear of humans and can peck feed from his hand, which gives the final completion of the surrounding landscape paradise.

No less diverse and the underwater world of the ocean surrounding the islands. Only on the coral reefs surrounding the island of Mahe - the main island of the archipelago, is found about 800 different species of fish and other marine inhabitants.

Richest underwater Seychelles striking in its beauty. That is why one of the most popular and interesting activities for tourists in Seychelles - diving. It's up to the dignity of time to estimate diving fans from around the world.

Boats Seychellois fishermen never return to shore empty, and the daily catch can greatly injure the delicate psyche of domestic anglers. The author of these lines had seen as having gone to sea in a boat local fisherman returned an hour later with twenty - Rybin twins, each of which was no less than 80-90 centimeters long. This fish, something resembling a large half ling, referred to herein as «dorado ". And the most valuable fish still considered tuna dishes which are an integral part of the local Creole cuisine. Goes to food and meat of sharks that live at a depth of (cases of shark attacks on the shore person does not happen).

Seychelles: British Traditions

More than 150 years of entering the Seychelles of the British Empire affected all areas of life of the islanders. In the center of the capital, Victoria, is worth a small copy of Big Ben in London, the city's architecture is sustained in the British colonial tradition. British feelings and trends in the strict separation of the local beer «Lugger «and «bitter», although local brewery (beer "C- Bru») has been established at the time the West Germans. Beer here, by the way, is not cheap: mug of draft worth 28 rupees (about $ 6). A favorite drink local is also coconut cider «Kahlua «fed directly into a coconut with a straw.

The country observed right-hand traffic, all the cars, of course, with the "right» wheel. The most popular among the local population use "mini- Moki» semblance of our buggy. All these machines can be rented, but led them to be very careful - the roads are winding serpentine through the mountains and extremely narrow. Furthermore, for the same road going and pedestrians, including small children, so that the driver requires the utmost attention.

Selecting varieties holiday in Seychelles is so varied that will satisfy the most demanding guests.

3. Maldives – pearl of exotic tourism. 

Wise medieval traveler Ibn Battuta wrote: «Travel first deprives you speechless, and then turns into a storyteller." What else is left to do when the quiet expanse of the Indian Ocean is far, far behind? A memory is haunted, returning to the tale again and again.

But after all this, and the first blue-green turquoise strange round- elongated spots simultaneously on similar slices of mango, neurons thinking ocean and giant ciliate-shoes. This view from the airplane... As if the creation is "Solaris" new forms of life and all it has to move, moving cilia coral reefs. It seems there has never gone before. But it is not - when landing behind occurs completely flat island covered with light houses, they say, without a gap. This Male, the capital of the Republic of Maldives, 2.5 m. kilometers which dwells 70,000 inhabitants.

Maldives, Maldives - description:

Atoll - a beautiful word that comes to us not from the Polynesian islands , and from the Indian Ocean , more precisely with the Maldives - the archipelago , which stretches for 600 kilometers from the north (which is south of Sri Lanka ) to the south ( of the equator ) . The local dialect word sounds even more beautiful - «Atollon." And this is the closest to Russia and Europe oceanic islands of plant origin, in coral.

Looks like paradise originally had the shape of the atoll. All around nice: warm and humid oceanic and " Venetian " landing in a local taxi - wood cutter " dhoni " with a flat roof and soft courtesy of local residents , as well as the absence of rough seas and anti-social phenomena .

Its lush vegetation of the island obliged sea. Of the 300 species of plants in the Maldives 25% hit on the island by sea, 10% of these birds were recorded , and only a small amount got here thanks to the winds. Main tree islands - coconut palm also get here by sea and became the emblem of the Maldives. Also found breadfruit, whose fruits are eaten fried and boiled? Found in the Maldives and pandan - banyan ficus. On the sandy shores growing evergreen mangrove trees and flowering shrubs.

Fauna of the Maldives is not particularly rich. Most of the animal was brought to the islands by man. Once the island was inhabited only by seabirds. There are about 100 species of feathered inhabitants, half of them - residents of islands, and the second half - migratory birds. In the Maldives, a lot of gulls and terns, there are birds - cornets that ruin someone else's nest. On the coast and out of the water corals, plovers and snipes, who gladly regale crustaceans? In the Maldives, there are also two species of herons: large, gray herons and the small island, which the locals are often kept at home.

Leave no one indifferent handsome naval frigates, which nest on the inhabited islands. Also in the Maldives live brightly colored songbirds, which the locals gladly kept at home in large enclosures. The most common - pink noisy parrots.

Go to sea on a belt, wear a mask and submerge face in water: you effortlessly find a bevy of small fish hanging from the bottom of sea cucumbers, starfish crawling and all sorts of other mollusks. Coastal waters coral reef islands fenced, so no surf - the water surface is always smooth.
