Victoria Smells Vanilla

You can make your kitchen more welcoming with this travel souvenir from Seychelles. Its bright colors will lighten up your kitchen and you will probably long for the times when you were in the Seychelles. Located in Mahe Island, Victoria is the capital city of Seychelles. It is home to more than 25 thousand inhabitants and the majority of them perform rural activities. For that reason, it is no wonder that the archipelago's main exports are coconuts, vanilla, guano and fish. One of the most beautiful things about Victoria is its sweet smell that some people attribute to vanilla. In fact, Seychelles is one the few places on earth where vanilla is grown.

Festivals in Seychelles

These islands offer travelers many opportunities for entertainment. Perhaps the most popular event in the islands, and especially in the city and port of Victoria, is the carnival. If you are visiting Seychelles in April, you can't miss it. It is a massive international event as other carnivals are invited to participate. The biggest event is the parade of floats, which represent the countries that are participating in the given year. The authorities work hard year round to get the city prepared for this annual event as many other activities catering families and kids are organized as well. By all means, this is a great travel souvenir to take back home. Remember to take some natural vanilla as well; it will certainly delight those in your family with a sweet tooth.
