trail where you can even see <i><b> dolphins</b></i>. On the trail you will also be able to see the beautiful <i><b>white vanilla flower</b></i>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The <i><b>sea coconut </b></i>(<b><i>Lodoicea maldivica</i></b>) also called <i><b>coco de mer</b></i>, is an endemic palm of the <i><b>Seychelles</b></i>, nowhere else to find in the world, which the seed -the largest in vegetal world- is called <i><b>coco-fesse</b></i>, due to its awsome morphology, reminding strangely the woman anatomy. It requires many years to mature, giving then a fruit of a weight between 15-30kg. The <i><b>coco-fesses</b></i> in the wildness is only to find on the isles of <b><i>Praslin </i></b>and <i><b>Curieuse</b></i>. The best place to see some is certainly the <b><i>Vallée de Mai</i></b> on <i><b>Praslin</b></i>, which is also the refugee of the <i><b>Perroquet Noir</b></i> (<i><b>Black Parrot</b></i>), nowhere else to see too in the world except in this valley.</span></span></div>
