South Georgia is just one of the 740 islands which makes up the Falklands, situated on South Americas south eastern coastline the Falkland Islands are a far cry from what people in modern life expect. Usually when the Falklands are mentioned to anyone over the age of 25, the war and the Falklands conflict would immediately spring to mind. It is unlikely that anybody under the age of 25 will have heard of the Falklands unless they have a relative who fought in the conflict or have learnt about its history in School.
The Falkland Islands is dominated by a wide range of wildlife, thousands of birds flock to these Isles yearly, the skyline is a wide open space as no building work has had chance to ruin what nature intended. The coastline is clear from rubbish. There are people who inhabit this island, it is a small community but the people are friendly and go out of their way to be of assistance to visitors. The Falklands capital is Stanley, this is a seaside town and has a stunning harbour. Stanley is a place which often captures the hearts of the British as it has eight English pubs, Double Decker buses and the old red telephone boxes can be found scattered around Stanley. It is all what is left from the days when the British army were posted here.
The Seychelles (Seychellen) is a far cry from the Falkland Islands although you can find wide open spaces in the Seychelles too. The weather in the Seychelles is much warmer than that in the Falklands, there is not as much wildlife on this island and the main industry is the tourist industry. There is nothing British about the Seychelles, it is a beautiful getaway for all those romantics. The flight times to both the Falklands and the Seychelles are pretty similar, however getting a flight to the Falklands involves going from an army base.
The Hotels on the Seychelles (seychellen) are usually situated overlooking blue sea and white sands where as it is very different in the Falklands, the standard of hotel in the Seychelles if often a much higher specification as their main income relies on couples visiting to marry or to honeymoon.
Both of these countries have attractions which will inevitably attract different people. The majority of the people who visit the Seychelles are looking for a romantic island which enables then to spend time together. The Falklands attracts people who have an interest in history and wildlife.
