AS THE plane dipped beneath the clouds on its approach to land at Seychelles International Airport, Brendan and I were full of anticipation. When you plan a honeymoon, you paint lots of happy pictures in your mind. The brochures are full of these glorious images, of course: infinity pools of deepest blue, sumptuous suites, dinner tables groaning under the weight of lavish buffets, happy couples gazing into each other's eyes over a sparkling glass of champagne and, naturally, palm trees nodding over brilliant white sandy beaches.
Almost three hundred yards from the shore, my pedalo was coping admirably with the calm waters of the Indian Ocean. The only sound was the dull clunk of my laboured pedalling as I scanned the coastline and enjoyed the view.

ALMOST three hundred yards from the shore, my pedalo was coping admirably with the calm waters of the Indian Ocean. The only sound was the dull clunk of my laboured pedalling as I scanned the coastline and enjoyed the view. The brand new Constance Ephelia Resort is an impressive sight, covering nearly 300 acres on the western coast of the island of Mahe, largest of 115 islands in the archipelago of the Seychelles. It's part of a simple strategy to make this corner of paradise, heavily reliant on tourism, available to more visitors. So this four-star resort at Port Launay aims to deliver better value than the five-star establishments which dominate the region. Rarely are you aware of any costcutting.

FOLLOWING the disaster in the Indian Ocean, Tony Blair's family must be thanking their lucky stars that Egypt and the Red Sea is now their favoured post-Christmas holiday destination, rather than the Seychelles, although they narrowly missed an aircrash last year at Sharm-el-Sheikh airport in Egypt. In his early days as PM, Tony Blair took his family twice to La Digue, a fashionable resort in the Seychelles.

BEEN a week for big transfers. The Seychelles Sentinel wanted to poach me from The Herald to become their new Scottish football correspondent. Accommodation would be a luxurious beach house overlooking the sea. Office hours would be 11am to 1pm, two days a week, though working from home was also an option. Hammocks would be provided in the air-conditioned office for those feeling the strain. Filling the eight-page monthly newspaper with at least two stories from back home would mean an increase in my workload but I was willing to make the sacrifice. The sports editor was in a contradictory mood, though, about letting me go. Or was he? "I wouldn't sell that mob a virus, " he snarled, before injecting a vial of ebola into my arm and booting me out the door. Alas, there was a last-minute s...

PAUL and Rachel Chandler were resting away from the public gaze today as they enjoyed their first full day of freedom on UK soil following their year-long hostage nightmare. The retired couple, pictured, touched down at Heathrow Airport last night. Their return to Britain brought to an end a 388-day ordeal which began in October 2009 when their yacht was seized by armed Somali pirates off the Seychelles.
