    Seychelles episode

    Something odd about the house rental costs ....

    2nd appt they are shown on gated community away from the sea, no views, average size rooms etc
    Couple say Oh - this must be way over our budget etc etc - and it is by some £300 or so

    3rd Appt - on a raised prominentary, overlooking a beautiful indented bay - un-restricted 180 degree views of the sea, massive rooms, balcony the size of a small football pitch. a poor mans james bond sort of pad

    Couple agree its all very nice, but no hint of "this must be way over our budget" comments etc
    and surprise suprise its right on budget

    Chalk and Cheese properties - but prices doesn't reflect ?

    Always seems like it's the selfish men chasing a dream and dragging the unimpressed family along for the ride.
    Enjoying it though ;)

    Sometimes why EY make out these places are so hard to get to....

    The other night they showed the family travelling to Tortola(BVI) and having to change planes twice - London- Barbados, Barbados- Antigua and finally Antigua to Tortola........ With daily flights direct to Antigua on Virgin and/ or BA, why add in the stop in Barbados???

    I agree that it seems to be the men with badly researched pipe dreams who want to uproot their families..... Anyone who has spent any time at all in Paradise would surely KNOW that wages are low, and imported goods are expensive, and that healthcare and schools are not always free in expects/ incomers
