A Gecko Blew Up My Toaster: An English Family in Seychelles -

A Gecko Blew Up My Toaster: An English Family in Seychelles - Volume 2

Martin and Joanna Varley and their four homeschooled children have moved from recession-racked UK to the idyllic islands of Seychelles. But it is anything but paradise. They have already had to adjust to sharing their house with cockroaches and living in a world without supermarkets.

Coming up to their first Christmas, the eccentricities of Seychelles life come under the spotlight again. The family have to make their own Christmas tree and Christmas dinner is barbequed cabbage on the the beach. But the stars of this book is the islandsâ€™ wildlife as the family encounters two tailed lizards, turtle-eating ghost crabs, nuts the size of footballs and trees found nowhere else on earth.

'A Gecko Blew Up My Toaster' shines a light into corners of living on a tropical island that you donâ€™t see in the holiday brochures. This is Seychelles beyond the sun sand and sea, a world that is chaotic, crazy and sometimes downright unbelieveable.
