Socotra: Greatest island on earth

This little island off the coast of Somalia is only 100km by 40 yet hosts the most diverse terrain and plant life. The debate over whether life exists on other planets seems pretty inconsequential knowing I will likely never set foot on this island.

I wonder if I were to jump on the top of one of those mushroom tree things, would coins pop up into the air for me to collect?

I am completely with you on Socotra. In fact, I have spent roughly the past three years 'working on' convincing my sceptical (and probably correct) wife about a quick hop over from London. Most of all, I want, nay, need to see the wonderfully broccoli-like Dracaena cinnabari, a marvellous wonder of nature. Maybe this year...
