Do You Want To Know A Secret?
(CBS)
Photographers trying to get a shot of Paul McCartney on his honeymoon would probably have a tough time.
The former Beatle and his new bride Heather Mills are reportedly honeymooning in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean.
State-run radio says the couple flew in after their lavish wedding at a castle in Ireland.
The exact location hasn't been disclosed. There are more than a dozen private islands in the chain, which is popular with the super-rich.
The most exclusive and private resort is on Fregate Island, a wild, tropical island that's been described as a "Swiss Family Robinson Win the Lottery" experience.
Fregate is popular among bird watchers and is home to one of the world's rarest beetles, the giant tenebroid beetle. The island is popular with celebrities because it's extremely difficult to reach and surrounded by dangerous rocks, reefs and seas that keep uninvited boats well away.
Tour operators and hotel staffs in the Seychelles also are famous for their discretion; none would confirm or deny whether McCartney and his bride were there.
Former Beatle George Harrison and British actor Peter Sellers once owned an estate on the Seychelles, Mahe, but the government seized the land in the 1970s. In recent years, British Prime Minister Tony Blair has visited the Seychelles twice with his family and stayed on the island of La Digue.
