Saint Helena
SH
"Where the only thing more abundant than the island's lush greenery is the population of British expats complaining about the lack of decent coffee."
Saint Helena: "Home to the world's most remote and exclusive airport, where the only thing more scarce than Wi-Fi is a decent slice of pizza."
Saint Helena: "The only place where the phrase 'island time' is less a charming clichΓ© and more a desperate attempt to justify the lack of anything resembling a functioning public transportation system."
Saint Helena is famous for being the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's second exile and death.
Jonathan the tortoise, who lives on the island, is the world's oldest known living land animal, born around 1832.
