This is a top pick! ... plate: lumpy, tick, cheesy and tasteless) AND change our plans to rent a car today. We will take the bus to Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius. NOT without feeding 'our' cats. The bus ride takes 50 minutes, it is said it leaves every 20 minutes ...
Sugar museum: one of the best I have seen EVER!
This is a top pick! ... was AMAZING. Whoever designed this museum deserves a statue. It waves the history of the sugar plantations into the history of Mauritius. Even more: it starts with the world history from the 15th century (when the sugar harvest started) till the 20th. ...
Mauritius - the cheap Hawaii
... there for two nights and it really felt like we just got there when it was time to leave. The boat was in port in Port Louis, which was a little waterfront city that reminded me of a less developed, smaller version of Cape Town. A lot of the ...
Mauritius

Party Time!

Mauritius
... , it's great! Anyways it was a really fun night and then today we just hung out, walked around and are now back in Port Louis, the waterfront. It's a pretty short stop and we didn't do that much because, hey it's a tropical island in the Indian Ocean we ...
Port Louis
This afternoon Suren drove me to Port Louis, where I had a very pleasant visit with Clency at his house. His wife came in for part of our conversation. They live in a sort of sub-division in the outskirts of Port Louis, on land they lease from the State. ...

So delicious....so Mauritius
Sunday morning we arrived in Port Louis, Mauritius. I wasn't quite sure what to expect because I had never heard of the country before I found out that we were going there. Mauritius is a tiny island country off of the coast of Madagascar. Politically ...
Ile de France
Et 4 jours pour faire le reste de l'ile Maurice, ancienne ile de France. 4 jours c'est peu mais la promotion aérienne que j'ai eu m'impose ces dates. En effet, le trajet réunion - ile Maurice est un vol qui est dit un des plus chers du monde, 20 ...
