Bougainville Hotel Trou d'eau Douce

... driver an hour to find our villa because he only spoke French. Luckily,
one of my friends spoke minimal French, but enough to get him close to our
villa.  It was worth the wait.

On the last day we woke up at 7AM (that was a rough one) to take a speedboat
to a private island. On the island we went snorkeling, played with our frisbee,
and once again….loved life. Before we got on the ship we all stopped at the McDonalds and enjoyed McFlurrys and ...

... we were waiting for a while - a new record of half past ten! The patients today were pretty standard, diabetics, stroke, hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart disease. Also as per usual there were some sad cases like a lady who was blind because of diabetes and her kidneys were on their last legs and she was waiting to be placed on dialysis - not good. Its even worse when there are 10 ...

... there are a lot very ill looking people around and that im not entirely sure they're getting the care they need which isnt cool. There was a good case that we sepnt far too long over, a man with haemophilia who had an above knee amputation as he had bled into his knee joint and then it got septic! That was another experience - all 10 doctors crowded round the patient firing questions at him left right and centre - a bit intimidating. Then the Consultant ...

Today was the day we organised to do a catamaran trip to the north islands with the two German guys in our apartments. We were a little dubious at the start due to the weather the last couple of days but when we woke up it was incredible! We loaded up on brekkie to settle the sea sickness and headed into Grand Bay ready to jump onboard! Luckily Anna had some sea sickness tablets (which saved my life) which i wolfed down before heading onto the boat. It was a ...

... Gardens are located. We saw all sorts of exotic trees, flowers and plants and had an excellent guide who told us all about them. The gardens were quite big so we ended up spending a good couple of hours there. After that we visited an interesting museum nearby, L'Aventure du sucre, where we learned more about sugar and all things related to it including slave trade. Yesterday also happened to be Divali, the ...

Shortly before our departure from Mauritius, we went to an art gallery and restaurant named Le Maniglier in Trou d'Eau Douce. It is located on the grounds of a an old Sugar mill, with the old stone mill now converted in a gallery and restaurant. Maniglier is the last surviving student of Matisse. Her original work hang on every wall of the gallery and some are for sale and not at a budget price... The old stone building, the sugar estate surrounded by sugar cane fields ...

... went to dinner and then took the cabs back to the ship. It was then time for us to depart. The ship pulled out at 10 p.m. Mauritius was a quick trip. Now we are back on the ship and have a 7 day voyage to India. We are going to have to start rationing our water on the ship as we get closer to India because the water around India is not potable, and the filter on the ship are not able to clean the water. I think that India is really going to be an eye opener.

These falls are less impressive in height than some of the other ones we've visited. We saw them right after a heavy rain though, so they were still worth visiting. When we got there, a bunch of guys on the other side starting yelling to us, and then walking ...
