Casuarina Hotel Trou aux Biches

Et 4 jours pour faire le reste de l ile maurice, ancienne ile de france. 4 jours c est peu mais la promotion aerienne que j ai eu m inpose ces dates. En effet, le trajet reunion - ile maurice est un vol qui est dit un des plus chers du monde, 20 minutes de vol sont facturees entre 250 et 500 euros.

... time to head back to the ship.<br><br> This port really allowed me, as well as my fellow shipmates, to just sit down and not be rushed. I could sit on our patio, or a beach, with a drink in my hand, with no worries on my mind. I did not have to be anywhere at a certain time. I had no trips scheduled, no planes I had to make, no buses I had to be on. All I had planned was to have the time of my life, alongside my friends, which I did.

... group of security! Bloody tourists! We then headed home for Tim to prepare an awesome dinner of chicken and sausages that had been left over from the BBQ that people had brought with them but not cooked. After that we sat down with a cup of tea and a wee dram of nice local vanilla rum and watched Amazing Grace - a film about the slave trade, and quietly dozed off near the end - the perfect time for bed!

... very suspect, with all the right things on it but not looking quite right but hey. Then there was the obligatory 'interesting patient of the day' which today was a 22 year old girl who had ingested caustic soda to try and commit suicide and hadn't succeeded but did succeed in giving herself a massive stricture in her oesophagus ( big narrowing in the gullet). They had tried to dilate it several times which didnt work, and because the ...

... of Port-Louis. Well, the museum's really a dusty old ****** place, with old *****-tourists occasionally dropping by - but there's this cool collection of sea beasts over there. Well, I had second thoughts about going back into the sea - but I was reassured that those creatures couldn't be found in the lagoon. Heh, I was relieved.And there's the ever-so-popular Dodo, an indigenous bird of Mauritius, a bit of a fat ass, really. The Dodo couldn't ...

... the communities we visit, so I don't feel as bad about it. I woke up late, got ready and ate lunch before we pulled into the port. Today we weren't as fast about getting down to the gangway before everyone else so we had to wait about a half hour before getting off. To get from our ship to the rest of the island, you have to take a ferry over to the mainland. They call it a water taxi, and it was my first adventure of the day. Not the water taxi ...

Last day here and I am in morning... We just had great massages and are heading out for our last day at the beach. Doug had a dream that Lola was limping when we came home...so guess it is time to come home. Seems he misses her a lot! I almost kicked his butt yesterday. I was barganing at the market for a table cloth...got it down to 800 rupees and he told the guy, keep the 1000. Thanks for busting my game Lobster Boy. Our time is running out, so bye for now.

... going to the beach and relaxing every until 5pm and then heading home for dinner. We are pretty good at finding our way around Trou aux Biches and we have even found a great little bakery just a few minutes away. We are going to be here for another two weeks. Today is Shaylagh birthday and we've spent the whole day at the beach at Pereybere. We will be going back home for cake from the local bakery.

... to ask a person where they were from they would the community they belong to to explain their way of living and background. When abroad they say they are Mauritian but "Creole" when on the island. The prison was really eye-opening and the trip all around was really powerful. After women's world Lauren and I got a cab to Flick and Flack beach. The beach house we rented was about 30 minutes away from port and the drive was beautiful. The geography of Mauritius is high ...

... out of the water is pairs and threes, swimming under the boat and popping up on the other side. They are so cute. Well I fell back asleep waiting for us to get to wherever we were going. I didn't need to wait long because we soon dropped anchor and scuba masks, snorkels and flippers were handed out, which have probably never been sanitized, oh well you can't have everything. The majority of the coral reef looked dead, but I did see quite a lot of fish ...
