... speaking areas in particular, the situation in Reunion and Mauritius, the fall festival in France – where the Prodigues plan to attend this year – the visit of the Prime Minister, the social and economic situation in Reunion and the world, and many other topics as well. It was 3:00 pm by the time we finished and my eyelids had grown heavy after two short nights and a glass of wine, so I excused myself, and went back to the apartment for a siesta.

I was back ...

This morning I walked down the hill at 08:00. We had a light breakfast, and continued our ongoing discussions for another hour or so. Laval then drove me into Saint Denis to show me the capital city.

... pour rien au monde sa combi intégrale, sous peine de remonter toute bleue (avec la chair de poulpe, ahahah). La réputation de la ville n'est plus à faire, à tel point que le Championnat de France de photo sous-marine 2007 se conclut par une étape à Saint-Leu. En plus, entre la balade en bateau avec vue directe sur les versants de l'île et la grosse glandouille obligatoire ...

Didn't take long to get our bags, out to get info, helpful girl on the desk could not find us two consecutive nights at a budget hotel, so settled for one at the Le Mascareignes, recommended in the book, then get E300 cash, and a flash mercedes taxi for an E20 comfortable ride to our hotel.

... the Piton Maïdo, where you can go by car from St Paul. You'd better arrive there early in the morning before the fog appears. * Cilaos: Accessible by car from St Louis, but twisty road!

Particular type of lentil. Wine of Cilaos - very sweet wine, which you'd rather have as an ...
