... the island. Mauritius is about 60 miles long and 30 miles wide. The beaches are amongst the most beautiful in the world and the turquoise sea in the lagoons is a delight. The temperature of the sea is between 24 - 28 degrees celsius depending on the season ( winter - june to september.......Summer - october to may ). What would also impress the visitors is ...

... No thanks' about a hundred times we jumped in the car and headed off. We went through Curepipe, a busy town thats good for shopping, Floreal which is renound for its duty free shops, model ships etc and Vacoas which is also a busy town and has a massive reservoir/lake where the majority of the tap water comes from for Mauritius. All of this was on the way to Grand Bassin, the holy lake for Hindus on the island. You arrive down a very long road ...

... some diving and picking up mask, snorkels and fins. It was a little windier than normal on the beach but still more than warm enough to sit out in just shorts although i still haven't caught much of a tan!

They had eaten with the family and were now swapping travel stories and planning to watch a DVD. We moved into the lounge and watched the movie Madagascar, enjoying some laughs. Next morning at breakfast, we said goodbye to Cyril who was heading off to see a waterfall, then to one of the other beaches to stay. New ...

... through all the pages to end up with THE question: where do we send the ticket or will you pick them up in ... Paris. WHAT?

They keep me on hold till ... 17h30 and then I get the message: our offices are no longer open. I cannot answer to the hotel offers, before we have a ticket. We go growl, growl ...

... the bar apparently had been recommended to everyone else on SAS as well because when we got there there were about 200 other SASers. While we're in port we usually try to stay away from where the big crowds of SAS kids go for a few reasons. First, many of the students who travel is herds are the ugly Americans that embarrass us and give us a bad name. Second, we like to get away because whenever we enter a port the SAS population tends to take over the city. But although there were a ...

... into the sack. Found out that all they had was a R150 buffet, for which we had neither the energy nor the appetite. Walked the street looking for an alternative, but did not find anything as we didn't walk far enough, so headed back along the dark street, with "dark voices" in the trees offering us black market change. Settled for an icecream at great cost, mixed with our can of fruit salad, opened with our trusty mini-leatherman ...

* Black River Gorge National Park - new (2002) Visitor Centre in the Black River Valley at the NW end of Park. A new (tarmacked) road leads to the Centre from Grande Rivière Noire on the west coast, 25 km south of Port Louis on the A3. Mahebourg might be a good place for a base hotel. * Cape Malareux * Île aux Aigrettes Nature Reserve - nice island just outside Mahébourg. Only accessible with an organized tour - a lot of small islands with ruins ...

This, we did for 6 days in a row... 3 days on a guided tour organized by the hotel (paid for as part of boarding and lodging) and 3 days on a rental car we arranged ourselves (costs about 1000 Mauritian Rupees for a full-day 6-8 hours hire) On the first day we went to the most beautiful beach - "Ile aux cerfs" (pronounced Isle O Surfs) in the eastern part of the island. It takes 3 ...
