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.

... work on the island a couple of centuries ago. Their descendants have kept alive their traditions and their language. The diverse population are very tolerant of each other's customs and their warm welcome is legendary around the world. I have posted a couple of videos which will give anybody considering to go there an idea of what this wonderful place looks like.

Mario, Merv's uncle, had kindly offered to take us and Anna down and show us the south of the island so we gladly accepted! So it was an early wake up and drive over to Tombaeu Bay where Mario hopped in the car and took the wheel. We realised instantly how if we had tried to see any of this ourselves we wouldn't have had a chance to find anything, not in any sort of hurry anyway, so we were very lucky to have such a good guide! Our first stop was Trou ...

... paediatrics and everything in a short space of time. The consultant was also keen to ask us questions and see what our knowledge was like, and also teach us on any important points that came up, and his english is good which is nice! After this we followed on ward round and agian saw some sights! There were lots of big wounds after surgery that were still very raw but poked and prodded by the doctors! There were also lots of ...

... to Madagascar and have the coolest guide ever! He really set up a great trip for me without even knowing I was coming, so I have to give him credit where it is due... he was amazing!) After the time change, I wound up getting my bag in Mauritius around 11pm. With that in mind, I decided not to venture to the north of the island (heavy tourist area) where the cheapest hotels are about $400 per night. Instead, I find a hotel/hostel ...

Immigration at Mauritius: Our pickup IS at the airport and drops us off at our new home, where we are greeted by Véronique Borsato, the owner. The guesthouse is cute and we have an OK room. We go to bed for a couple of hours and go hunting for food and internet later on. We find a extremely dodgy Chinese and to my surprise, Dr T agrees to eat there. We start our malaria pills. It is a type IV malaria pill. They are the ...

... hungry we ate some snacks and continued to lounge around. When it was nearing dinner time we started to shower and get ready for the evening. We had been recommended an Italian restaurant in Flic en Flac for dinner, so once everyone had come back and showered we all went out for dinner. One of my favorite things about this trip had been going to dinner in ports. I absolutely love the friends I have made and there is nothing better than sharing a bottle of wine with these girls, who I ...

... a saddle to the next bay. Unfortunately, there is a luxury resort, La Reserve, here, with a lot of contruction going on. The security guard wouldn't let us through to the beach, and said there was no way to the water further on, and the very corner of the beach was occupied by a sewerage works, with no way through so we were effectively euchred. We decided to walk on, anyway, up a long hill. We could see through the trees down to ...

... sour dough bread of San Francisco with cream of broccoli soup poured in the hole made in the middle of the bread! .... Many of you who have been to Hawaii will be reminded of that beautiful land when you visit this small isle on the Indian Ocean. Lots of activities here in the shallow clear warm waters around Mauritius and it's very soft powdery white sandy beaches. I actually brought back a bag of sand as a memento! Most all activities are centered around the sea, water and ...

... the first to claim the island) and also the site of the first port on the island. It was worth the drive and I got some good images. I filled the car and drove it back to the airport to turn it in. Then I checked in and headed to the business lounge. They have internet access here so I can start getting caught up with mail, and have a snack as well before the night flight to Bombay.
