Le Mornea

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.

... family's home where we would have services. They have a new house with a view of the ocean in the distance. It was quite windy due to the cyclone, but that helped keep things a bit less warm. We were 14 for services. The Currys, an American couple, are here on business. Everyone except them, was bi-lingual. I decided to speak in English (slowly) so everyone could understand, rather than leave anyone out. Most people in Mauritius are more fluent and ...

... good fun as we were all there! The palm tree was still in bloom plus this time i actually managed to get some photos! After our little journey we again checked out the tortoises which Matty managed to feed through the railings, and the deer which we also managed to feed! After a bit more frisbee and general chill out it was closing time and we were getting ushered out by what seemed to be an ever ...

... between the two theatres to see what was going on. Tim got the shock of his life when he was standing by the head of the patient and the patient opened up his eyes and looked directly at Tim - freaked him out! There was also a bit of snoring from the patient, letting us know he was enjoying his sleep! The more and more i look around the theatres i do wonder if any of the products they are using are counterfeit as a lot of the packaging ...

... it's piracy heaven (although they've started to crack down on it - but most of the movies and recent releases appear on sale for just a few bucks), but electronics is significantly more expensive than countries such as hong-kong (they import most of their electronics stuff from Asian countries, so...). Anyway, there's the very neat Jardin of Pamplemousses to visit, which has got loads and loads of exotic and rare trees - and there's also the ...

... we both went schnorkeling in a glass bottomed boat. Rach to watch and take pictures of me swimming. The boat took us about 10 mins away to a deeper section of water where there was a lot of coral. I was given a mask and schnorkel (with many teethmarks in) and some flippers. After 5 mins the flippers were thrown back into the boat, and I was off. The mask was a bit **** too, but the coral was awesome. The fish were ok, not as varied or interesting as the stuff we saw as kids ...

... t go into. He also liked to show us which things to take a picture. He usually wouldn't move on until we had indeed taken a picture. There wasn't anyone at the Chinese Pagoda, however it was very pretty. It was on this hill that was so green and the Pagoda and its courtyard were all red and white. I wish I could read Chinese because there was writing all over the place. We went through the market again and then we all went down to have a beer and wait until the ship ...

... I have not picked up my rental bike yet for fear of killing getting run over. We spent the first few days at my aunt's place. We visited the capital city of Port Louis on Tuesday, a busy and bustling place. We visited a museum, toured China town and had ice cream at the harbour front. I will include some photos on my next post. We are now at Perebert beach in north Mauritius, we will be here for a week. I will tell you more in my next post. It is now time to hit the beach!

... lucky to see so many. We all got very sun burned because the sun is so strong in Mauritius and they say it doesn't matter how much sunscreen you wear you will still get burnt. After the catamaran ride we came back to Mauritius and went to dinner and out to some bars. That night we all went swimming at the beach because we had the beach to ourselves and we had a bonfire on the beach which was a lot of fun. There were 13 of us who stayed in the hotel and we shared four ...
