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.

Mauritius was a nice place to kick back, take a breath of fresh air (something hard to do in some of the countries we have been), and admire the beauty the country had to offer. A couple days before my arrival to Mauritius I still had no idea where I was going to stay. Many of my friends already had plans for staying in beachfront villas in Flic en Flac, but they already had too many people staying with them. I found out ...

... right next to the lake. There were large statues of the Gods just out in the water overlookig the temple in all sorts of bright colours with lots of little fish swimming around them. Just infront of the entrance was a statue of a cow overlloking the temple that all of the Hindus give an offering to before entering. After taking our shoes off we went in and were greeted with a blessing and having our '3rd eye' painted on our foreheads that was ...

... something from the experience' we were then guided to the operating theatres. There we got changed in to 'one size fits all' humungous scrubs, mask and cap and ushered into theatre 2 to meet our consultant, who said hello, and as it was so busy (about 10 people in the theatre) we headed to theatre 2 for a cholocystectomy followed by a upper lobectomy for a guy with probable lung cancer which was incredible as you could see loads of the anatomy and a ...

... We grabbed some fruit and boarded the bus, which took us on a slow 2 hour journey to the town closest to the waterfall. Luckily there was a 5 seater taxi waiting and Chris negotiated a fare that would take us to the waterfall, then on to a crocodile park that had giant turtles. The waterfall was nothing special, but the park was excellent and we had a great time together. Having Chris, Alex and Marian to sightsee with was very relaxing ...

... Anta. Also about travelling overland, Majunga and Comoros. Plus; they have a 100 Euro left over in Mada money. And they cannot exchange them. We can have them for half price. We bought some nibbles and some drinks and we watch 'life on Mars' and go to sleep. Next morning: we buy the calling card and call Air Madagascar. Sounds simple and fast but: it never is!!! To make a long story short: after HOURS, we ...

... when they weren't supposed to. Being probably one of the only sober people in the entire complex, I found myself constantly watching out for my friends, making sure they wore shoes because of all the broken glass, and making sure they basically didn't do anything stupid or inappropriate. I'm glad that I wasn't drinking though, it was kind of nice to know that there was at least one sober person if anything bad really happened, and watching these kids ...

... and loose items rattling inside. After doing the rounds of the park, we headed half a km down the steep hill on the main road to look at the waterfall, which was nicely set in luxuriant jungle. We were hoping for a bus stop at the falls, but no such luck, so we tramped back uphill to wait for the bus back to Anse Volbert, where we upset the bus system by getting it to stop where we wrongly thought there was a stop, so we could get ...

... site for hundreds of thousands of Hindus. Ever since 1897 they have come to pray to Shiva on Maha Shivaratree which has become the largest Hindu festival outside of India. * Casela Bird Park - Situated on west coast, near Flic en Flac (beach). This park contains many different species of birds such as parrots, pheasants, and pink pigeons which are highly endangered. There are also other animals to see such as monkeys, tortoises, leopards ...

... in the center of the island. Models here are made from original designs. They are intricate, completely hand-made and each is a work of art. See: http://mauritius.voyaz.com/maquettes-ba teaux/homepage-ship.htm We ended up buying a ship (don't remember the name now). It was one that sunk close to the Northern coast of Mauritius - a trade ship. It's still inside the "fragile" pkg. we got it back in. One day it will occupy a place in a nice glass case in our living room when ...
