... Reunion as we talked about the micro-cultures of various regions, especially the “cirques”, three bowl-like valleys in the highlands, one of which is Annabelle’s native region.

Thierry left to drive Annabelle home after dinner, at which time I set up my laptop and showed Laval and Patricia some PowerPoint slides of developments in various parts of francophone-Africa. They asked many questions and were quite interested to see the photos and hear the stories. Though th

... the curtain - listen to the great and powerful OZ! But I digress; back to Saint Denis. The sun came out fully and it became very hot. We had a cold dodo beer in the garden café. The local beer is actually called Bourbon. That's the brand name, taken from the royal family of France: the Bourbons - you may not have known that was Louis XIV last name! The island of Reunion was also named after the Bourbons for a while. All ...

... des fleuves de sang, Que tu rejettes à l'océan. Et puis tu redeviens sage, Tu t'endors dans tes nuages, Et de longues années durant, Tu berces ton sommeil d'enfant. Mon île, Tu as réuni dans ton coeur, Des gens de toutes les couleurs, Comme un défi au monde entier. Pour le pire et pour le meilleur, Tu as choisi comme âme soeur, Mon île, Quand du soir au petit ...

... me free to go straight in. The Air Mauritius flight to Reunion was scheduled for 12:20. There were several successive delays. There was some problem with the equipment, and a new plane had to replace the scheduled aircraft. It was an Airbus 320, quite a large plane which required a different crew, which required them to come quickly from Port Louis or wherever they were. So we didn't leave until 2:00 pm. There were perhaps 40 passengers in a plane that ...

Vince szulei (Marie Ange es Max) a sziget nyugati reszen lakik, nem messze a tengerparttol, 300 m magasan, fantasztikus kilatassal, meg szebb naplementekkel, a teraszrol hallani a hullamokat. Itt szinte mindig szep ido van. Nem sok mindenben hasonlit Magyarorszagra Reunion, de annyiban igen, hogy a vendegszeretet az evesben mutatkozik meg. Ha nem ...

... his young son on the drums. The guests take lots of photo of the creole experience, one woman gets up and does a fair dance to the drums. Talk to the couple we met on the road. French from Haute Savoie, but very Germanic. Get treated to glasses of the local traditional flavoured rum, DP on Guava, MP on vanilla. Pretty savage. Woke by celebration after the soccer, then a good night's sleep on a good mattress with a cozy spread and doona, through till ...
