Le Sakoa Trou aux Biches

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.

... was already time to head back to the ship. Saying goodbye to our house was very depressing, but somehow we got through it. We then walked down the beach and met up with some friends. After finding everyone we grabbed some breakfast right on the beach and then went over to the grocery store to buy more alcohol. No I’m just kidding, we wanted to get some snacks for onboard the ship. Once we finished our shopping, it ...

... I can't control my brain We'll run away together We'll spend some time forever We'll never feel bad anymore Hip Hip (hip hip) We'll never feel bad anymore (hip hip) no no (hip hip) We'll never feel bad anymore (hip hip) no no (hip hip) We'll never feel bad anymore (hip hip) (hip hip) No No (hip hip) We'll never feel bad anymore (hip hip) No No no no

... group of security! Bloody tourists! We then headed home for Tim to prepare an awesome dinner of chicken and sausages that had been left over from the BBQ that people had brought with them but not cooked. After that we sat down with a cup of tea and a wee dram of nice local vanilla rum and watched Amazing Grace - a film about the slave trade, and quietly dozed off near the end - the perfect time for bed!

Today started off with a well deserved lie in - well until 9 atleast! Then we headed off to Tombeau bay to meet up with Christine and a few others who were over from Canada - Dennis and Oliver. Then we 'followed' Christine on the main road through the island until we got a phone call saying 'we stopped at the supermarket', so we waited a good 45 mins by the side of the road for them to finish and we carried on the long drive down ...

... a very attractive place...except for the roads...and the drivers. We rented a car at the airport, which is inconveniently located on the opposite side of the island from where our first hotel was. Keep in mind that we're now driving on the left with Hindus and other crazies whizzing around us. Our first three days were spent on the northwest corner of this island/country. Lots of big luxury resorts and all the ...

... competitive. I signed up for seven up through India, and received zero. Because of the high demand, however, SAS combined an orientation trip with a type of service visit, a visit to a school, in Mauritius. I didn't mind getting in late until I realized it meant I would be missing my only chance at a service project on this trip. But...considering my present location I still can't complain too much. At least it's a complaint about not getting to ...

... me out. The boat took us out past the reef and we spent a while exploring. So, we are eating like rock stars...Mauritius has both Indian and French food with a bit of the traditional Mauritian stuff. I am in HEAVEN! And the tropical fruit cocktails, look out! I am waiting for Lobster Man to put on sunblock then we are heading to a local market w/ fruit, veggies, spices, etc. This afternoon...water skiing and sailing!

... are poor. The women running the program then went on to explain that most the politics in Mauritius was based on religion. On a local community the mixed races of peoples for the most part get along but in a political sense there are power problems in the politics. Mauritius has a diverse religion ethnic society and they sell to the outside world of tourists of the harmony between the races. However as the locals explained that the harmony is just a dream they sell. If you ...

... The catamaran wasn't as nice as the one from Margarita Island, but oh well. I laid myself out on the side of the boat and promptly fell asleep. I woke up freezing, the clouds were hiding the sun, it would only peak out every once in a while and beam down on us. I was so cold I couldn't even put on sunscreen. (big mistake, obviously) After about forty minutes we came a pod of bottlenose dolphins who followed our boat for a long time. They were jumping ...
