Just back on the ship from paradise!! Had an amazing time in
Mauritius…it went too fast!! Mauritius is a small island off the coast of
Madagascar.  You can get around the whole island in about an hour. We were only there from Thursday to Saturday. Everyone compared this port to Spring Break because we just finished midterms and it is spring in Mauritius. Most people on SAS rented villas to stay in. Nine friends and I rented one in ...

Mauritius, one the most popular tropical destinations in the world and has loads to offer you while on a holiday to this Paradise Island. Mauritius has some of the finest beaches in the world, old cathedrals, world heritage sites, a unique lifestyle and the most hospitable population which adds an extra flavour to your holiday. To make the most of this vacation and see Mauritius through the most reliable tour operator on island ...

... and the role of women in the church, among other topics. I felt it was a useful discussion of good questions.

I returned to the hotel late in the afternoon, and called a member who hadn’t been able to be present today. He said he was feeling better and hoped we could get together during my stay. We agreed to meet tomorrow for lunch in Port Louis, which will be very nice.

I will certainly be ready to crash early tonight.

... again, I chatted with a few of the people I'd met in line the previous day. We were all hopeful that we'd leave this time. Again we waited until the official boarding time, and then, looking up found that the board read "delayed" until 12:00, about 2 ½ hours. The pilots still didn't like the look of the weather over the Indian Ocean. Back to the coffee shop for a third cup of coffee, and a long wait. Finally at ...

... 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 ...

... Crème de Menthe, and grenadine, and a B52, which didn't taste very good but they light it on fire before you suck it down with a straw, so that was exciting. We were six of about ten SASers at the bar for quite awhile, so we sat around the table just relaxing and chatting before the DJ starting playing good dance music. It was later in the evening at this point, so more SAS kids were starting to show up, but I spent the rest of my evening speaking ...

... a large drum which I am very excited about and got a great price on. However, I didn't think about how in the world I was going to get it back to the ship much less home. I took the drum out of the bag and put it by the strap around my back and keep walking through the crowded market. I kept hitting people with my drum and got the strangest looks from people. I didn't want to go back to the ship to just put the large drum down so I just walked around for the next two hours ...

... the best place to go at night was. She told us that if we come back to the restaurant at 10 then they would take us to this place right down the road, where there was a "Nationally known artist" (we received a flyer of it earlier) but how big are you if your nation is the size of Rhode Island? Anyway it sounded liked fun so we peaced out and said we would probably be back later. Next it was decided that we were to ride the bus back to Port Louis (where we are docked) instead of taking a ...
