Pointe Jerome Mahebourg, Mauritius, 604-1000
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.
Port Louis, Port Louis, Mauritius vmarchal... and then dropped us off along the street where a van was waiting for us. <br><br> After we got in the van we introduced ourselves to the driver and the guide, then were on our way. We stopped by a currency exchange and a grocery store where we could pick up some local rum (sugar cane took up 90% of the crops grown on the island). As we continued to drive along the beach we stopped by a house, thinking that is was the ...

Mahebourg, Mauritius mzmiit... We said we were heading over that wa and he was telling us what to do and not to do and all the rest ofit, a good little chat! Then he gave us his number and said feel free to give him a call if anything goes wrong, if you want any advice or want to go anywhere - very cool! It was obvious when talking to him that he is very well educated and is a very clever man plus he looks exactly like Larry Fishbourn from the Matrix! After that it was lithotripsy time so ...
Pamplemousses, Mauritius b.herring... and seafood. All three of us picked ourselves up some bargains like pineapples for 50p, four little fruits like passion fruits for 20p, bunches of herbs for 5p as well as some local fresh fish called 'l'Capitaine' and had them gutted and filleted infront of us! There we had no trouble but in the souvenir section (we needed beach towels lol) you are hounded left right and centre for lots of different thoings, mainly knock-off clothes, but we got our towels ...
Pamplemousses, Mauritius b.herring... information, explaining they had come from Australia anyway and we were waved through. So, the end of our African adventure. 4&1/2 weeks on the go, traversing huge stretches of Africa, has been an amazing experience. It was challenging to manage without our luggage and even though we were travelling light at 13 kilos for each of our packs, we have learnt through hard experience that we can manage with less. Now to the planning of our next travels!
Mahebourg, Mauritius heatheravan... the tongue of the beast. The owner warns us: it will take 45 minutes. No worries: we have a perfect view and a good glass of wine. The waitress is cr.ppy. Which starts us up on the Mauritians: they have that laid back, tropical attitude, which automatically results in slow service and laziness. We are used to that. But they lack the friendliness, the warmth and the smile of countries like Thailand, Turkey, Sri Lanka, ... . This expensive ...
Mahebourg, Mauritius tonyandmarina... it clear they were going to sleep. We went to a somewhat abandoned shopping center where many of the stores had gone out of business. It was sort of sad, not because I wasn't able to buy anything (No worries, I was) but because the depressed area reminded me a bit of downtown Cleveland. We had a nice lunch there and then returned to the hotel to lie out and play in the pool. A few of the girls had returned to the ship for SAS trips so there were only 6 of us for the day time. When we ...
Port Luis, Mauritius snhal24... we walk the town again, with our swim gear, to check out the bus timetable, and maybe get the bus to Anse Lazio, further up the coast. The bus timetable gives us no chance of getting there today, so we decide to walk the main road to the next bay, which has snorkelling, according to the map. From the road, we find that we can walk down the beach to pick up the road at the start of the headland, then walk the road through jungle ...
Port Louis, Mauritius diannemurray... Even forgot their names - they were 2 cousin brothers - on a tour of the island; Riding public transport and experiencing the country like the locals. They told us about this huge bread they eat in South Africa - Bunny chow?? (http://www.congocookbook.com/c0192.htm l Yes. Bunny Chow. It's not food for rabbits. It's not made from rabbits. Bunny Chow is the result of an only-in-South-Africa combination of Asian curry, European bread, and South African apartheid). Sounded like the ...
