Ile de France

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.

Relaxation

... and had some drinks. It was quite fun with everyone there. Once the time came, we all headed out to a local club where we heard was the place to be on Friday night. After locking up our house, our large mob headed towards the club. Once to the club we found out that it was about $10 to get in. My roommate, Brad, went in for free to take a look for us. He came back shacking his head, saying it’s really not ...

Skirting the edges of a cyclone

... with us..." I didn't really want to have an "experience", just a quiet flight to Mauritius, but there you have it. There was quite a lot of storm activity starting around Madagascar about halfway through the flight. As we flew over Madagascar I thought of all the political trouble going on there. Disputed elections have led to a lot of political violence and people have been shot in the streets of Antananarivo. I ...

... and gave them a ring. Typically we headed the wrong way and it took us a while to find them but we did - in the meantime we thought we'd give Tim and Lou some time which subsequently meant losing them, but afetr Lud went for a jog we found them and it was fine! We dropped the girls back at their place so they could prepare and then we headed to Shooters. This was a bar restaurant that everyone had recommended, maily i think because it is a very western ...

Leg Time......

... a couple of bleeds he was down to the bone from a superior aspect (on top) and i was asked to hold the foot up so he could scrape the tissue off of the bone, then he put an instrument inferior to the bone (underneath) and asked for the 'Jigli' saw, which is basically a bit of serrated cheese wire which was put round underneath the bone and then using a see-saw motion he cut through the bone. Holding onto the leg while he did ...

Avec la famille Mauricienne

Yesterday we spent a relaxing day on Pereybere beach, we decided to cut back on our spending (after over spending the day before) and made our own lunch, so that we could go to the best Indian restaurant in the North of Mauritius. Unfortunately our search for Nirvana (the name of the restaurant) proved fruitless as the place no longer existed. Instead we went for the ...

Port Louis! Markets and coconuts

... us polished off two chow meins, fried rice, steamed rice, sweet and sour pork and chicken, and garlic shrimp, and then we ordered another plate of chow mein and a second sweet and sour chicken. Stuffed to the max, we walked back to the pier and Katie called her brother while the rest of us did a little bit of shopping in the one store that was open before we took the water taxi back to the ship. I was exhausted by this point, so I fell asleep pretty ...

Easy Living!

It did not take us very long to settle into the rhythm of life in Trou d'Eau Douce. Translated literally, the name of the village means "sweet water hole". It is where the river meets the ocean; the fresh water meets the salt water. The spot is actually about 200 meters from our house. Local women gather there everyday to do laundry on the rocks. We like Trou d'Eau Douce because it has maintained the charm of the ...

... they took it into the back. I sat there waiting, I felt like I was at the hospital waiting on a diagnosis. After a while he came back out and told me he would have to keep it over night and oder the parts knowing that there was no hope of it being fixed that day I stared crying and without saying a word just started crying and walked out and got back into the cab and cried the whole way back. We get back to the waterfront and the cab driver charges me 300 rupees for the ride ...

Curepipe or bust

... we got there, I thought that he took us to the wrong place, the place was like a outdoor fruit market, not what I was looking for. But there were other little shops and a mall of sorts close by. There were so many hindu shops full of beautiful fabric for saris. And shoes, so many shoes for way cheap. We wandered around for a bit, and saw a lot of stray dogs, they are everywhere. That's the one thing that you are supposed to ...
