mind the step (Mauritius)





Bonjour!

Mauritius, aaah, beautiful Mu... interesting place with it's strong influences of French, Indian and African. Fields and fields of sugarcane, little winding roads, friendly people. This has been an amazing layover/little work holiday. We stayed at a resort for 2 days!!! I had my own little villa overlooking a lake. It was peaceful and serene, birds singing somewhere... Although we didn't receive an allowance on this trip, it included all our food and activities. I went kayaking as well as on a boat trip out to go snorkeling. It was awesome! Then I met up with Anju, aaah beautiful Ju, accompanied by her cousin and brother and we took a little drive around the island. Even though it was winter, the weather was gorgeous.

I watched telly for a while and was pleasantly surprised to see Afrikaans speaking people, some celebrities and other South Africans on there.

Crew were great and we had a lot of fun. I would go back anytime

Au revoir
A
