Mauritius Travel Blogs

Background: Discovered by the Portuguese in 1505, Mauritius was subsequently held by the Dutch, French, and British before independence was attained in 1968. A stable democracy with regular free elections and a positive human rights record, the country has attracted considerable foreign investment and has earned one of Africa's highest per capita incomes. Recent poor weather and declining sugar prices have slowed economic growth, leading to some protests over standards of living in the Creole community.

On the way home Africa » Mauritius » Port Louis
Thursday 27th December Tana Airport 13:06 (UK), 16:06 (Madagascar) In approximately 54 minutes I will be heading down the runway and leaving this Fair Isle. A month has passed very quickly and I feel I have done a lot, seen a lot, learnt a lot, and changed a bit. You know, I think I have managed to slow down. Just a little bit, but I am fine with dead time now. There has to be some time in which nothing particular happens and in which you have time to be with your thoughts and yourself. I have never previously been content [View Full Entry]

Reunion on Reunion Africa » Reunion » Reunion
We didn't expect to be here when we left on our big trip but here we are on a little piece of France a couple of thousand miles away from Europe in the middle of the Indian Ocean. We have been eagerly awaiting this leg of the journey for about 3 months, and now we are here, to all intents and purposes in France. There are Super-U's, Carrefours, Credit Agricoles, Boulangeries, the road signs are in French, the cars' plates are the French ones (and of course the cars are all Peugeots / Citroens)... and the French are... well... French! It [View Full Entry]

Last Port Of Call Africa » Mauritius
We decided to go to Mauritius to visit a mate of ours from London, but due to a bit of a cock up with telephone numbers and dates, unfortunately he wasn't even on the island when we arrived! Determined to make the best of a bad job, and not knowing much about Mauritius, we scoured the web in search of information about places to stay and things to do here. We finally settled on a little place towards the North of the island called Pereybere, and landed a pretty nice unit complete with all mod-cons, sea-views and a pet kitten?! At [View Full Entry]

We arrived on Mauritius on September 2nd in the morning and, after haggling with the taxi drivers, got a ride up the east coast to the little town of Trou d’Eau Deuce. We spent two days here walking around the town, relaxing on the small beach area to the north near Belle Mare, and enjoying the local food. Having come in the spring and before the tourist season the area was very quiet. The weather for the most part was nice but the water was too cool for swimming or snorkelling. On the 4th we took the local bus up to [View Full Entry]

honeymoon Africa » Mauritius
Had an amazing ten days in mauritius chilling out to the max. We were so tired and emotional for the first few days I can hardly even remember it but I think it's fair to say we have never encountered such luxury before. They actually didn't let you lift a finger, to the point where it was quite embarassing. The food was brilliant big massive buffets every night and we had a romantic candlelight dinner on the last night which was very special. Whole resort was lovely, totally tailored for couples with wee private spots and four poster beds looking out [View Full Entry]

izzit? Africa » Mauritius » Flic en Flac
como estan ustedes? yo de vuelta de Ciudad del Cabo. Han pasado cinco meses desde mi primera visita al pais del ganado y me voy a quedar un ratito en Namibia para trabajar un poco, no demasiado. Ya he hecho mis pinitos con algunos turistas gabachos de forma ilegal pero desde el viernes -despues de mucho papeleo y mucho mamoneo- tengo el permiso de trabajo como guia turistico! La visita a Sudafrica fue un tanto fugaz pero muy divertida. En Ciudad del Cabo nos reunimos un grupete de gente que conocimos por el camino, de aqui y de alla, gente muy [View Full Entry]

Well! After madly packing up the house, moving, unpacking, and cleaning our rental place, Clinton and I were ready at 11pm the night before we were to head off!!! Very very last minute job as per usual. We didn't get any shopping done so we're without quite a few important items! As I have just found out, we didn't bring our vaccination certificates with us which I've been freaking out over, however we've just been advised that a photocopy (which I have) *should* be ok, we just might be charged a fine for not having the original... every time we pass [View Full Entry]

Already 1 month in Mauritius and I laughed so many times about things that happened in mauritius: Look at the photos and comments Unfortunately I didn't have my camera on me, otherwise I would've taken a photo! I went to the registrar of companies to get some information. Arrived there (of course it had changed address a didn't think it was a good idea to mention it on their website), and asked for a file. Him : Oui monsieur alors vous cherchez son numero dans la liste, je le note, je prend le dossier, je vous donne un papier, vous [View Full Entry]
