Touring Mauritius
A lot of people go to Mauritius and stay in their resort, just enjoying the luxury of the premises and the dolce far niente. I do find that to be ashamed as Mauritius has a lot to offer, and those luxury resort just reproduce our western world. Mauritius is like an Indian dish, very little meat, there’s mostly birds native of the island, bright vivid colors and warm spicy people. As I mentioned in my previous posts from 2009, the island’s population is Indian, Creole and French.
We went on a little road trip down the South West of the Island. Although I recommend going out of the resort, they are 2 very key information before you venture out: the drive on the left side of the road and drive at your own risk… unless you are used to driving in a developing country, hire a cab for the day.
We enjoyed the scenery and a wonderful lunch at the Barachois a unique little jewel of a restaurant by the sea.
