First of all we got to the airport, and I went through the metal detectors like 4 different times, before I realized I had a condom in my small pocket.  The foil was setting the damn thing off!  It cracked me up!  So then we get into our flight, which had a ton of duct tape on …

only 5 days in Mauritius

As soon as I woke up (having had little sleep playing AC games all night!) I went and started calling airlines. As the Condor flight wasnt going to leave till monday and there is a weight restriction we were not even sure we could get off the island, we try to find an alternative flight out and wh…

Hotel Surcouf is located on the east coast,next to "trou d'eau douce",a small village. There are 55 rooms, rather large with view on the lagoon. We had the "all inclusive formule", with all the meal and cocktail unlimited, very good!!! The swimming pool is small, the food is rather good and varied …

It was a good and relaxing experience too. In addition to sea, beaches and good reading I went to Port Louis, Ile aoux Cerfs and some of the common suggested places. What I like more are landscapes, vegetation and plants in the inside. Moving with the car and passing "poverty" little town I was surprised to see local people smiling and enjoying their life much more than people who has everything where I live...

Honeymoon to Mauritius Honeymoon was simply amazing! Was so excited that I had very little sleep the day we were suppose to depart for Mauritius. Which was good actually, as 8 hours on the plane, sleep would make time past faster. We took a cab to the airport at 7 in the morning. Still s…

An amazing trip away to the country my borfriend was born.

Rich in cultural diversity and harmony, crystal clear aqua blue water...temperature in the mid-70's, sun, flying fish, out in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and you realize you've arrived at the very destination the travel magazines have been teasing you for years! It's even better and more beautiful than you've imagined!

Ah the beautiful island of Mauritius... I am in absolute paradise. After Air Mauritius loosing my boyfriends bag I thought my trip was sure to be doomed. We spent so much time looking around and leaving contact details that we were sure our airport pickup would have taken off. Yet our trusty bus dr…

Mark and I spent our summer holiday of 2006 in Mauritius. I'd been with Mum and Dad when I was about 13, so I didn't really remember it. We were there over Mark's birthday and the Beau Rivage Hotel was great - staff sent chocolates to our room and we had a fantastic coffee birthday cake …

After being in the developing world, mauritius was a sight for sore eyes and the beginning of a new phase of my trip. I came and went via mauritius as a hub for travelling elsewhere, my first passage out of mauritius I organised on my first day in port louis, I pre-booked all my flights in the area…

The Botanical Gardens of Pamplemousses are definitely a must-see on Mauritius. The gardens are known to naturalists throughout the world for their large collection of indigenous and exotic plants. The 60-acre garden boasts 500 different species of plants, of which 80 are palms. Of particular interest are the giant water lilies, a spice garden and the Talipot Palms, said to flower every 60 years after which they die.

Another amazing time in paradise!

During the racing season in Mauritius, Champ De Mars is the best place to be on a Saturday afternoon. this place is alive with sound, color, hustle, bustle and an atmosphere that will bring you out in goosebumps.
