Last one for today!

More pics from the island of Mauritius!

















- The island is well known for its sugarcane plantations and it has a long and interesting history to it. We visited the Sugar museum, you have to go there when you visit the island...
















- inside the museum, very informative!















- they need some serious tools for the job...













- a typical roadside scene of sugar plantations and they have a few small hills around that you can ascend
















- alistar checking out the local basalt rock...they hurt the hands... this was on the coast, where a one of only two tour operators have rock climbing set-up's. outdoor sports or activities ranks very low on the recreation list...
















- the infamous Pamplemousse Botanical gardens, the have a palm tree that flower once every hundred years and then dies after that...sad
















- a night of Sega (local dance) on the beach at the Sugar Beach Hotel - unfortunately for us we did not get stay here, even though we wanted to so badly...

next time,


we will post some more before we leave on Tuesday morning next week. We have a day or two of fun in the sun left here on the island, we will make use of it!

until later, love to you all!

Finally some photos!

Hello there!

Baie jammer oor ons onvermoe om die laaste paar dae fotos te plaas...ons vra nederig omverskoning...dankie!

We are terribly sorry for not having posted the last few days, it has been hectic, and we thought you would be even more jealous if we show you these pics...

they are all from our first day on the island, the club that hosted us took us to the Il aux cerfs, a small island off the coast, gorgeous, and after madagascar, it was a welcome escape!













- Josie enjoying the water
















- and a few hours later enjoying the dancing with Viju...island style!




















- Berns with a local brew in hand!












- And the girls catching up on their tans....!
















- we did some work later that day...we promise, and had warm mauritian hospitality with the club of Flacq!


- Local mode of transport for a lot of people!

See the other posts for more pics,

be awesome!
