Port Lewis, Mauritius

Port Lewis is the capital city of Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. The 1st Europeans here were the Dutch in the 17th century. They were followed by the French in the 18th century, and the British in the 19th century.
The 1st picture is of an old windmill and warehouse at the port. The 2nd picture is one view of the harbor.
A redevelopment of the area around the harbor is called Le Caudan. The 3rd picture looks at one section of this upscale development.
The 4th picture is in the middle of the city and looks along the Place des Armes, a divided boulevard that ends at the parliament building. It is just visible through the trees.
The 5th picture is of the central market in Port Lewis. I do love the environment of these places. This one is spread out over several blocks.
The last picture is of a building in the colonial style. It houses the Mauritius Institute and museum of natural historyRead more
