After dealing with my stolen credit card, Emma showed us her new water-based skill developed in Bournemouth before we all set out in the glass bottom boat to see the coral and a variety of fish. As usual, I felt sick from about 10 mins into the 45 min trip!
Once ashore I walked the length of the bay to get my land legs back.
Taught Adam and Emma how to play crib during pre dinner drinks .
We cycled to Cap Malheureux in the morning and visited some lovely beaches. Then before lunch, Adam and I went out on a pedalo. After lunch, Emma and I each took a Stand-Up Paddleboard out to sea - wondered if I'd drift to Africa but managed to turn it round eventually! Tonight's entertainment is Bollywood but I feel I've done enough activities for one day 😁.
After a breakfast by the pool we took a stroll into Grand Baie and arranged the underwater walk for Emma and Adam plus the day tour to see the sights of Mauritius.
Then we returned to Merville Beach where I gave my new snorkel mask an outing. Adam and I then played with the water ball before he set off for a couple of laps of water skiing. I took afternoon tea with Allison and Emma before watchingRead more
After a leisurely start, we walked to a local beach where Adam and Emma caught the transfer boat to the Underwater Sea Walk platform. After donning their breathing helmets they walked amongst the coral and were visited by several fish. Viewing fish was the main activity of the day as Adam and I both saw a variety of fish during our afternoon snorkel. Another lovely sunset to end another great day.
Today we took a day long tour visiting a volcanic crater (Trout aux Cerfs), the island's largest natural reservoir, the Shiva statue at the Grand Bassin, Alexandra waterfalls at the Black River Gorge (where we also came across a troop of Macaque monkeys), Chamarel's waterfall and seven coloured earth, and following a view of Morne Brabant and I'ile aux Benitiers in the south west corner weRead more
A day of lounging today, listening to the Indian Ocean lap against the Sandy beach whilst peering out between the palm trees from the comfort of the sun lounger.
That lasted all of 5 minutes for me, then I found coverage of the British Lions v New Zealand rugby test match on the Tune in radio app on my phone which was great, apart from the loss!
Snorkelling straight off the beach was my afternoonRead more
A glorious day spent relaxing on the beach for the majority of the time. We did take the snorkel trip out beyond the reef and saw lots of different fish. Allison and Emma took out a pedalo and then Allison and I took a mid-afternoon stroll around the bay for yet more exercise!
As always, Chandan and Arden from the bar looked after us throughout the day and it's nice they remember our names givenRead more
After a good flight with Air Mauritius, we've made it to Merville Beach Hotel in Grand Baie - our home for the next fortnight.
The rooms are spacious and it's a one minute walk to the beach, restaurant and pool - lovely.
The girls enjoyed their first cocktail before going to Yoga. Adam and I played dominoes whilst drinking a beer and then returned to the beach to watch the sun go down.🍹🍻
Im Zweiertrupp ging es heute in der Früh den Le Morne Barbant erklimmen. Während sich die Mädels der körperlichen Anstrengung entzogen um den Tag am Strand zu geniessen ging es für die Bois zu einem der schönsten Berge auf Mauritius.
Angekommen wurden wir darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass er Berg nur 3/4 besteigbar sei und der schwierigste Teil aufgrund von "Erneuerungsarbeiten an denRead more
Da ich mein geliebtes iPhone vor Mauritius im Indischen Ozean versenkt habe, wird das Reisetagebuch in Zukunft vermutlich weniger intensiv betrieben. Daher verweise ich auf Ludgers Blog, um auf dem aktuellen Stand zu bleiben ;)
Anbei noch ein paar Eindrücke vom Paradies 🇲🇺
Ulrike KempfDas ist wirklich großes Pech und ein herber Verlust. Hab mich grade so schön bei Dir eingelesen...Hoffentlich gibts noch eine Lösung des Problems und Fortsetzung kann folgen.
