After a 6am pick-up, we're now heading home after a lovely two weeks in Mauritius. It was a shame that Dave, Julie and Laura were unable to join us but I hope they get to enjoy the place as much as we have when they do come.
I'm sure we've all put on weight and will be on diets/gym routines on ourRead more

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!

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 onRead 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 andRead more
