WOW!!
I cannot believe that the time has come to go back to SA already!
This trip has been filled with much laughter, many experiences and most of all FUN!!
I will NEVER regret coming to Mauritius.. It is such a beautiful, laid back and relaxed island. Once you are here, it is like you have no stress... :)
I would just like to say thank you to everyone that made my trip memorable! Honestly from the bottom of my heart I wish each one of you would realize how amazing you have made my trip!
In the 6 weeks I was here, we did soooo many things like : eating Marvelle, to seeing 7 different coloured sands, to tanning until we look like tomatoes, partying until 6 am, driving around for hours, drove myself around in Mauritius, visited the glass factory. ate many different types of foods, drank coconut water, used public transport for the first time, visited war ruins, visited a museum, went fishing at 1 am, and last but not least enjoyed every last bit of scenery..All of this put together is what makes Mauritius such an unforgettable and amazing experience.!!
Don't worry, I will be back soon, so don't miss me too much Ile Maurice ;)
LOTS OF LOVE FOR THE LAST TIME... FROM LOVELY MAURITIUS!
XOXO

Weekly wrap up
Hello EVERYONE :)
Here is a wrap up of the week's activities :)
Monday
Late afternoon, we went to Flic en Flac beach, we sat there and watched the sun set and just enjoyed our time on the beach!! The waves were really high and the sea was quite rough, but the view was still beautiful..
Tuesday
Had a very relaxed day at home, and the evening, we went to a restaurant called "Dragon Vent" the food was really amazing!
Wednesday
We spent the whole day at the house my parents are inteested in, in "Baie du Tombeau".. We had a pork spit braai, with a few friends over, it was really a lovely evening :)
Thursday
My mom & I just stayed at home, and relaxed, then at arounf 16h00, we went to the Quatre Bornes market, but we could not find what we were lokking for, so we just came back home! We then went for supper at Uncle Preeya's house, we had some wonderful Chicken curry and purri. They then decided that we should dress up in sarri, so we had a fun time dressing up.
Friday
In the morning, we headed over to Chamarel Rummery, where we took a tour of the place, and saw how the rhum was made, and the processes that have to happen before sugar cane juice is turned into rhum.. It was really a great experience, and we tasted some rhum at 11:30 in the morning!! GOOD TIMES!!
We also ate some lunch at Chamarel rummery.
We also visited this statue in Grand Basson :)
We then headed home, as we invited some friends over to have some "Italian Style" supper.. We cooked chicken lasagna and we drank red wine! It was such a great evening!
Saturday
My mom and I went with Uncle Preeya and them to Metro to buy a few things! It was so nice as there is one part of the shop where everything only costs Rs 60. Like R 15. WOW! We bought a few bargins there!
Saturday evening we went to Buddah Club, and relaxed and had a few drinks, we went home quite early though! It was fun either way :)
Sunday
Yasheelee, Vicky and I went to Flic en Flac beach, the weather was so nice and warm.. It was so much fun!!!
For supper we had braai vleis with garlic bread, pumpkin etc etc.
What a great & relaxed week!!

Weekly wrap up
29 August - 4 September
Hey ALL!! Hope everyone had a great week!! Here is the summary of the week that passed!
Monday
In the afternoon, my parents and I went to Flic en Flac beach, we walked on the beach for quite a long while, they walked so fast, they walked all the way to La Pirouge, which is quite far!!
I was feeling so lazy, so I just walked slowly behind them.. :)
Tuesday
My dad had some business to do, so my mom & I went to Trou aux biches, we tanned and tanned and tanned! haha!! At around 2pm, we headed to a little restaurant, as we were getting a little hungry.. We had such a great lunch, we then went back to the beach after lunch and tanned some more, at around 3, my dad joined us, so we all just relaxed and soaked up the sun!!
The stunning view at the Waterfront at night!
So what the people do, they make a statue out of earth(like clay) and they keep it in their houses the night before this festival, they believe that this god will take away all their sins. So the next day they bring this statue to a river and the man of the house should get into the water and put the statue in the water, it will then "melt" away over a period of time as it it made from clay or what have you.. They then splash themselves with the water as they believe that it will cleanse them.
After we watched this, we went to the Swami Vivekananda exhibition centre. It was like a exebition of a variety of things, from cars to sugar cane drinks, to shower doors to food to clothes and everything inbetween.
Friday evening we went to Aunty Mala's sister house again, as we were celebrating a birthday!!
Saturday
We went to a bungalow in Blue Bay, and we just spent the evening there.. We played Kings,made a braai, had a real South African meal.. We had Chops, braai broodjies, and pasta. It made me miss SA soo much, but I also felt like I was in SA when eating that meal.
I don't know where this plan originated from, but the boys decided that it would be fun if we go fishing at 1 in the morning... To our surprise, they did not catch anything! HAHAHAHA
Sunday
In the morning we went to the Naval museum, we were not allowed to take pictures inside, but it was the remains of the war and how Mauritius started and the different people that contributed to the history of the Island, it was very interesting to read all the stories and see all the remains of different things from any many years ago!!
What a crazy week!! Was packed and it was so much fun! Can't belive that we only have 1 week left before I leave!
Lots of love from Lovely Mauritius xoxox

My mom & I with our bright colours :)
Tuesday evening, Yasheelee, Vick & I went to El Mondo to have some pizza! It was sooo good :) When we finished our meal, we met up with Yasheena & other Vicky and we headeed over to Le Caudan waterfront, we all sat outside and relaxed... Very chilled vibes! We had some Ice- cream and a drink, then we headed home.
Having my ice cream LOL :)
Wednesday
It was a public holiday, so we just relaxed at home, early in tht afternoon, we wanted a few things from the shop, we then walked to the shop, on the way back, it started raining cats and dogs, we had to run back in the rain, we were completely soaked when we got home! It was quite fun though!! :)
Thursday
Yasheelee forced me to wake up early, we headed to the bus stop and I rode in a bus (for public transport) for the first time! It was quite a nice experience!
We went to Rose Hill and we met up with Vicky, we walked around in that shopping complex for quite a while, buying all sorts of things.. Midday we went to a restaurant and had some lunch, it was such a beautiful place its so quite and relaxed there.. Didn't want to leave there, but there was shopping to be done!! :)
After lunch we got on the bus again and went to Quatre Bornes to the market, I found some good bargins this time! It was way more relaxed than the time we went on a Sunday!
We literally shopped till we dropped!
All our shopping!!
Thursday evening we went to a bar lounge called 90 degrees.. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside, had a drink and smoked some hubbly :)
Friday
In the afternoon we went to a river and we saw the celebration of the "Ganesh Chaturthi Festival" .
So what the people do, they make a statue out of earth(like clay) and they keep it in their houses the night before this festival, they believe that this god will take away all their sins. So the next day they bring this statue to a river and the man of the house should get into the water and put the statue in the water, it will then "melt" away over a period of time as it it made from clay or what have you..
