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!!

  

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.

 The stunning view at the Waterfront at night!

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.. 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
