MUSINGS FROM MAURITIUS


So what is it with these little island recluses, huh? You disembark disenchanted, a little wearied by the world and all its customs. And unbeknownst to you, the weather, the ocean and the mystical island breezes have already begun conspiring to wrap you in magic's beautiful embrace.

Snuggled away from the world at large, Mauritius lies like a pearl in the Indian Ocean... resting proud and content in its own bewitching beauty. Days drift away like little wisps of clouds. Clouds themselves drift by like playful angels in the sky. Que sera sera...

Everything is an illusion. I play along. Better to have been in Paradise and lost... than to have never been at all.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Deel-eesh-ious mish-mash of Indian, African & French cultures, gorgeously secluded beaches, sweet "sugarcane-y" smell in the air :-)

    Dance like a Mauritian? Have I heard that somewhere before ;-) Lovely pics, beautiful place. I didn't realise all Dubai beaches were pay as you go :-( Agree on the sugarcane, it does taste great.
