I'm off

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Enjoy. Take care. :wink:

A week in Mauritius? What a bummer ... :von:
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Hope you don't get lost in the parking lot at Jo'burg International when you come back - it's not a pleasant experience.
Enjoy the wedding!

I'm now officially back home and can't wait to get into my own bed. Mauritius is a very interesting place and I had a great time, I'll be posting photos from my journey in my gallery before the weekend.

If anyone wants more details of my trip let me know.

To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

photos posted to my gallery. :)

Impressions of Mauritius

Roads and Driving
There are few good roads in Mauritius and the further you go from the airport the worse they get. All backroads are of very poor quality.

You drive on the left hand side of the road. If you feel like it.

Hooting gives you right of way. Mostly.

Masses of mo-peds. Everywhere.

Buildings
It appears that none of the local's homes have been completed, this is said to be for tax reasons, almost all houses look like they're just about to start adding and extra level. Even the Mosques.

The Hindu temples are the most crazy buildings ever.

Sea
Is nice and warm and clear

Weather
Was mostly overcast while I was there, but that didn't stop me wearing shorts and t-shirts the whole time :)

General
Go there.

if you speak french you'll have a huge head start, but my advice is to wait until it warms up a bit. It wasn't as warm as my South African blood would've liked it to be.
