Bonjour, Mauritius. On the neighbouring beach.




Scott decided not to join me for breakfast today and stayed in the room to shave. The locals had hard time to believe that madam is just so eating all alone and set the table for two. Which turned out to be a great idea, because I could mix and match and choose the best form both plates. Borrowed banana and crepe form Scott's plate and replaced those with onion omelet and onion pie. Win-win. Did bring Scott's plate in the room for him. Or rather on the balcony.

When we started to look for accommodation here, I of course consulted Google first and chose the best beaches. Our first choice was Troix Aux Bich. After consulting with Booking.com however it seemed that all the accommodation on that beach was more than the educational budget of the town and based on the Google Maps it looked rather like curvy beach with many rocky areas instead of white sandy beach so long that the end just disappears in the horizon. So, we chose Mont Choisy, which is exactly, what we expected - unendless white sand and blue water. The only thing is that instead of palms we have pinetrees. Anyway we noted that the desirable Troix Aux beach is just a short walk away and that was our plan for today afternoon. We waited patiently in our airconned hotel room until the hottest part of the day will be over and made our way to that beach of the bold and beautiful. The beach was packed with sunsets, umbrellas, boats and yachts and the sea with water skiers. We had a quick swim and walked back to our beach with unendless sand and no people.

For the dinner we had planned Selfish, that had high praisals in Tripadvisor. We had just gotten our drinks, when a loud party started on the street. We ran out to take a look and it turned out that celebrating an upcoming hindu festival, a bunch of people was carrying a huge bird cage on their shoulders with someone sitting in it. All that was accompanied with loud music. While we were all standing there at the gate, the 3-year old dude from next table tried to sneak his hand under mu skirt. We ordered crispy fried calamari, octopus salad, giant tiger prawns and dorado in buttery sauce. I won't stop on starters, but Scott's giant tiger prawns were more the size of lobster and my fish in the creamy butter sauce was delicious.
