Bonjour, Mauritius. Blue Bay.








We woke up in our spacious and bright room. I walked to the window and looked at the ... ocean. The same sea view that wasn't supposed to be there. Yes, there was a pool and a row of palm trees in front of it, but still a lot more sea view than we would have had lying down on the floor of the previous guesthouse pushing the branches aside. The sun had just risen, we got dressed and walked to the restaurant to have breakfast. The tables were covered with piles of croissants, chocolate pastries, fruits, cakes and fairly boring beans and similar. There was also an eggmaster who made you eggs any style you wished. Omelets, scrambled, you name it, he made it. Freshly fried pancakes were on the menu as well.

Scott went back to our initially booked guesthouse to tell them that we found a new and more suitable place to stay (yesterday when we moved out the reception was already closed) and they please be so kind and refund us the money paid for the accommodation and also compensate for the hours we spent looking for new hotel instead of lazying on the beach. I had to stop by in the reception to validate our key card, where they told me that since we had to go to bed hungry yesterday (due to checking in after dinner time), they compensate it with free lunch today.

We had planned to visit the most picturesque village on the island today and right after finishing all the errands we took off direction Mahebourg. Local chicken bus took us there with 20 minutes. We walked around, looked at the nice architecture and rats running around wild at the sea shore, had some coconut water and returned to the resort.

Still full from breakfast, it was all the same time for lunch. Buffet again and piles and piles of food on tables. We filled us up even more.

After lunch we made a snorkel and beach round. "We" being sort of conditional here, since the currant was so strong that I couldn't even stand in water, not to mention floating there with the mask. I lied on the beach.

We sat some more on the balcony and looked at the fox-sized bats flying over our heads, when we noticed that they had started to set the tables for dinner. Obviously we were far from being hungry, but one can fit many sheep in one belly and so we went to the restaurant. I swear, the dessert table just keeps getting longer and more delicious every time. Anyway, I had lamb and lots of cakes, fruits and chocolate mousse.
