Mauritius a beautiful island with moonscaped mountains and deep gorges with green fields, usually of sugar cane. It is just north of the tropic of Capricorn and a subtropical climate. It is due east of Madagascar.
Mauritius is an island that was colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch, British and French ... so it is a hodgepodge of cultures and languages. While walking through the town the language was primarily French.
Very modern "downtown" area that is a major (fancy) shopping district on one side and across the street little store fronts where the native shop.
Nice island, doubt that I will ever come back. On to Reunion Island tomorrow.
Regards to all.
Still having a good time.
