Eid in Mauritius was one interesting experience; besides being out of touch with my loved ones over some strange chokes my phone was having :-(, the rest of it was definitely worthwhile . Just got back last night and hated the fact that i had to be up and running from 6 am this morning. I think amongst the other highlights of this trip was definitely the start note and end note of "shopping till dropping" during our Dubai half day stops. These pics, however, might help put the rest of it into some slight perspective ;

- Accompanied by the dramatic, swinging hand gestures, the accent, the edgy fringe, the high pitched (everyone on the bus wake the hell up) kinda voice and the widest grin: "Welcome to Ze laaAAnd of Ze DodooOo, IT IS ze land of ze dodo... Ze Dead Dodo"
- With a french hint:"And ofcourse finally, don't forget that mauritius is an island...So,You might find some visito'3s in your '3oom, we call zem Ghekos, or as you people would like to call zem Liza'3ds, Just dial numbe'3 4 and someone will come to take zem away!!!...Past the first night: "you mean someone with a long stick will crack the ceiling, add to the problem and literally take their lives away?!"
- "What gear number are we on....WHAT gear number are we ON?..OH CRAP" ( a map flying all about, restricted windshield view, the wrong hand on the gear shift , a slipper caught up between the clutch and the break pedal, an abrupt mosquito bite itch,hands waving at eachother...a perfect view for the perverted, over-loaded, slow bus on the lefthand side!!!)
- Trying to cool off in the ocean: "How did you find this beautiful coral? i was stepping on it."
- Bullshit or full of Blue shit? we'll never know..
- Well, Ha-excuse me, Im trying to create me own drink here and have it named after me....so do you mind?

The Land of the Dodo.. now i get it.
wow sounds wonderfull
hope u enjoyed everybit of it
so do u recommend it?
albandry,
I'll through a cheezy comment and say its the company that counts
:-)!!
but honestly, u can be in paradise and have it ruined if u were with the wrong crowd!
In this case mauritius for me was on the contrary :-)
So, if you are a beach holiday person and if ever plan to go then i would suggest for you to maximize your trip, and make it a multi destination one. Had i had the time i would've probably visited adjacent islands like seychells, maldives etc as oppose to mauritius on its own.
