My Mauritius Holiday

In February of 2007 we had the most wonderful vacation in Mauritius. We spend one week at the Le Coco Beach Resort Hotel which is located on the eastern side of the island.

Philippe’s family originates from Mauritius, and with him having been there before, he knew all the beautiful places to show me. We traveled the island from west to east and north to south, which was actually quite exhausting as the days were very hot. Our daily dress code consisted of costumes and shorts, so we could take quick dips in the sea or the nearest pool to cool off.

In the evenings a shower was always welcome, after which we would relax on the hotel patio and enjoy a delicious spread of island cuisine.

We visited the volcano which is no longer active, thank goodness, and I was quite surprised at the amount of vegetation in this volcano.

People in Mauritius are very laid back and friendly. One certainly feels very welcome.

A holiday destination I would recommend to anyone.
