As Sweet as the Sugary Land - Mauritius
November 2007
Time to relax and chill out.
Enjoy the cool cloudy morning, the warm to hot sunny afternoon.
Slow to start and afternoon visit to the beach, afternoon on the buses along the coast.
Whatever food I like, hmmmmmmm cereal and yoghurt, raisins, chocolate (that actually tastes like chocolate).
Time to pay a last tribute to Madagascar with numerous fees and charges to get my baggage back from freight, thanks of the info. Cons all the way.
Family catch up, beautiful villa, pool view, thin white sands.
Tennis anyone? Ping Pong? Swimming? Snorkelling? Diving? Sunbathing? Pedalo? Everything? OK then.
Time to return to the cold, raining isle.
AAAHHH HOME.

French but Fantastic – La Reunion
October 2007
Towering cliffs surrounding the cirques, mountains and valleys, canyons and meadows all contained within.
Wonderful and numerous water falls – highland and lowland, long and thin, glimmering in the rosy evening sun, wide, full flowing cascades, crashing into still deep pools.
Crazy, weird, mulleted hill dwellers, morning lone drinkers on random corners.
Lava, lava, lava
Lava flowing down the mountain to the see
Lava flowing across the road (blocking the only way around the island)
Lava cracking under foot, breaking like glass, emitting warmth (evidence of the recent eruption). Proximity to lava that is slightly worrying and not wholly allowed.
Black sand beach, hot under foot and on top of foot in the strong spring sun.
Crashing waves arriving in sets, spraying through blow holes, clear glassy water with the offshore breeze. (Apparently appreciated by numerous sharks).
Volcano, crater, mountain, crater, lava, smoking, lava, path fallen into the lava, crater.
Canyons, jump, slide, swim, abseil, jump, slide – fall. Wet, warm, dry.
Piton: tallest peak up up up, dark 4am up. Fantastic views over everywhere we have been. Down Down Down, knees alert.
Turtles, sea, sand.
