Mauritius

Some years ago i was fortunate enough to visit the island of Mauritius.
It was not too far from Malaysia and the sights,culture,people and food made this a great holiday.


Berjaya Hotel 
Malaysian food  ha ha

Nice pool

One of the most famous landmarks in Mauritius- Le Morne 


Sights from our beach 



Day 2

Island hopping time 


Clear water 


nice huh 


It was about 15 feet deep here 


After a good swim its time for food  


Look at the water colour 


The captain and his mates were really good entertainment 

Back , eat and zzzzzzz


Day 3

Nemo time 


Just as we get below the surface 


our captain of the sub 


my first time ever in a sub 




So cool 


An old shipwreck 



Coning tower 


See the anchor ? 




Our ride :-) 


Back on shore  


Nice  

Eat and sleep some more :-)

Day 4

Time to explore Maurutius 
Standing on the rim of a volcano here


What a view 


The crater.. 



Some of the local handicrafts here 



A large Statue of lord Shiva under construction.
Mauritius has a large Indian population .


And the temple sits on the rim of another Volcano crater. 


Cold at the top... 


Crater is filled with water 


Looking down 


Chamarel waterfall was our next stop 


Nice huh 


Finally we went to see the 7 coloured rock formed by the volcanic activity- Terres des Sept Couleurs


As the sun set on Mauritius 


We  had our last look of this wonderful island 

Cheers.
