PORT LOUIS MAURITIUS


DAY 28


Our tour today took us to a very well maintained Botanical Gardens. The trees were massive. Our German (she married a Mauritius man) guide was sweet but too wordy. John and I snuck away to St. Francis Church across the road to take pictures. Then when I rejoined the tour John stayed back and talked to the local people. We felt the people were more fun than the plants. Our bus climbed a mountain for a nice photo-op. Mauritius has the second oldest racetrack in the southern Hemisphere. Next we traveled the narrow streets to a handicraft market but we weren’t tempted because the prices were too high.   P.S.  Kelly,  I am wearing the necklace and earrings you gave me!
