DAY 29
It was another beautiful sunrise on the Indian Ocean. We docked in Pointe des Galets on the island of Reunion. This island is owned by France and is east of Madagascar. It is part of the European Union and uses euros only. We couldn’t seem to find an ATM that worked and everyone speaks French so we just used our credit card for a few purchases. Absolutely no US currency was accepted. The island is famous
for its volcanoes and the beautiful formation of the mountains. They are lush and homes (white stucco) are built on the hills. It reminded us of La Jolla or other towns along the California coast. We went to a beach town for our excursion. We watched the surfers and walked around the marina. An added plus was going to the Reunion Aquarium; it was so enjoyable. It was fun to see the fish I had seen while snorkeling.
I can't believe your trip is almost over. Can you? I just got back from San Francisco where I working this week. Reunion island looks like a wonderful laid back place.
