We had another nice day today, so decided to head out and see what more things we could see. Starting out toward the south, and then heading inland a bit into the hills, we saw some nice scenery.

The roads here are interesting. Many of them just wind through the sugar cane fields, as shown in some earlier photos. Another common sight along Mauritian roads, is to have roads lined with large trees, as per the photo below.

Here is a video of driving along such a road:

Another popular drive, is along a costal road, as seen here:

And just so you don’t think that all roads in Mauritius are narrow and twisty, below is an example of a larger country highway:

As you can see in these videos, this is a great place for touring around in a convertible! I highly recommend this method of transportation for anyone who comes here. I was, however, surprised that we didn’t see any other similar cars during our time here, so they don’t appear to be very popular, and I don’t quite understand why.

I also noticed that many of the guests at our hotel didn’t have rental cars at all. We would see many of them waiting to take taxis or contract for a car and driver for the day. I guess this might work for some people, but for our style of travel, nothing beats having our own vehicle (particularly a nice red BMW convertible!) to just go wherever we feel like going, whenever we feel like it.

After a nice day of exploring, we returned to the hotel to relax.
