Day 12 – The South

We had driven along the south of Mauritius earlier in our trip, on the day we visited Chamarel, but it was completely dark when we passed through. Today, we set out to see the south, heading down the east coast road toward the airport, and then across the south of Mauritius.

Upon reaching Souillac in the south, we headed to the coast to see La Roche Qui Pleure. We walked a short ways through a forested area, and arrived at a cliff above the shoreline.

We wandered around a while, taking in the views and the rugged coastline here, which was very different from the gentle beaches in other areas.

Nadine admires the view from the top of the rocks while I explore the end of the rocky point.

Below is a video from a different perspective.

And one final photo before getting back on the road.

We continued driving around to the southwest point of Le Morne. Here we are parked at a beach with the Le Morne Massif in the background.

We drove out to the end of the Le Morne peninsula just as the sun was setting.

It was now almost dark, so it was time to head back. However, instead of heading back to Anahita, we drove north to Moka to meet Nadine’s sister, and headed out to the harbour in Port Louis for a late dinner.

It was a long and full day, and we still had a long drive back to the east coast through the dark. The weather was clear and we had a nice ride across to the resort.

Day 6 – Port Louis

On our first full day in Mauritius, the weather was nice and sunny.  After breakfast, we got ready to drive across the island to the Port Louis area.

Here are some scenes driving along the roads near our hotel on the east coast.

Many of the roads are rather narrow by North American standards. Outside of the villages, the roads are not badly maintained, are aren’t too bad for driving on. In the villages, the roads seem to have many more potholes and become much more hazardous. One of my first observations is that roads don’t seem to have any shoulder, and there is often a rather large drop or perhaps a high curb or wall right alongside the driving lane. A further annoyance, especially during the daytime, is the frequency with which vehicles just stop in the middle of the road. It’s not legal, but people don’t seem to care. You regularly need to drive into oncoming traffic to get around vehicles, buses, pedestrians, and excessively slow motorbikes and mopeds. Occasionally, you even need to run two wheels up on a sidewalk to get around tight spots of traffic.

There are sugar cane crops nearly everywhere along side the roads in the country here.

Our first stop was to meet up with Tsiry and Anita at their home in Moka, toward the centre of the island. After touring their lovely home, we all headed out to see a bit of the area.

Along the way, we passed this strange shaped building. You will also see that while many of the roads in Mauritius are narrow and twisty, there are some larger highways.

We started with a visit to the L’Aventure du Sucre, which is an informative museum on the history of Mauritius and the history of sugar production in the country.

Our next stop was to head to the harbour area in downtown Port Louis, the capital city of Mauritius, and have dinner by the water. Here are a few images of the area.

After dinner, we headed back to Tsiry’s place, and then set out for the drive back to Anahita.
