World Discovery Continued: *MAURITIUS*

....sugar cane, rum, white beaches and a sapphire ocean...

           
               The on and on blog visits the island of the Dodo.

Ile Maurice is a place where I have been perhaps six times, maybe more. It is a multicultural rainbow country in terms of people. Yet its heritage is long and complex. Its independence, its languages... it has a lot of variety and a lot to offer.

Mauritius is definitely a hotel destination, with the top hotels offering magnificent service and excellent facilities. Among many there are Prince Maurice  for a hidden getaway... Maradiva for luxurious privacy... Royal Palm for the demanding guest... and Labourdonnais Hotel for business.

The capital city, Port Louis, is situated at the north of the island. Probably the only place for tourist-spoiled civilisation including shopping and so on. A nice visit to the fruit and vegetable market in the city gives you a bustling sound of traders, vibrant colours of exotic fruits and heavy aromas of vanilla, banana and papaya, making it worth the trip.

Mauritius brings together tropical escape with outstanding hotels, great water sports and exciting night life. But it also bring to the visitor fabulous restaurants with quite a show.

All in all, a paradise place to visit.

But there is more to this place than just hotels, water sports and restaurants. There is a spinning web of cultural discoveries, which I want to share with you soon.
