Ok at last some interesting stuff fors ya.
we [in Mauritius] had a 'bank holiday week'!!! yep only on our sunny ilse.
it came about being due to the respect for the interracial mix of communities found here - that all religious and important dates for each community is celebrated with equal importance.
Now I don't think that its really due to we [Mauritians] having some sort of advanced democratic empathy towards peoples beliefs . But rather because the holiday's are sanctioned by polititians in power in order to appease some segment of the community and therefore claim some votes. Anyway whatever....
well as it turned out this week we had Divali, All saints day, and Eid in the same week. This left only two work days left in the week. And what most people did was not to go to work on the remaining two days. And of course not wanting to go against the flow ... Nether did I.
I booked the two remaining days as holidays .. Which resulted in me having nine days consequent off work whoopee Doo!!!!!!
the very first thing which we did was to book ourselves in a decent hotel.
we [me & Jen] had stayed in Le Mauricia (which is a beachcomber hotel)previously , and had had a really good time.
so we decided to take the next step up to Le cannonier Hotel which is situated in Point Aux Cannonier;on the very northern tip of the island.
the view is wonderful with a breathtaking view of Gunners point Island .
we had a very good time but didn't find it that much difference to Le mauricia.did the usual Nirish fare of deep sea snorkeling , etc. Got to say that I saw an octopus wild..... in the sea ... And I'm not ashamed to say that it scared the ish out of me. :)
Ok two links on this one. the Cannonier title will link you to Le Cannonier hotels own web page.
And as usual the PIC LINK will take you to the Photos of Nyeshka. i have included photos from other outings not posted before; in the slideshow.
