“Port Louis, Mauritius to Chennai, India

Blog Entry #7:  O.K., so I must admit that I knew very little about Mauritius prior to our arrival.  Mauritius is an island nation that sits in the middle of the Indian Ocean about 500 miles due east of Madagascar.  It is the last place the the Dodo Bird lived prior to its extinction.  Port Louis was a thriving metropolis like many other cities.  Who knew?  What a surprise.  Frank and I didn’t take in any of the culture in Mauritius though.  This was our R and R stop.  We rented a hotel room, got away from everyone on the ship for a couple of days and just spent lazy days hanging out at the beach.  It was just what the doctor ordered.  If Mauritius were closer to the USA, I would definitely visit again.  But since it isn’t, this was probably a first and last visit.  If one ever gets the opportunity to visit there, I recommend that you do…signing off for now.
