How's a poor chap to afford a holiday in Mauritius on that sort of price! Unfair to authors!

You'll all be pleased to know it has thrown it down here all day - buckets and buckets. the Sugar is as high as an elephant's eye and all that. But it's still 29 degrees. Back to morrow so get the fires burning to warm the place up!

PS you'll be pleased to know that I have been worked like a dog out here but I have managed a meagre contribution for Gordon to help you all repay the debts he kindly opened for you!

Are you Port St Louis ?

 

[tillergirl]

Well I was; back home now. Why do people go on long haul flights with teething kids?

That Green Island stuff - First prize to AliM in the Christmas 'where am I quiz'. Drove past the distillery yesterday morning! In 25 degrees at 7am. Ain't half cold here!

 

[MoodySabre]

Ain't half cold here!

That's justice. Those of us who stayed here are feeling warmer

 

[tillergirl]

Don't suppose you'll be any kinder if I told you that a screaming brat of 18 months was teething and screaming in the next seat to me all of the 12 hours of the flight and I currently feel like - like - well I don't know what!

I'm surprised they allow such things up in the front cabin?

 

[tillergirl]

I was surprised by the number of v young children 'up front'! When I was the age of those parents I couldn't afford a package holiday to Benidorm!

Transport to Rodriques Island

Heath and Safety - Standing by in case of fire on starting!

Take off from Mauitius - the green is Cane Sugar

Clearing the lagoon

Coming into land at Rodriques - spot the fisherman, presumably looking for Octopus as we ate nothing but octopus curry, octopus fricasse, octopus stew, fried octopus, diced octopus etc

Every graveyard was like this! Really beautiful

Hotel Grounds - front - please collect your own breakfast

Hotel Grounds - back - it's hell being a consultant

Lateral Marks - the main channel marks - used by quite a large couple of inter-island freighters

Fisherman returning with the morning catch - sorry but this is taken from a fast moving car!

Picky, picky, picky!

I suppose you have to take the rough with the smooth
