Mauritius


The happy holiday gang all ready for an alfresco lunch at Port Louis, capital of Mauritius
We went for a holiday with PF and family to Mauritius on Dec 14 last year - just for a short 5 days. Little Bee did not join us, but Big Bee had the time of her life with her good pals Eugene and Claire!

Here are some (very long overdued) photos, and the things I truly loved about Mauritius.

1) Gorgeous landscapes, breathtaking sunsets, bluest of blue skies, big fluffy cumulus clouds and crystal clear waters.

Crystal clear waters with blue skies


Magnificent sunsets that resonate in your mind forever

Omnipresent oceans with far-reaching horizons

We discovered a picturesque lighthouse off the beaten track
2) Ubiquitous rainbows draped all over the awesome vistas.
Big Bee and Claire could not believe their eyes when they see the rainbow popping out of the horizon!

3) Dolphin chasing on a small tipsy boat, with the cool seabreeze caressing our faces. We spotted dozens of friendly and beautiful slick grey dolphins!

These dolphins are so friendly that some tourists even swim alongside them!

4) Visiting a sugar mill and indulging in colonial times.

Starring Eugene, Claire and Big Bee as the 3 hardworking oxen!
5) Zipping around the island that is 3 times the size of Singapore in a Mini Cooper convertible!


6) Just chilling out in general, relaxing and relishing in doing absolutely nothing!

Big Bee, with Pinky the bear, was gleeful that we had the time to enjoy little details like a long drawn sunset with her


Big Bee entranced by a galloping horse on the beach, her dream came true!
7) Seeing the kids fooling around and enjoying themselves.
