Been Here Three Months

Been Here Three Months

We have been in South Africa for three months. We had to leave the country before the 11 May so Andrew could return and have his visa validated. So now we are both legal!

For our trip away we chose to go to Mauritius. Andrew wanted a place to relax and blob in the sun after three quite intense months of work.

We drove to Johannesburg, a bit hair raising but we got there without getting lost too often. Then flew to Mauritius. We stayed on the North West coast of the island in a lovely spot called Pereybere. Had a lovely, small, quiet hotel and did nothing much but walked, read our books, snorkeled, and ate . The snorkeling was fun although the reefs showed obvious damage from cyclones, pollution and anchor damage. The fish were still lovely. Some were very inquisitive, would come very close then give you a quick wee nip! 

When we arrived our room was full of flowers!

A friendly local pinching some our breakfast!

Cafes were hard to find but this one was good.

Looking back towards the hotel.

Life’s a beach-infinity pool and beyond.

Andrew enjoyed playing with the new camera.

Some of the island was very mountainous.
