Day 1

Mauritius - The IslandThe island of Mauritius is the main island of the nation of Mauritius, located in the southwest of the Indian Ocean, and right betweenRodrigues to the east and the French island of Réunion to the west. While the islands are divided into nine different districts, the capital PortLouis – a district in itself – is both the main industrial hub as well as a touristic hot spot.

Since gaining independence, Mauritius' politics have been influenced greatly by those of the Westminster parliament of Great Britain as thenation's last colonial master, and thus ranks highly for democracy, economic and political freedoms compared to many other African countries.While the island retained two languages forged during colonisation, French and English, an indigenous Mauritian Creole emerged as a blendof the colonial languages, as well as African and South Asian languages brought to and spoken on the island.

Much like its population and culture, the island's endemic flora and fauna, which is best known for the fl ightless bird breed called dodo, isbeautifully diverse and colourful. However, being in acute danger of extinction, many of the landscapes were turned into national parks subjectto strict rules of nature protection, in order to maintain the beauty of this unique island.

Mauritius - Do & SeeSights and adventures of Mauritius are as numerous and diverse as its natural treasures, and they are all spread around the whole island, fromthe very North with its beautiful beaches to the very South, known for terrific landscapes with cliffs and mountains – and while the East isadorned with emerald-coloured lagoons and authentic vil lages, the West undoubtedly captivates with its stunning nature parks and its greatwinds for water sport of all kinds.

Mauritius - DiningThe Mauritian cuisine is a blended one, and includes Creole, French, Chinese and Indian dishes that often are unique to the island itself: dhalpuri (flatbread fi l led with bean curry), the mill ionaire's salad (palm hearts salad with seafood) and gateau piment (=chil l i cake). As theseinfluences already reveal, herbs and spices are widely used, but you wil l certainly find restaurants that lean towards more international (andless spicy) flavours.
