Mauritius

Pere Bay


Waiting to set sail for the dolphins!

Some pictures taken in Mauritius.

In March, I was actually in Mauritius! Cannot believe it, I was there working for about a week.



My favourite beach is the Pere Bay, where the waters are really clear and blue. The next best thing was sailing out to the sea. The sea was so blue, it's like watercolours. It was supposed to be a dolphin viewing trip but unfortunately, there were no dolphins that day.






I was completely sunburnt. But it was a very rewarding trip, with God's blessing over the work I was doing there, as well as a good break.




Mauritius is a good place to relax. There are many beaches but I guess is expensive because Mauritius is really far from Singapore, it is already near South Africa.


Majority are hindus and they speak french, some english and their local language. They serve all kinds of food, Indian, Chinese, etc so meals were not a problem for me. The good thing was I had 4 days to travel around on my own because of the 2 public holidays I had there. I stayed at Labordonnais, which is in the heart of the city but far away from the beaches.








I am finally back in Singapore for good!
Managed to clean up my room, bought some furniture and did plenty of exercise!
But still I think I did not shed much fats because I ate so much.

Dim sum with boing and gang was great at Imperial treasure today. I had so much, dumplings, porridge, etc etc. After that was drinks and snacks at Muddy Murphy's. It is a nice Irish bar with very original decorations and woody feeling. The next time I shall bring along a camera. :)

Tomorrow shall be taking a break at Bintan. Too bad Banyan Tree was full, have to take Angsana as a replacement.

I think I better plan my time wisely for the next week. After one week's of rest, I feel like I have been sleeping too much.

1) Get my documents done for new job.
2) Read up the information for new job.
3) Buck up on quiet time.
4) Catch up with ex-colleagues.
5) Catch up with Charlie.
6) Recce wedding venues.
7) Finish reading my story book.
8) More exercise!

That should be about it. :)
