We arrived in Mauritius Friday morning, but by the time we got through customs (we had to explain why we're staying 4 months, show invitation paper, etc.), got our luggage, got to our apartment, and then finally went to the beach, it was nearly 6 pm.
That means sunset here. 12 hours of light, 12 hours of dark, all year round.
This part of the island is surrounded by a reef that provides a lagoon at the beach. The waves are breaking at the reef, which is about at the horizon in this picture.
This photo is a close-up that shows the breaking waves far out to sea.
There is a grove of trees along the beach. The beach, called Flic en Flac, extends for miles. Much of the sand is covered with broken pieces of coral, more than I've seen anywhere else in the world.
This is the first restaurant we ate at in Mauritius. It's basically a food truck, parked at the beach.

Glad to see you made it safe and sound. Btw, why did you move to Mauritius in the first place? You don't have to answer necessarily, I was just curious.
ReplyDeleteWe moved here because we were asked to come teach at a local university. We had visited here before and thought, why not? Plus, since they speak French, we are more comfortable here than somewhere where we'd have to learn another language (although a lot of people speak creole, which we don't understand and probably won't have time to learn).
