I made my return to the northern part of the island of Mauritius, where I had been, 2.5 years ago, on my last voyage. During my short stay, on the rainbow nation island, I relaxed by the beach and with the help of a scooter and an excellent driver; I explored some of the local neighborhoods. We left the tourists strip and cruised past beautiful public beaches and lively local neighborhoods many of which had colorful Hindu temples (52% of Mauritian people are Hindu). I chowed down on excellent roti and fresh pineapple which I ate as I sat on the beach.
As we were getting ready to depart this tropical paradise, the people of Mauritius were preparing for Diwali, stringing up lights over their houses and businesses and purchasing fireworks. Needless to say, as the ship pulled out of the harbor, Mauritius was lit up like the 4th of July.
