Greetings from Shanti Maurice in Mauritius!
It was a long, long, LONG flight that was - Blooming Awful. It was twelve hours of pain and little sleep ... AND most of it without any entertainment ... grrrrrr ...
ANYWAY - we are in wonderful Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean.
On landing, we were whisked off to the Shanti Maurice resort - at the very southern (untouched) part of the island (40 minutes away). There are 44 suites and 17 villas on offer here ... it was opened originally in 2006 and is now managed by Nira. It's a thoroughly fabulous resort and I would certainly come here on my own holiday ... in fact, I just may do that!
Lovely beaches, fitness centre, swimming pools ... AWESOME spa ... and delightful staff.
The weather has been good today ... sun in the day, rain at night ...
It is winter here ... 27 degrees ... WINTER???
More tomorrow - am SHATTERED!
On the beach ... hmmmm
On the beach ... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
