The Shanti Maurice ... fabulous! We have been here just one night ... with one night tonight ... and THEN we leave first thing in the morning! It;s been a 2-night/3-day trip ... and today we had great fun.
There are over SIXTY types of rum produced here on the island. Two types - the good stuff from pure sugar cane juice and the alright - firewater stuff - from the "by-product" molasses.
I had a rum tasting by the beach at 11 in the morning! They love to infuse their rum here with everything from saffron to oranges! Lovely ... but an acquired taste.
There are three restaurants here: signature Stars, casual Pebbles and the Fish n' Rum Shack on the beach ... there is also Grandma's Kitchen. Basically guests can go the home of a local family where the Grandma cooks you a home-prepared meal ... we did this and it was a unique cooking feature BUT such a lovely one. My Papa cooks GREAT India food ... and Mauritian cuisine, although based on Indian food has its own twists. Lovely, LOVELY food ...
Sunset was stupendous!
Home tomorrow ... ahhhh ... sad ... ahhh ... happy!
Mauritius the home of great shirts .....
