“You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first then heaven, and that heaven was copied after Mauritius” – Mark Twain
I will agree with Mark Twain and say that Mauritius was gorgeous, and this is where I got to spend my spring break! A bunch of friends and I stayed at the Easy World where we rented two apartments across from the beach in a small town called Flic en Flac. This town, approximately 45 minutes southwest of Port Luis, is the capital of Mauritius and also where we docked. We pretty much spent most of our time in Flic en Flac and it was such a cute little town. Even though it was small, there was a casino and a bunch of bars on the tiny strip. The locals were also very friendly. We learned in global studies that most of the people in Mauritius are people from India, and they speak French. Although French is the main language, most people still speak English. Our apartment was okay for the price we paid…$30 per person for two nights, but we did find a cockroach in our bathtub. That still did not stop us from cooking in the villa. We, actually just Shelly and I, made burgers, pasta, chicken, French toast, etc. It was nice to cook for ourselves for once. We also had a joint balcony between the two apartments and I enjoyed eating dinner to the sunsets. During the days in Flic en Flac, we layed out on the white sand beach and snorkeled in the clear blue water. It was a relaxing time, but it went by so fast. The seven of us weren’t the only sassers at Flic en Flac either. I would say there were about 300 other sassers in this town so it was fun to hangout with everyone on the beach and at night at the clubs. Some people got a little crazy on our “spring break” but it was all still fun. On our last day, we took our taxi back to Port Luis and spent the day shopping. I didn’t buy much because most of the items were from India and I figured I would wait til I was actually in India.
