Zoom into the beauty of the nature ... where there is peace, serenity and calmness.Which place would you get to experience the thrills and yet could just sit back ,sip on your drink and enjoy the creation of the alma-mater.Mauritius was this one place which offered all this to me.Its a popular tourist destination. The flight was fine , I was travelling air Mauritius and I guess it took us 6 hours to get there and once we were flying over Mauritius , the view was simply majestic and breathe taking .crystal blue waters and golf courses , villas and beaches .Its is the place you just want to be.the resort we were staying in was called gold beach resort and was ocean facing with a beach and when I walked on onto it ,I exactly figured why it was named so.The golden sand appeared even more golden and radiant due to the warm sun rays.It was a place which offered a lot of new experiences to me,which I shall describe soon .It was way back by the way in 2005.I was just done with my 12th boards which by the way is a big deal as all of you know,so I was as it is totally relaxed.

Well , it is not a blog about where all you should go but it is about experiences but I don't think including some information regarding the places would harm you .So to tell you about the place , my resort was in 'flic n flac' , yes that a name of a place over there.Port Louis is the capital of the country .The major income of the country comes from tourism and rest from sugarcane cultivation.en route to our resort we passed innumerable sugarcane plantations and our guide who was a descendant of India but was born and brought up there told me .By the way there are lot of people who migrate from India and have settled there.Actually when I was there the prime minister of Mauritius happened to be a person from Indian origin.The best tourist attractions in Mauritius are the seven coloured earth, which is a fascinating spot as there is sand which is of seven different colours and it is a totally natural process, the sand obtains this different colours due to the high amounts of minerals which exist there.The other spot is called the "Black River gorges" which is a giant water fall , the spot is very pretty.Anyways , the best things that you do at such a place is adventure sports and we did a variety of that.On a bright afternoon we were taken to coco island which was nearby in a big boat , there was this whole Indian family with us and it was all fun and singing . Later on the real fun began when we reached the spot for adventure sports.We did a speed boat ride and it was a thriller . we were cutting through water at the rate of bullet through the air when fired . Para-gliding was something I will never forget , they take you all the way up in the sky only to drop you into water and then you are brought back on the wooden platform where you started from.the reason for it being memorable is my mom and dad instead of landing on the wooden platform landed in water and my mom who does not know swimming got paranoid when that happened .It was an effort to take them out and when I realized they are safe I was clicking pictures of mom getting all worked up instead of helping the other people get them out .gosh, not what you expect someone to do in such a situation but I was sure they were safe so natural instincts just took over I guess.

The best part about my resort was that they had cottages for everyone and one cottage had two rooms but to my luck when we went there , not one cottage was vacant where both the rooms of the same cottage were vacant .So it so happened that my mom and dad were in one cottage and me and my sister were totally in a far end cottage and thus every night I could just sneak out !! hurray for that!

The food was brilliant where I was staying but apart from that I am a total foodie and I have to have pizzas where ever I go .So couple of days we had a local brand called debonairs and then obviously there is pizza hut.The food was always with some entertainment when at the resort . Sometimes a band playing or sometimes the traditional dance they have , which is called sega dance where the dusky Mauritian beauties shake there bellies to traditional music which sounds like country music but with much more power and intensity.By the way,I normally sit back and watch people but when I saw the ladies were inviting people from the crowd to dance with them I totally jumped for the opportunity.For details you need to contact me personally.

All in all , I would term this blog as a general overview of Mauritius and there were some exciting moments and things I did regarding which I shall put another post which shall hopefully not be so big! :P

So until next time I shall sign off now.Later!
