Once satisfied with the freshness of the seafood, the customers stop to fill the plate provided with the seafood to be weighed and paid for. The others would wade through the puddles […]

During my 5 days trip in Mauritius, the most striking memory I made was the hike to Le Morne Brabant mountain. I had little information on how to hike on my own. So, I decided not to take the unnecessary risk to embark on my own especially when the terrains can be considered quite risky […]
