Adventure of Sugar, top tourist attraction in Mauritius
We visited the famous tourist attraction the Adventure of Sugar or L'Aventure du Sucre, as it is officially called. As one of the top must-do tourist attractions in Mauritius, we were expecting big things and boy did it deliver. Starting from the outside with a train and huge sugar mill equipment I was like a kid in a candy store. The adventure comes to life in the museum, it is very well done, taking you from the beginning of Mauritius all the way through the history and actually letting you walk through the internal workings of a mill until you finally leave, with sugar and rum tasting.

Grand River South East Mauritius Vlog
We explore the Grand River South East area or GRSE as everyone seems to call it. We started at the dock where we met a local guy Steve with his boat, Andre. We then walked around the Laguna Beach Hotel and flew the drone over it. Next up was the hunt for food.
Luckily an old BMW 318i stopped us at a great snack shop called Site shop on Google maps. We ate great fish roti and the best-fried chicken in Mauritius. A quick stop at the fish landing and ferry point to look around. I got some solar-powered ice cream.
We continued and got to a lookout point full of monkeys and met Louis. We flew the drone over the waterfall and then headed to the sugar mill, Deep water Beau champ. It was an epic adventure.

Goodlands Mauritius (Village of discipline)
Goodlands Mauritius is a medium size village, that you probably won’t find on any tourist maps. It really is a Mauritian village for Mauritians. But, totally worth a visit.
In Mauritius they give all their villages names, like Goodlands being the village of discipline or Pereybere is respect. Goodlands is still my favourite as I can imagine some interesting things.
This was a quick visit to find a blanket, but I hope to bring you more of Goodlands and the rest of the island.
Lolo Hyper - a surprise with low low prices
It was a strange but lucky day when we stumbled upon Lolo hyper in Morcellement St Andre. We were out scouting chimneys in the Plaine des Papayas area when we suddenly encountered this massive supermarket. There are some great supporting shops at the centre as well as a good looking food court

Price of vegetables in Mauritius - Vacoas Market
We return to Vacoas, now known as the Manhatten of Mauritius, to visit the fruit, vegetable, and food market. We started our adventure with a new fruit for us, custard apple, and then onto some old favorites, Chinese guavas, and gatos. Lining the outside of the market are dozens of food stands and snacks, and they were filled with new and exciting eats. Vacoas has become a place of innovation in new and exciting food, as well as bringing the old favorites and historic classics.
It's not only about the great food, it is also a massive structure filled with vegetables, fruits, and clothing. We walked around and checked the price, no tomatoes for us, wow, the prices were extreme, but there were a few other bargains out there.

Long Mountain, Mauritius (I throw a stick)
It was a great adventure, I threw a stick and then ate the fruit it knocked out of a tree. We also sampled some great bakery treats and found the old railway station, and a lot of bridges, including one made out of an old train carriage. We stopped at two temples and a spiritual park. To top it off we walk the back streets, or Railway Road and I tell a very funny story.
Long Mountain in Mauritius, in the Pamplemousses district, is a must-visit not only for the great bakeries and fun fruit collecting but for the really nice people and all the history.
This is the link to the page (Flickr) where we found the Train Bridge. He has other great albums as well check them out, Historic Mauritius:

Fruit and vegetable market - Pamplemousses, Mauritius
Pamplemousses market is a great beginner market. It doesn't have the huge hustle and bustle of some of the other markets, but it really is worth a visit. The street food section has some great food, a lot of which were new to us. Prepare to queue if you want a good dhal puri and when you get one they are very good. The veg section is all laid out under kiosks, giving it a great open-air feel. Down the side are all the clothes and assorted knickknacks. Come early on a Sunday morning it is open from 4am to 11am.

Citadel Mall Port Louis Mauritius
We explore a new mall for us, Citadel Mall in Port Louis is a huge building near Fort Adelaide or the Citadel fort. With dozens of entrances, a couple of shops, and some great places to eat, the mall is also home to apartments for rent with views over the city. We found a sweet treat called a Piaw, that was exactly like a South African koeksister. Then we bumped into our old friends from pani puri Super U and they fed us some great Indian-style street food.

The Vale. Mauritius. The search for Gajacks (Small village with a lot of mysteries)
The Vale was a complete surprise. So many people selling quality street food in such a small area. I missed out on a lot as I went on Friday during mosque. What most people told me was that after 4 the place is really worth a visit, but we will keep it for another time, as Mauritius is huge and there are still hundreds of places to visit.
That's to all the friendly people from The Vale for a great visit.
If anyone can point me in the direction of some great Gajacks, please leave a comment.

St Pierre Mauritius, a walk in a town that feels good.
St Pierre is going to surprise you. From the street foods, friendly people, shopping, history, the mall and simply enjoying a walk in a town that feels good.
We started at the bus station near the Bazaar St. Pierre sign, I'm still laughing. After looking around the new market, which hasn't opened yet, and the bus station we made our way to get some snacks for breakfast. Riki had some bhajis and I got deep-fried bread, it was battered first, and they both tasted great.
After strolling through the shopping area, where there appears to be a lot of diversification, including people selling shoes and vegetables from the same shop. One of them had fish tank equipment in a clothing shop. They were also a whole host of seedlings for sale, but we stopped else were. I needed new sunglasses, as the wire I was using to hold them together, has started to rust! I got the perfect pair, and they were on discount, which was great, but not as great as Riki's find; perfect jeans for only Rs 150. She was really happy.
A short stroll down the side streets brought us to a bridge and the church that the town is named after, Saint Pierre church. Build-in 1769, it has stood the ravages of time with its accompanying cemetery with grave markers from the same time. We peered over the wall and then continued to our planned next destination.
The main road did have lots of traffic and noisy motorbikes, but it also has a lot of old buildings. Some were still in use, but others looked abandoned. It wasn't until we looked closer that we saw that the builds were still in use, only the frontage was unused. At the town limits, we found our next destination, a Chinese noodle shop, with a build your own ramen bowl. We built our masterpiece and took it to the park to enjoy.
A surprisingly tranquil area in the heart of the town. Great benches overlooking the stream and a gazebo to sit out the occasional rain shower. The noodles with tea-stained egg, roast beef, green stuff, and Shenzhen sauce was the best noodle dish I have eaten so far. When they open for sit down I will go back and get a full ramen bowl.
Riki mentioned the growth of the accommodation in the area as we passed the 1903 convent. It would be a great place to spend a couple of days, with the town life, great foods and the nearby hiking.
I went a little gaga over the beautiful old train station. The stonework is still in pristine condition, but unfortunately, the woodwork has started rot and with it, the roof is slowly going, but still a monument to the time when rail ruled the land. Around it there are large factories and businesses, some of the supporting buildings have been repaired and being used, but the station and an old shingle-walled build, with its strange benches, have been neglected.
We closed out the day at Kendra mall with its KFC, Pizza Inn, and many fine shops, and of course very well-appointed toilets. A baguette with some cold meat and cheese from Winners supermarket was our choice for supper.
