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.

Curepipe Mauritius (It didn't rain) Glorious sunshine day

We visit Curepipe on a glorious sunny day. What a place. From the historic to the hustle and bustle of a huge city. Only recently out of the red zone, the city is coming back with a bang.

The market is an impressive art deco structure where we started our tour of Curepipe, with tons of fresh produce inside, including chicken, lamb, beef and a host of different types of fish, from tuna to snapper.

We walked the street in what can only be described as the heart Curepipe and discovered a type of shopping mall call arcades. one even had a garden in it. On one of the back streets, we found a grill. They were cooking chicken and lamb, it smelt so good we bought some lamb.

We then visited the royal college, which is an imposing structure, as if it had been plucked from the hallowed universities of Cambridge or Oxford. In front of the college is the National Heritage site of the missing soldier from world war one, with Tommy and Paulu.

At the main crossroads of Curepipe we saw the iconic MCB building and the Arcade across the street that looks even older but is just designed to look that way. Inside the Arcade is a great cake shop, Chelseas Cup and Cake and a very trendy bar.

A short walk down the road leads you to St Theresa's Church, a magnificent old building which is currently under renovation. Across the road from the church is the Curepipe Municipality building complex which houses quite a few National Monuments in the form of statues. One is of Paul and Virginie in bronze, copied exactly from the original by D'Epinay in marble. Another is of Abbot Caile who was the first person to chart the stars of the Southern Hemisphere. He also calculated the exact location of Mauritius and produced a detailed map.

Next to the Municipality is the Carnegie Library and the Town Hall which are both National Heritage sites. The Carnegie Library was built with funds donated by Carnegie and filled with books donated by many Mauritian collectors. The Town Hall is undergoing extensive renovation but interestingly was originally built in Moka and moved to Curepipe.

We then went into Lakesview Mall which is a food court overlooking a beautiful waterway. Curepipe is known as The City of Lights and this is because it had electricity back in 1865! Many people had moved here from Port Louis during the malaria outbreaks and the arrival of the train led to even further development. Canals were built in the 1930s which greatly reduced the humidity and swampiness, but couldn't halt the extraordinary amount of rain.

At the end of our tour of Curepipe, we visit the old market which will be transformed shortly as the trains are returning in the form of a metro. We enjoy a dhol puri from one of the many food vendors near the bus station.

We drive around Moka in Mauritius

We drive down the main road in Moka, looking out for the smart city. Most of it is behind lush vegetation on the main road, so we head into the heart of the village, which seems to be made up of lots of smaller villages, but all under the banner of prosperity, An interesting drive that ended up where we started (luckily).

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.
