Ile de Maurice: Finale

Have you ever felt so frustrated when you Googled for travel posts, hoping to get more info from bloggers but instead come across blogposts that had little information on the place you're visiting?

Well here's another one. Hahaha.

Well I've finally gathered enough energy to write another post on my trip to Mauritius. Ok fine, it's gonna be another photo-filled post. Hehe. To wrap up, my sister and I had lunch at Le Chamarel Restaurant. Situated on a hill, this simple restaurant has an amazing view. See for yourself!

Photobombed by some random mat salleh

This was at the lookout point on the way to the restaurant

At the entrance of the restaurant

  

MashaAllah an amazing view

No, I didn't take this off from the website

Simply breathtaking

If I recall correctly, Charamel has a museum/store that sells the 7-colored earth. (I just got mine from one of the markets. Haha). Even if you don't feel like eating, do pay a visit to this place and enjoy the view.

La Route Du Sel (couldn't find their website so this would have to do!)

It's nothing extraordinary really, just a salt pan across the road from my sister's house. How convenient right? Nevertheless I've never been to a salt pan before, so if you've never been to one either, here's what a salt pan looks like.

This is how a salt pan looks like, senget

Wearing a shirt from Out of Africa and a necklace from one of the stalls,

both in Mauritius

Isn't the blue sky amazing? Yes, I purchased a few packets of salt of course.

And an apron.

I'm pretty sure I had more photos of the seasalt and salt pan without me in it.......... Oh, here they are!

Well that actually pretty much sums up my short trip to Mauritius. I hope you have enjoyed viewing the photos as much as I have posting them. It would be lovely to be able to visit Mauritius again sometime.

To end on a nonsensical note, here's a photo of me at my sister's fav fishmonger shop with a super big yellowfin tuna!

Mauritius : Part Deux

I really admire how some fashion/any other bloggers can have the energy to blog almost everyday. Especially those who have day jobs. Then again, not everyone is as lazy as I am. Heheh.

So here I am after another month of hiatus, to continue my story on my Mauritius trip. Which was about 7 months ago. Haha. I'm just relating all my stories based on the photos I took (as I obviously have forgotten details), but as they say a picture paints a thousand words...... (or in this case a photo tells....?)

L'aventure du Sucre

Welcome to the Sugarcane Factory

Finally got to wear my Sacoor Brothers skirt.

Enter

At a sugar factory, naturally you'd walk through a path lined with sugarcane!

This is some machine/equipment thingamajig they used to use back in the days...

Four of the many different types of sugar

Posing maut with the sugarcanes

My delicious lunch at La Fangourin

Shoppinnnngg~~~!

 Moi et ma soeur after shopping. Heheh.

Technically I didn't really visit the sugar factory. We just went there for a yummy lunch at La Fangourin and shopping! Purchased several types of sugar as souvenirs and for myself, and also an apron that I have not touched till now. Teeheehee. It was too nice to be used lah!

Next up, we went for a little historical tour.

Chateau Labourdonnais

So this is what a chateau looks like! An absolutely beautiful mansion, which I believe has been restored. Apparently they kept the furniture that was part of the original building. Each piece was luxurious, of intricate designs, carefully preserved. They unfortunately do not allow photos to be taken inside the house. So I only have photos of me camwhoring outside. Enjoy!

A big mansion with a big lawn

Another posing maut

Le Chateau. Gorgeous ain't it?

I don't mind having a house like this in the future.

Where I can keep all my kids and grandkids under one roof. Teeheehee

"Oh... It's such a beautiful weather isn't it darling~!"

A nice fountain to complement the chateau

Just a spot for me to camwhore

Staring longingly at the clear blue sky... Longing for I don't know what. Hahah

"Come join me for a cup of tea darling!"

A massive corridor

Frankly, I can't really recall what's the background on Chateau Labourdonnais. That's why I provided you the link, so you could do your own reading. Meheheheh. I hope my photos are enough to convince you to visit the place though. :D

Well that's all for now. Time to go to bed. Another loooong day at work tomorrow!
