On arrival at the airport, we were 'greeted' with a wall of humidity, locals performing a dan

Magical Mauritius
Having visited Mauritius many times before, I never tire of this magical island. It is always an enriching experience, bringing you in contact with its cultures, religions and cuisine of their multi-racial and colourful population.
