Visa on Arrival for Indians! That's a change! Friendly People, Even Better! Yummy Food, what more could you ask for? Drowning the food with Mauritian Rhum (Rum) is almost a must. After all that Rhum you will need no instructor for doing a Sega (Traditional Mauritian Dance). When you ask for Rum in any shop, the shop-keeper asks if you want an Industrial Rum (distilled at a distillery) or an Agricultural (labelled Agricole)Rum. Go for the Agricultural one. You will also get Rum flavored with Vanilla (quite nice) and Pineapple (not bad).
Amongst the PikPiks (local small red colored birds)and Red-Whattled Bulbuls we ate at the Best restaurant in Mauritius. It's a small place called M near Chamarel. The Butter-fried Prawns are out of this world!So is the grilled chicken that is served on a bed of flavored rice and a very spicy chutney made of only ground green chillies. You'll start humming the song "Heaven, I am in Heaven......( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYMDXO-cJoQ ). Raspberries are another pleasant surprise in Mauritius. Super Sweet. But again, Mauritius is out of this world but Mauritians are not from Mars!!!!
Here's a link to my pics of Mauritius. If you like them please write a few good words. If you Don't then don't say anything.

P.S.: Dont miss the Mauritius Coffee. It is Chocolaty and Fruity at the same time. V.V. Good.
