Welcome to Mauritius

Well here we are in Mauritius in the middle of the Indian Ocean and staying at the Legends resort on the north of the island.

It is like a slice of paradise.




We have a Junior Suite which is for the three of us and it is positioned at the end of a outcrop of land. We have our own terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean with chairs and tables to relax and watch the sunset.





We have a massive jacuzzi which opens out onto the main terrace and the views over the ocean.

We are "all Inclusive" which basically means that we will come home very very very much fatter!

24 hour room service, open bars day and night and self service buffets loaded with extremely nice food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and you can imagine we will need extra wide business class seats on the way home!




The temperature is about 30ÂșC and the blue sky melts into the aqua ocean at the horizon as you will see from the pictures.

We are at the top of the island and travelled the full length of the island from the airport on Saturday morning.

Here is a ariel picture of our home for the week.




There are pictures on the net already and you can click here to see them.
