The Epicurious Wanderers!

Aah Mauritius

Well we’ve been a little quiet for the last few days, not there’s nothing to write about but more that we’ve just been chilling out.

We spent yesterday lazing by the beach reading our books and sipping on gin & tonics, not a bad way to spend the day. After our time at Simbambili it was nice to just stop.

Paradis is set on the point at La Morne, it has the most amazing beaches and last nights sunset was simply spectacular. The resort itself is nice, although the rooms are a little tired and could do with a freshen up. Ours has mismatched curtains and the furniture shows signs of wear. The food at the main restaurant last night was excellent, so much variety at the buffet it took a few minutes to take it all in before we attacked. We have the half board option so breakfast and dinner are included. Lunch can be quite expensive and there are no options to just walk out the gate and go to an nearby restaurant. Drinks are also fairly expensive, given they have a captive market this seems excessive.

This morning we went for an ocean cruise, hoping to swim with dolphins. We didn’t get to as the lone dolphin we spotted was more interested in playing hide and seek with us. We did though go snorkelling over a coral reef, the colours were brilliant and there was a huge array of fish to watch. The ride back was great, we detoured to look at a new villa development all with private boat docks, very flash. After that we cruised back through the crystal clear water watching the coral pass by underneath us. It was a great way to spend a morning.

After lunch we went for a stroll along the beach, just taking in the resort. We then decided, or I decided, to visit the driving range at the golf course. The course looks pretty good so I thought hitting a bucket of balls would be a good idea. I hit the ball fairly well but it was on the range and not a fairway, not a tree in sight. Very humid on the course though.

Now we are just chilling on the deck with a glass of Moët, and early anniversary drink. Tomorrow we’ve hired a driver to take us out to see some of the sights.
