It’s believed that Mark Twain said that Heaven was copied after Mauritius. And to be honest, the moment you step in Mauritius you can see why he said that. This is my third time visiting Mauritius, and every single time I am happy to be back.
Towards the end of 2021 my husband suggested that we spend our winter holidays in Mauritius. He is born and raised there and we haven’t visited his family since we moved to Japan.
We stayed 20 days there. The decision to spend our holiday there was not easy, since due to Covid there are lot of restrictions in Mauritius itself and in Japan. But after lot of discussions we decided that it’s the best to go now.
In December in Mauritius it’s peak summer, temperatures are between 25-35 degrees, it’s bit humid and really hot. Going from temperatures below 0 degrees in Japan to +30 degrees it took some time for us to adjust.
During our stay in Mauritius the most time we spend with my husband’s close family, but on weekends we did explored the island a bit.
We mainly visited Casela (well known zoo), Île Aux Benitiers and La Vallee des couleurs.
