Mauritius

A day in town and not on a tour. Head for the market to see what the locals eat.
The squashes and fruit were enormous and the celery and leeks were tiny!!!

We found that the fruit and veg of the squash/pumpkin types were all enormous.  

The pomegranates were enormous and sweet.

People eat fish sold from the market. No refrigeration here and it was hot!  Their digestive systems are obviously stronger than ours!!   

Tony holding the palm in which there is a heart, which is on the plate and tasted delicious.


A small quiet place to eat in Port Louis, the capital.
All the resorts are on the other side of the island.

Leaving Port Louis, leisurely!
