Leaving Mauritius

My last day of Mauritius was a tearful one, saying goodbye to my grandfather always ends up difficult. For a man whom I have only met 3 times in my life I have an amazingly strong bond with him. I have promised to head back in 2010 and I am also planning to do the Mauritius 100K bike race. The family have agreed to be my roadside support and the support vehicle.

We both got presents and a lot of love from all the family on the last day. Everyone was very kind to us both.

Well frankly, having read what you ate in Mauritius I'm suprised the plane to New Zealand could actually take off! Would be good to see some photos, (subtle hint), otherwise I can continue in my belief that you're not somewhere lovely and are in fact shivvering in a cold corner of London trying to fool us all. We've gone into rainbow season in Scotland, all sunshine and showers, and mud. Lots of mud. Question - what's the official language in Mauritius? (Other than Rum soaked rantings from the Caleya Chetty Crew). Take care, miss you, CBAI xxx

Official language is English but they speak a mix of Hindi, french creole, english and 2 others that I can't remember. Very confusing when you are tyring to pick up bits of the language.
