Exploring Île aux Aigrettes

Posted on December 28, 2018March 28, 2022 by bollingerbabe

It was a struggle to get out of bed this morning due to the 4-hour time difference (it felt like 3.45am) but we nevertheless got up and went out on our balcony, which was already very hot and sultry after the coolness of our air-conditioned room.  The deck was wet in places, however, so there…

Bound for the Boudicca

Posted on December 27, 2018March 28, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Once in the shuttle bus it would take us about 40 minutes to reach the Voyager. En route we were able to get our first impressions of Mauritius, which looked like a typical tropical island, set in the Indian Ocean in the southern hemisphere. We passed through colourful towns and quaint villages, as well as…

Christmas and New Year are out of the way now and it was time for our thoughts to turn, once again, to exotic holidays. We are setting off today to join the M/V Voyager for a cruise in the Indian Ocean. So it was with that happy thought that we leapt out of bed at…
