Greetings from the Paradisical Island of Mauritius!

Here’s a quick update to let you guys know that I’ve found paradise! An emerald isle found in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is all that I’d imagine it to be, and more. Surrounded by turquoise sea and cluttered with luscious green rainforests, this tropical island is packed with plenty of surprises. Since we got here, we’ve been driving through its bustling towns and sugarcane plantations, soaking up its chilled undercurrents and getting a feel of its electic ethnic culture. We’re here for just a week, before hopping over to our main destination: Madagascar! While I try my best to steer clear from my laptop (we’re on our honeymoon!), here are some pictures shot over the past few days to give you a glimpse of island life on Mauritius. Enjoy!

Belle Mare beach – pristine waters, clear skies and not a single person in sight.

The 7-colored earth surrounded by luscious palm trees and mountains.

A stunning view of the Black Gorge River National Park in Southern Mauritius.

Huge waves and green grass at the Roche Noir beach.

Our intimate and cosy resort at Belle Mare.

That’s me, happily wading into the clear waters at Grand Baie, Mauritius.
