Today Markus asked for a tour of Port Louis for his birthday. The traffic to Port Louis was a bit heavier than usual today, but we still got there before Bertrand. We met at the old post office and then had a bit of a history lesson, it was quite interesting and we swapped stories, it was a nice experience. Bernard brought us some fermented fruit, which reminded us of our pear and rye filling and tasted good. We then set off on a tour, stopping at the landing site of the Dutch, who were the first to land here. We then walked via the old town centre to the market, where we first tried a special small banana variety. Then we had roti at the Indian restaurant, which was delicious. We then stopped by the lottery kiosk and played the Friday lottery, unfortunately neither of us won anything. We were already familiar with the market, but it is always impressive. We continued on to the large mosque, a very relaxed visit, the mosque is actually in the Chinese quarter. Sylvia wanted to know where to buy fabrics. Voilá, one fabric shop next to another just round the corner. The only samosas with beef are right next to the mosque and they were very good. We also had chicken, which is baked almost like piccata with an egg breading. Afterwards we walked on to the government district and then back to the waterfront, where we had some sweet coconut rice and sweet samosas - we could have tried more, but we'll save that for another time. Bernard showed us his city in an impressive way, thank you very much for the great time with you.
Here is the link to the tour of A'NWALÉ MAURITIUS you can easily book it via Airbnb.
We started the day with a candle and the journey back north passed quickly with spaghetti Pedro (with strips of beef). The speciality shop had great wines, so we were able to enjoy a nice Saint Emilion. To round off a wonderful day, we had a cigar, accompanied by a dark rum and black Lindor balls. It really doesn't get any better than this!
I would also like to thank you for the many congratulations that have reached me via various media, it was great to hear from you all.
