Saturday morning in the hot, tropical Mauritius. Crowd of the dark-skin people on the streets… I am getting ready for the departure. But not to the Europe, yet…
Mauritius has two cargo/passenger boats used for the transport to Reunion, Rodrgues Island and /interesting option!/ to Madagascar. I decided to go to the distant Rodrigues aboard “Mauritius Pride”. They have big demand for the tickets so if you want to try you have to make the reservation and to pay by your credit card you have to do that two months ahead. They have a website where you can find the provisional schedules and contact information. Their other ship is called “Mauritius Trochetia”
I was lucky to get an one way-ticket for the 2-days travel in the cabin. It cost me 93 euro and the meals are included.
I hope hat we will depart on time this afternoon. It is still cyclone season but I believe that the voyage will be smooth and I will reach Rodrigues on Monday morning. Ahoy!
