When they told us a few days before that we would not be making it off the ship in Mauritius, I was very upset. But thanks to ISE and the women in charge on the ship, we were able to get off the ship in Mauritius. We had a total of 4 hours in port and we made the most of it, or at least we tried to. We got a taxi to the beaches and I put my feet in the Indian Ocean. Mauritius is a beautiful place and many people go there for their honeymoons. We went to a market that was very similar to the straw market in Nassau, Bahamas. All of the beaches in Mauritius are public beaches, even in front of the hotels and resorts such as Club Med. I saw an advertisement for an energy drink: Drink and Drive…Energizing Mauritius. I thought it was a very different advertisement and is nothing like we would ever see in the US because of the association with alcohol consumption. The music that was playing in the taxi was a mixture between Indian and US music--like Akon with indian instruments in the background.
