great video as usual. the little river @30:50 it's called Le Pouce stream. it works as a storm drain. Since port louis is surrounded by mountains ( on 3 sides), during heavy rainfall, water from the mountain flood the area. these canals help the water to safely flow into the sea and there are 3 of them. in 2013 some construction project blocked one of them and it resulted in a flooding of the area and tragic loss of life.
Not only construction in 2013 - One of the main blockage is the MONSTROUS parking built by Rogers on top of the Le Pouce Stream at John Kennedy Street - just next to the Rogers Aviation building. I have no idea who gave work permit for these constructions nor am I accusing anyone of corruption....
Bryan love you’re videos missing Mauritius been coming for ten years unfortunately last holiday cancelled due to COVID Two days before we where due to fly. Keep them coming.
I'm pretty sure that the old building with the arches at the entrance of the Caudan was the headquarters of the British firm Blyth Bros where I used to work as an assistant storekeeper from 1966 until June 1972 when I migrated to Australia in July of that same year. The old railways and the official docks were on the left-hand side of Blyth Bros and furthermost to the left across the main road were the Post Office, the bus terminal and a small Cafė called "Chemineau" very famous for its boiled noodles. "Chemineau" is translated tramp, vagrant in English. Speaking of those things makes me nostalgic; just as well that we can in some way follow in your footsteps to some of these memorable places.
Brings back memories of my brief holiday when you took me there. Loads of interesting info. City of old and new fascinating. Thanks for good editing especially in the meat market :) That bank is an impressive building.
My thanks goes to my sister who introduced me to your channel 👍. My precious home town & owned business place for five generations. I'm so proud that you filmed my shop on Royal road and posed with it at 24.07 mins, Riki's art of the day & my brother in law's shop too across the road. Keep it up! Cheers.
Hi Guys, absolutely great video, very informative/educational, and you guys are fun to watch/follow too. Thank you so much, kind regards from Brazil 🇧🇷
🤩 another great video! Love the fish market with all the different kinds of fish... Port Louis is so modern with all the amazing and huge buildings... it’s different from the other small little towns of Mauritius. Where do you go next?
Newton is pointing to the cramp and asking who did it . The queen facing him told him that she is the one who did it. On the other side Henessy gives a sheet of paper to the queen in order to clean it .
Hi Bryan & Riki, in your videos you state alot of information relating to Mauritian history, it would be really helpful if next time you could reference or provide links to where you find this information in the description box. Thanks 😊
Flacq to P-L daily for school in the 60-70's. In those days the Morris Minor was king of PL. Great vid as always; made me very nostalgic. Did you try the halim soup ? Used to be sold under the huge banyan tree in front of the post office. Probably long gone now !!!!
Hello, I would like to thank you for all your videos. Even though, I am a Mauritian, I would like to thank to your information, as I am learning more about my own country.
I really need to take a trip to Mauritius! How much money should my husband and I set aside? In USD please. I want to shop mostly and try different foods. It's funny that you guys call it Macky D's, We call it Mickey D's ( which now that I think of it yours makes more sense and my Aussie husband used to call it Maccas. I will say, to anyone thinking at least you can have that if you travel...um you can BUT it's not the same food! It doesn't taste the same! The first time I went to Australia there was nothing familiar about the food selections. My brother in law LOVES "Maccas" and that was a no from me, I didn't eat there after my first bite. NOPE! So I believe it's there in name only, the food is based on the culture. That's cool information too Bryan! You and Riki are so informative! It makes complete sense that it's for draft animals now! We call those historical buildings and here they have strict laws and regulations to keep them as pristine as possible. Too bad this isn't smellivison! Twenty cents for that treat?? Fantastic price! That is so cool! I wouldn't want to walk under the bats but I would love to see that!
It's always tricky to budget a holiday to Mauritius, you can go cheap at $75 USD a day, or have a blow the budget all inclusive resort at $1000 a day and up, My best guess for a nice holiday, $250 a day for both of you.
I am Australian now 30 years. I had the pleasure to see the Chinese section that the general public don't see and it's amazing all hidden behind shops etc.... I spent 1 year looking at hidden treasures... I miss my nation very much but I fell deeply in love with the HUMOR OF ITS CULTURE
I have travelled to Mauritius. Beautiful beaches for sure. Many parts are underdeveloped, needs to be more development to charge foreigners such high costs for permanent residency and property investment. Tourist spots are beautiful. Very expensive and overated for investment.
Nice video. What do you think of the hygiene level in Port Louis? Would you buy street food? I am sure there are lots of room from improvement by just doing simple actions from the people by the people and also the authorities. One of the major improvement would be accessibility - pedestrian way and for people on wheelchair. Some streets need to become pedestrian on Saturdays to bring in more activities. There are still space to make it greener - it is called proper urban planning. I am sure there are better ideas out there but due to the high political pressure from the suburbs the business center is being neglected. Last issue about the old buildings. The authority need to make an inventory of them, classify as national patrimony and work to get funds from United Nations or private sector to sponsor the restoration of these buildings. The economic outcome specially tourism is considerable.... hmmm ok .. I will leave it here ...
Thanks for the great comment. I love the idea of making a pedestrian only area, as we nearly got runover a few times. There is a lot that can be done to improve the area. hopefully they will.
goooood stuff mauritius is our next vacation covid permitting ..but did you know the first bridge ever built by humans was in sri lanka called adams bridge coooooooool
Monday, 1 February Commemoration of the Abolition of Slavery 2021 in Mauritius Which is today would have been nice if you had included it in your video
Why didn’t you visit Aapravasi Ghat Aren’t you interested in the real history of the island The railway line you mentioned was used to convey slaves and sugar to and from the plantations and the sugar mills
You might have missed our video on Aapravasi Ghat here's the link ruclips.net/video/MQVIHIawI_8/видео.html .Also while the railway was used to transport sugar, it was only operational 30 years after the end of slavery.
@@BryanDiscoversWorld It was used to transport indentured labourers which is nothing else but slavery in another name these people where tricked and conned by the British and often kidnapped and transported from India to Mauritius and moved from Aapravasi Ghat using the railway to the plantations.
Hi Bryan, These are very old colonial French wooden buildings. Some of the buildings are closed down because the owner of these old colonial buildings have passed away and there is no one to claim the property back. Should you rejuvenate these old colonial buildings they will look great.
Man.... You need to ask a local about the statues in front of parliament... It goes like this... Queen Victoria statue you see her ask STRECHED HAND WHO SHIT THERE8

Our pleasure! Glad you could see your family

You are the BEST! So good presentations of Mauritius. I am impressed. Thank You so much.
Glad you like them!
I guess it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?
Bryan love you’re videos missing Mauritius been coming for ten years unfortunately last holiday cancelled due to COVID
Two days before we where due to fly.
Keep them coming.

Great 👍 I glad we could show you the shop, it really is a beautiful building.
Was there 3 years ago, brings back memories, stayed in La Labouadonnais Waterfront Hotel....Ireland
I love Port Louis
Hi Guys, absolutely great video, very informative/educational, and you guys are fun to watch/follow too.
Thank you so much, kind regards from Brazil 🇧🇷
Glad you enjoyed it! Wow Brazil
You guys are my favorite stars .
thank you so much
I love your energy hahaha always so happy and outgoing 👌😎
Thank you so much 😁
Glad you didn't get scammed this time with the dholl purri! It looked delicious! You missed the best part of the market, the Alouda drink! :)
I got the Alouda at the original Market. but that was on the live. Port Louis makes the best Alouda, they use soft serve ice cream.
@@BryanDiscoversWorld Oh nice! I missed the live video.
Asome video..It brings back memories 😇👍
Glad to hear that
🤩 another great video! Love the fish market with all the different kinds of fish... Port Louis is so modern with all the amazing and huge buildings... it’s different from the other small little towns of Mauritius. Where do you go next?
So true! We are going smaller and central
Thank you for the video im whaching you from uk i was born in Mauritius injoy your holiday 😊 👍

Ok
That was really cool
Only China Town is missing. it wasn't far away and has some nice ancient wooden and stonework buildings
Hopefully we will visit for Chinese new year
I am Australian now 30 years.
I had the pleasure to see the Chinese section that the general public don't see and it's amazing all hidden behind shops etc....
I spent 1 year looking at hidden treasures...
I miss my nation very much but I fell deeply in love with the HUMOR OF ITS CULTURE
You should come back there on Chinese eve the 11th. There are usually a parade every year...
Thanks, we really want to
Thanks

Hi we love you
Thanks for the love
We had tickets, but they wanted to charge us so much to enter, that we gave it a miss
I love that shopping center, it's just hard to do it because of all the commercial music

These are very old colonial French wooden buildings. Some of the buildings are closed down because the owner of these old colonial buildings have passed away and there is no one to claim the property back. Should you rejuvenate these old colonial buildings they will look great.
From the looks of the buildings we saw, I think most of the abandoned buildings only need a little TLC to get them back to top form.
Thanks for your lovely video, please come and visit us in Roche Bois 😀
We will! soon
You have more and taller buildings in Cape Town.
yip
Cape town is huge compared to Mauritius
😱😱😱😱😱❤❤🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks
i am 🇮🇳🇮🇳 India
Victoria Regina .
Yip
Mauritius is cool i love it, but i hate the fact that they drive on right side.
Oh well, we can't have everything, wait, we drive on the left
@@BryanDiscoversWorld Sure
Man.... You need to ask a local about the statues in front of parliament... It goes like this... Queen Victoria statue you see her ask STRECHED HAND WHO SHIT THERE8
Haha, I will have to put it in a video
If you want my wife will tell you the story of the statues
You should do a story of Mauritian HUMUR ED
That would be great
obviously made his money in building
you could be right
This country is africa but the people 70 percent is indian why?
They came as labour 100 years ago
Mauritius is not a paradise as you show them on the report there are places where it is dangerous after there is the drug ravaged
Thanks
bryan like always lovely video don't forget my video of solferino vacoas no2 thanks
I will check it out
