  • Grand port is full of interesting things. The site of the Dutch first landing in Mauritius, The Dutch fort (Frederick Hendrick fort and museum) which was built on by the French. Ferney nature conservation and the oldest sugar mill in Mauritius. The introduction of deer and sugar cane monuments are also here and don't forget the lion (well, it's a mountain). What a great way to spend my birthday. Jump points to follow.

    I was born in Ferney and now live in London. I am moved with this video. We used to walk (2 minutes from where I lived) to the monument First Dutch Landed mostly everyday. We would sit there and eat salads mangue/concombre et bilinbi. Thanks Bryan for sharing and happy birthday to you. I can't wait to go there.

    Happy birthday Bryan. Love your artwork Riki. A lot of interesting information interspersed with fun humour of the interactions between you and Riki. Mauritius comes alive in your videos, thanks so much guys. One of your videos had a map showing us where the place was located that you were visiting. FIY that was very cool rather than checking Google map later :)

      The paradise Island of Mauritius have imported 80,000 foreign workers from Asia (Bangladesh.) Now I can understand why the population of Mauritius is high.

    • @Reed427
      @Reed427 3 года назад

      @Nawshad Mohoboob Some of the Bangladeshi have obtained permanent residence on the Island of Mauritius. When their contract ends ,most of them will refuse to return back to poverty stricken Bangladesh, Madagascar etc. This is what happens, when a government wants to recruit cheap workforce. I am so glad the United Kingdom have left the European Union, and it will definitely make it difficult for the Easter European to take employment and bringing organised crime in to Great Britain.

    Happy birthday Bryan. At 1:43 it could be an old lime kiln. Water towers are rare in Mauritius as there is abundant flowing water throughout the year. There are many of these old lime kilns dotting the coast a few feets from the shore. This place is called Ferney at the mouth of the rivière Champagne. I grew up about 3 Km south of there :) Thanks for sharing.

    • @BryanDiscoversWorld
