  • In this video we’re spending a perfect day exploring Mauritius by car. We start the day at the beach in Flic en Flac at our favourite beach spot. We then review our favourite ice cream that’s from Mauritius (called Kulfi Malai) and super tasty! For lunch we taste delicious Mauritian/Creole food at a family restaurant called Creole Shack. Our plan was then to drive further inland to check out the local market in Quatre Bornes and the park on top of a dormant volcano called Trou aux Cerfs. In the evening we make it back just in time to Flic en Flac to enjoy a great sunset at our favourite beach spot.

    This video is part of a multi-part series of our ultimate ROAD TRIP THROUGH MAURITIUS! Mauritius is a popular honeymoon and beach holiday destination but it has so much more to offer than beautiful beaches (although there are many of them as well). We’re really excited to get to know this African island country and its culture and cuisine. On our road trip we’ll spend three weeks driving from the South up the West coast, then further into the North and finally down the East coast. Our goal is to get to know Mauritius from all sides, as well as check out its beautiful beaches and nature.

Thanks for the tip about the ice cream which is new to us so will have a look for it and think of you when we eat it. Safe travels, Zoe and Simon!!!

    Hey Zoe and Simon 😊 this is so random and funny at the same time. I'm currently visiting my brother in NRW (we are both from Mauritius ; He lives in Krefeld and I live in Paris but I did my Erasmus in Leipzig like 4 years ago) and we were looking for food videos from home as it's been a while since we went back to our island ^^ Wir haben gerade ihren RUclips-Kanal entdeckt and we've been binge watching everything! 😄 Have fun over there and enjoy the sunny weather, it's freezing out here in EU 😅 viel spaß und liebe gruße!

    I can't live in Mauritius without being in Quatre Bornes, Rose Hill or Curepipe... and I'm not interested in the coastal villages where it's too hot, humid and people very different... they are worlds apart as exemplified by that contrast between Curepipe and Flic-en-Flac. It rains 90% of the time in Curepipe and that's the way I like Mauritius... cool, rainy and windy

    • @ZoeandSimon
      @ZoeandSimon  Год назад +1

      Curepipe is definitely very charming too! We like a good mix between coastal towns and the often less touristy towns further inland. Both have their advantages and the overall vibe is different.

    Nice video. However Rs750 per person for that three course meal is very expensive. The food is simple. If you are in flic en flac, try Ah Youn restaurant. Youbwill love their food.

    • @ZoeandSimon
      @ZoeandSimon  Год назад +2
