Mauritius Island, December 24th

What a spectacular tour we had today. It was long and varied but we saw various cities, beaches, flora and industries.

Mauritius is an island of 1.3 million people, independent for 42 years, is generally clean and pastoral with multiple small towns. The infrastructure was built by the "Compagnie des Indes" with East Indian labour. It is a mosaic of blacks, Chinese and mainly east Indians who are its GDP champions. Religions share this mosaic with Tamils (see temple) Hindus and Moslims living in apparent harmony.
