Arrival at the Mauritius airport - we were welcomed with fantastic weather!
My boss dying for a smoke, after the 7 hrs long flight 
we stayed at sofitel resort, wonderful hotel with the most COMFY BED i've ever slept on. the room was very nice, too nice for one person...
the balcony at the end of the room opens up to a sea view, (although it was kind of blocked by some coconut trees), the perfect place to chill with a glass a wine..
cold it might be, but i still couldnt resist it.
horse-riding in the sunset -a heart-achingly romantic moment
watching the sky translate into different shades of purple and orange
blue blue crystal clear waters that put sentosa to shame
soft fine sand that collaspes under your feet
in the presence of such pristine beauty, there stood a lonesome figure...THATS ME!!
couldnt resist taking a few more pics of the sea, just to give proof to myself how BLUE it really was.
to be honest, i kind of thought the beach and the sea look better in the photos than in reality...but who is to know until you go there and see for yourself. i dont want to burst anyone's bubble!
taken to lunch at a restaurant surrounded by nature
me on the streets on port louis, the dusty and congested capital of the country. roads have been laned since the colonial times.

my boss and our mauritian partner
all in all, i must said i had a good trip, although it was really more work than play. i treasured the little time i had by the beach, and the peace and tranquility one can almost never get in singapore. it was just me, myself, my thoughts, and the sun, sea and sand standing witness to my presence.
life in mauritius is obviously slower paced. the people there are also more carefree and easy going. when it relates to work, there is a lack of tension and stress that we would normally feel in singapore.
i wish i could stay there longer; to enjoy the illusion that i'm living in another world.
