(Pre-PS: Be patient while the photos load… It takes time but it’s worth it… Olympus Camera C-370, only 3.2 mega pixel …)
As per request of Jim (fat drunken contented pup ;P ) and Elwood (uh….? ;P ) but also to show you people, some pictures of the island of Mauritius, only the western and southern part. Well only a few pictures were taken, showing of course only part of its beauty, the rest you have to discover by coming here Me and my galfwen (copilot) on a decent bike… (so what? ) well she could not take more pictures because it is winter here and she had her fingers crispy cold… Still enjoy the pictures and of course, comments are welcome. Sad I could not go to other more beautiful places; time limited and I am flying to uk this saturday. Wish I could show you more but anyways, something is better than nothing…
PS: The photos are not in order so you’ll have both days mixed…
The ride + scenes
Corps De Garde (guardian) mountain
salt plants? i don’t remember how we call that but sea water is placed to evaporate, leaving salt crystals to be collected and treated/refined before selling…
tilt ye head to ze left to understand
the only reason why tourists come in abundance (well that’s one area, there’s more all round the island..)
pix of other roads, park and cliff/sea
these are 125cc 2T bikes… look below the DT logo on the tank and there’s something like a boost mechanism, that’s what was written..lol.. off road bikes..
that’s all.. i know its a lot ;P hope you had nice time viewing them… was fun riding but long voyages are tiresome and had buttocks and shoulders aching… well anyways there is a lot more to discover and go, as there are places i myself was not aware of and did not visit… till then enjoy and keep it revvin’ ;P

sonofagun, it’s beautiful where you’re at right now… albeit, the roads are a bit too straight for my tastes…
