Port Louis Mauritius
Port Louis is the capital city of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It’s known for its French Architecture. Our excursion took us to “Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden”
Port Louis Mauritius
Like most of the islands in the Indian Ocean, they were occupied and Colonized by the French followed by the English. When the British took over the Island after the Napoleon war in Waterloo they allowed the French to keep their properties as long as they didn’t interfere with British rule. English is the prime language followed by French. I spoke French to many people and they all spoke perfect French. We also had the best Belgium Waffle I had outside of Belgium.

Cochin India
Known as the “Queen of the Arabian Sea” Cochin is a bustling port for more than a 1000 years. Again the Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese and British influence the cityscape. Been here many years ago my excursion took me to the Backwater of Kerala’s on a very VERY hot day, but our moving boat give us a little breeze. Our buffet lunch in a cool restaurant was very good.
