Mauritius

Only here for one day, so in this port we had to pack it all in! Since Mauritius is known for its water, five groups of 40 kids rented catamarans for the day. Back when SAS was crazy, and they actually weren't strict about EVERYTHING, this port was the "spring break" of SAS. Well, one day was enough of a spring break for me. It was crazy. These catamarans we got into were open bar and had an open BBQ. We sailed out around 10am onto literally the clearest water I have ever seen. Mauritius was a beautiful place- very green, high buildings near the water, and it felt like the people were a mixture between Indian and African. The water though was unreal. The kids that didn't do the catamaran went scuba diving becasue Mauritus is one of the best places to scuba in the world. I would've loved to do that too, but how could you pass up a catamaran with 40 other kids! We sailed out to this island about two hours away and anchored all five boats next to each other. We were given snorkels and we basically just had fun in the sun for the rest of the day. Jumping from boat to boat, exploring the side of the island, and well it was open bar... so ya very fun day! My body though is legit falling apart after such a crazy Capetown and now probably the most intense single day ever. So I am currently in need of water and sleep pronto!
