The second older airport is home to a number of budget airlines that can be used to easily and quickly reach a number of destinations within the country.

The Mauritian Chronicles: Paradise Lost and Found

August 16, 2014 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

John M. Edwards grabs his “Beachcombers Card” and does Divali (Festival of Lights) on delicious Mauritius, a paradisiacal Indian Ocean isle--once the roost of extinct dodos, now the boast of professional beachbums--which initially he can’t place on a map! “Incredible!” You are from New York?!” boomed Willy Van Damme, a friendly Belgian restaurateur and former soldier of fortune, in the sleepy resort town of Péreybere. “Very rare!
