Blue Bay

We had another 10+ dish chinese meal last Saturday. Every time we thought they were done, they brought another dish. Of course, we had to keep trying the food. Heather freaked out over seeing the head of steamed fish with its teeth.
Blue Bay is in the South South East corner of the island and is close to the airport. We stayed in Blue Bay for a couple of nights. Swimming is big in Mauritius; there was a swim club practicing right at the beach. Apparently there is a swimming pool that is waiting for a heater before it opens. We visited the Mahebourg waterfront but we were too late to visit the naval museum. I needed air in my tires but, of course, all the gas stations close at noon on Sunday. We went to the marine park in Blue Bay (there is another one in Bacclava) and went snorkeling. The corals were huge. There are 28 species of corals and 72 species of fish in the lagoon. We bought more necklaces on the beach.
Heather is "camping" in Flic en Flac for a couple of nights with a friend and her family. She is still fitting in her swim practices in between all of this. Her friend's dad is taking Heather to swim practice and then she is going to stay to teach her friend starts and underwater kick.
