Mauritius Part 1

Our trip begins with a free pass to the AirFrance business class lounge?! Where did that come from? I guess because we were high rollin' it at an all inclusive in Mauritius. They don't seem to do that when you do all inclusives in Cancun!



These pictures are all out of order, but this is the view from a little cafe. This water spray was in that tube at the top very refreshing. It wasn't super hot there though. Very pleasant in general. 



I'm drinking Mauritius beer here! It's called, Phoenix!

These ladies were crazy! We walked in the shop and they immediately were giving us shots of home made rum! It was made by infusing vanilla and something else into the rum! It might have been the best rum I ever drank. And don't forget Ruby's Mom in the left corner. We immediately signed up for a boat trip with these lady's tour company! The pictures from the boat are in the next blog post! 

WHOA check out that amazing fish!! IN THE FISH TANK AT OUR HOTEL! HAHAHAHAH gotcha. Well, probably not, if you are like a good photo noticer



 Our hotel pool....ooooh nice! :)

Back in the town now, a viw of Grand Baie and the selling of some fresh fish!



Cocktails after our boat trip. There was a nice view of the bay here. 


Check out the next post for more photos!

Cookies and Muffins

  I'm BAAAACK. Let's get right into it! To make a dumb story long- to make a long story dumb? A few weeks ago I saw this cookie magazine at Woodmans and I was like I. Want. that. Then I saw it cost $12.99. No.  I also know cookie recipes are onLINE, but boring. There's just something fun about looking at beautiful cookie pictures! Anyway, I went home, searched the library and put 2 Christmas cookie books on hold. A week later I got my books and what a disappointment. Boo. No good recipes in either of them. TODAY I'm at the grocery store and there she is, Taste of Home Holiday Cookies and Baking!!! And I was right, within the 1st 5 pages, there were 4 cookies that looked amazing. Even MORE amazing was page 15 where I found the cranberry orange cookies- cause I had cranberries in the fridge and randomly bought an orange at the store today! It was destiny! I also found a recipe for pumpkin muffins.  Let's jump right in shall we.   Cranberry Orange Cookies.  There were

Canoeing down the Lower Zambezi

The group, ours and locals going on to the car ferry.  Entrance to the park Dang, what are these birds, I think they are Camden, or Carmen Bug Eaters? or something. Very pretty. The first African elephant I saw! Much Larger than Asian Elephants Who is that lurking in the water??  Some Hippos! Gorgeous stork (I think?) Another elephant. I wonder if he is older, as shown by his color variation? Me reading the book that the new parents (M and R) gave me! Also, notice the 3 beverages. The one in the glass is called a Malawi Shandy and is great. I think it's ginger ale, bitters and...maybe just that. A Rock Shandy is with lemonade instead of ale.   The evening cruise, didn't see nearly as much wildlife, but this guy was yawning.  Zambian Sunset! A baobab tree. Very cool. I wonder if they are unique to Zambia? Happy Animals to you all! Non-Sequitur

Mutinondo

Whoa! What a cool place this Mutinondo  was!  It is is a woodland, wilderness area NORTH EAST of Lusaka about 10 hours by bus. (Sorry about the yelling, that is a little shout out to my friend, you know who you are) (Also,  let me know if the link doesn't work) There were these gorgeous look-out points and mountains....well, large granite hills, but they were steep enough and we climbed up 2 of them. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of each.  In the top video I'm reaching the top of the mountain!  You can hear our cool driver Mr. K cheering? :) me on!  These photos are in no order exactly, but I'll talk a little about each one! I think this one is on top of the first mountain, called Charlie's Rock This is horse poop (I know you are supposed to say scat in the wilderness, but I think horse poop is funnier. The place has some horses that we didn't ride) The view. Whoa. A little creature roaming around. He was furry and I wonder if he or she o
