Mauritius


Mauritius is a small island in the Indian Ocean where the MV Explorer docked for a day. I spent the day snorkeling on an island called Ille des Deux Cocos. I saw hundreds of types of fish and there were amazing igneous rock formations on the beaches from the volcanoes on the island. Mauritius was only a brief stop for us so it was difficult to get to know the country but it was a beautiful island that is a favorite tourist destination for South Africans and many Europeans. The biodiversity was astounding and the island had several volcanoes covered in thick forest.
