A Quick Look at Port Louis’ Central Market

We began the morning wandering through Port Louis’ Central Market. The colourful fruit and vegetable aisles were buzzing, full of vegetables I didn’t recognize, but it was the butchery section that really stood out. It was lovely seeing how no part of the animal goes to waste, and not a plastic wrapper in sight.

Breakfast on the Street: Dhol Puri

Before heading north, we stopped for a dhol puri — warm, soft, generously filled. Simple, perfect street breakfast fuel.

Driving North: Grand Baie & Mon Choisy

Back in the car, we drove up to Grand Baie, a lively and much busier resort town. The bay was dotted with yachts gently bobbing in the sunshine.

From there, we continued on to Mon Choisy, where we stopped at a beach shack for lunch:

• Rice & chicken bowl for me
• Smoked marlin salad for Ed

Checking In: Voile Bleue, Trou aux Biches

We arrived at our next stop, Voile Bleue, a relaxed beachfront hotel in Trou aux Biches. After checking in, we spent some time by the pool and took a walk into town.

We made it back just in time to walk out over the lava rocks on the beach for a beautiful sunset

Dinner & a Quiet Evening

We found a steak restaurant for dinner, then strolled back to the hotel for a quiet drink by the pool before heading to bed. A gentle, simple end to a full day.
