Getting back in chronological order...
To get from the place we docked to the rest of the land, we took motor boat taxis. Pretty legit.
KFC with chicken that tastes suspiciously of fish (it is an island after all so I cant blame em)
Pride of a bird that has been extinct for
like hundreds of years or something (1600s maybe? Apparently this bird is not as important to me as it is to the Mauritians) The Dodo bird in case you were wondering. They market the sh** out of this unimpressive, but more importantly nonexistent, bird to tourists.
I went on the best hike of my life to a waterfall. It wasnt one of those cross back and forth on a small dirt path slowly up the mountain types. We were hacking our way through brush, jumping over streams, and bouldering up rocks covered in loose dirt. SO much fun. And the reward? A beautiful waterfall, ending in a clear pool of water. I sat in a cave behind the water falling down and watched the rainbow flowing back and forth across the waterfall. Breathe taking.
Went to a hotel at night along a beautiful beach.
o Sandy heels
o Rock cut feet
o Unnaturally colored cocktails
o A night to remember (and for many one that is going to be tucked nicely in the trunk in their heads labeled: Warning: Do not open)
Successful little Spring Break in the middle of a sobering and eye-opening experience.
Not honeymoon worthy though
