Mouth-watering Mauritius: the heavenly joys of this paradise island in the Indian Ocean

Dive into Mauritius: This Indian Ocean island may be small, but it offers rainforests, giant tortoises and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Mauritius resort is "like a lottery winner's TV commercial set", he reveals Local cuisine and culture "sucks in the best of African, Indian, Chinese and European influences", says -il Advertisement

The elderly couple in front of us are in the throes of passion. I say "passion" but, to be precise, the old chap attempts an awkward escalation on his lover, who stages a slow and ineffective getaway.

Well , it's not easy to be dashing when you're approaching 150 and cluttered with bodies roughly the size of a family sedan.

It's a problem that Tizean and Rosette (or could it be Toto and Tifam?) must have solved it somehow, with the wisdom gained from being among the most ancient residents of Mauritius, as they have apparently produced several dozen descendants over the decades.
