It is one of the best of the top honeymoon spots in the world. The name of the island is Mauritius. Mauritius is a small oyster-like island on the south-east coast of Africa, a few thousand kilometers away from Madagascar. Being a Southern Hemisphere country, the cycle of seasons is just opposite to our country. Summer here is from November to May. And winter is from May to November. The time gap with India is not much. Mauritius is only one and a half hours behind India.

Settlements covered with small trees, markets. Food, drinks, decorations, household items, utensils are sold along the way. Beyond the bazaar is the hemispherical harbour. Rows of merchant ships. The bus will not come uphill beyond the city – the Citadel is at the top of the hill. Port Louis looks like a picture by the sea from above.

Now ride the bus along the pitched mountain road and come up to the top of a round hill surrounded by railings. Far below are volcanic craters, like small pools, surrounded by vegetation. This is the mouth of the volcano. After seeing this, let’s go to the Hindu temple, there is a huge stone Shiva statue on the road. Wearing tiger skin, trident in hand, crescent on head, snake around neck. The Hindu temple covers a large area. Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Radhakrishna, Kuber who is not inside?

Luxury Rio de Janeiro tour
No matter how much Brazil loses in the World Cup, football means Brazil, the art of football means that country, I came to see that a few days ago when I went to Rio. If you see Copacabana beach in Rio in the afternoon, you will think that this is a football and volleyball training ground. I sat down in one of the lovely seating areas built on the sidewalk by the sea to watch the game. I was amazed to see the magic of their feet in heel and instep dribbling. The sun slowly set across the Atlantic. Such a bright light shone on the darkness. Football, volleyball practice continued. Copacabana beach is a strange place. In addition to football, volleyball, a wide range of physical activities are organized. There is jogging, evening walking.
Characteristics of the city of Rio
Instructors come from training centers and teach the kids rope walking and other rope games. Adults are also practicing various types of acrobatics by bringing various costumes and equipment. We are the only ones lazily walking along the sandy beach. The wide black and white marble pavement by the sea becomes colorful when the evening light comes on. Ramps for cycling, roller skating and jogging are lined up on the pavement. Then the driving road. This black-and-white wavy design is characteristic of the city of Rio. This design is also painted on various handicrafts at all the landmarks or souvenir shops across the city. Walking along the sidewalk, the feet got stuck in the melody of the wonderful music. At an open-air restaurant, some people indulged in a drink called ‘bipirinha’ and fried seafood. A beautiful girl is busy listening to their music. His fingers like a calliper are strumming the strings of the guitar on his lap.
Street Things
Instead of Coke and Pepsi, I see most people drinking sweetened coconut water sold by sophisticated roadside carts when they feel thirsty on the go. Some have the sour-sweet guanara fruit juice in their hands. It can be understood that the people here are naturally health conscious. Vinegar-soaked corn and fried tapioca called ‘churros’ are also being sold at roadside stalls. In a restaurant, I saw a samba dance going on to the beat of the music. I was hypnotized and looked at their feet. A little further, three African artists are playing drums on a bench by the road. What a wonderful harmony of rhythm is happening in the combined playing of the three. As we approached, the group of musicians greeted us with smiles.
Right in the middle of the blue expanse of the Atlantic, the golden coastline and the green mountain range is Rio de Janeiro. Really amazing. Brazilian pronunciation ‘Hio de Janeiro’. ‘Hio de Janeiro’ means River of January. A Portuguese captain named Andre Goncaves was sailing his ship towards Guanabara Bay. It seemed to him that he had arrived at the mouth of a great river. The day was January 1, 1502. Later history tells the story of French, Spanish and finally Portuguese colonization here. So different cultures are united in this city.
Christ the Redeemer
When the sky is clear, the giant white statue of Christ the Redeemer, clothed in a robe and arms outstretched, can be seen from anywhere in Rio. The 300-meter-high, 1,000-metric-ton statue was installed at the top of Corcovar Mountain to celebrate Brazil’s centenary of independence. Local people believe that the statue of Jesus with two arms outstretched protects the residents of Rio from all evil. On a bright sunny day, I left the clutches of Copacabana Beach and headed towards Corcovado.
The small two-room red toy train began to climb up the jungle path towards the top of the hill. Side-by-side side by side road. I see there are jackfruit fruits on the mountain. The train stopped at a small narrow station. From there it is a bit further by Volvo bus. Spreading two hands is huge. The fine workmanship in the architecture of the idol was not much noticed. Many people of different countries, languages, clothes have gathered there. But the most interesting thing is that once you go to Chatal Panchil, a unique scene opens before your eyes. Sight goes far. The eyes were stuck in the deep blue of the abyss. The city of Rio became visible in a flash with its desolate beauty. In the distance we saw Rio’s famous Maracana Stadium, Sugar Loaf Mountain and Guanabara Bay, with thousands of small colorful boats moored at the pier.
Hotel experience
We are four-day guests at the Cabanacopa Hostel on a small hill. I was surprised to hear ‘Namaste’ during breakfast. A sweet girl standing in front with folded hands. The talk was done. Name Paula Giraldo, home in Colombia. Excited to hear that I am Indian and from Calcutta, Paula ‘hugs’ me and kisses me on the cheek. He said, Calcutta is a famous city. Paula started saying, the philosophy of yoga and spiritualism of your country has taught us to live in a new way. Social and economic corruption in their country is sky high. Paola, her father Octavio and mother Bertha regularly attend Indian yoga and philosophy classes near their home. There is always a festive mood at Cobanacopa Hostel. Children of the modern generation from different countries flock here. It’s a busy place until midnight.
National Park
There is a big national park next to the hostel. It is better to call it forest instead of park. There are small swings in the park, a variety of children’s play equipment, as well as a dense forest on one side. One morning I went to see a big squirrel chirping in the front tree. I was quite surprised to see a long striped tail hanging from the branches of the tree. Squirrel so long tail? In the meantime, I see them jumping from tree to tree.
To be suspicious, I looked at the binoculars. Oma, how human are the small faces. It is as if the faces of many people are hidden between the leaves of the tree. On both sides of the ear are two bunches of saffron. Now I can recognize it. They are the famous marmoset monkeys of South America. As soon as someone spread pieces of food, they came down the tree in groups. But there is no way to approach. So it moves up and hangs its long tail and sits on the tree branch.
Copacabana Beach
The next day after breakfast I left for Copacabana. In the charm of the beach, I will enjoy the sea all day long. Crossing the waves of black and white marble on the sidewalk, I see a fair of colorful umbrellas on the sandy beach. A huge fake sand castle on a sandy beach at one place. Somewhere there is a sand-sculpture of ‘Christ the Redeemer’ with two hands spread out. This art is very skillful and perfect. Next to the artist is a coin drop box. The lush green coconut trees cast a cool shade on the sandy beach. Beautiful women in special cut brazilian bikinis are enjoying the waves of the sea.
The huge blue waves of the Atlantic come crashing into the white foam. And a group of young and old people are looting with him. A dark red Navy helicopter occasionally makes deep circles overhead. Someone is watching so that they don’t go too deep into the sea and get into danger. Some are wearing bikinis, sunglasses on their eyes, sneakers on their feet, and earphones in their ears. A funny thing happened at this time. I am sitting on the sand in an Indian swimsuit. Measuring the waves.
Keep in mind
Yellow fever vaccine must be taken before departure. When visiting Rio, don’t forget to bring mind-blowing aromatic coffee. Both dust and beans are available.
