Welcome to Expat-Blog! It does not look like a huntsman to me, but again, I am no arachnologist, so perhaps I should just keep my mouth shut :rolleyes: I couldn't help notice the line "It's a green and nice island overall but you won't find ... Read More

This is really interesting. I was just about to jump onboard with Harald's idea, but then I read Julien's message, and Rs 5 a minute is not that bad really. The support issue I think is the biggest problem (what happens if there is a local break-in, ... Read More

Ah, La Vanille sounds great. Never been there but I definitely have to look that one up and go on some arachnoid adventures. Thanks for the tip! Read More

Spot on nerolife, that's the one! Thank you so much for your research. Now it will be easier to find out more info about the little creatures :) Thank you both for your spider stories. I like spiders since they keep the house clean of other, more ... Read More

That's actually the one I was referring to in the previous post. That's the bumpy one. It is per definition shorter, but in reality it takes longer. The Chebel one is more quiet, less bumpy, and a lot faster. I guess it also depends on where in ... Read More

Maybe it is this one; http://beachmap-mauritius.com/beaches/poste-lafayette-pointe-aux-roches/ Either way, there are so many beaches in Mauritius. Some people think that the island is crowded, but there are thousands of remote places on this ... Read More

Hello again Beach Girl. For your information I discovered a faster route today! Instead of going through the bumpy cut through Rose Hill, keep on driving until you hit Gros Cailloux just before Petite Riviere. Turn right and drive through the ... Read More

Thank you both for your replies. I will conduct some more research! I will have to think about that Black River moms group, haha :top: Read More

So 20+20+20 = 60 :) For some obscure reason I was thinking that QB would be the best option, but obviously it isn't ... The time is not really the problem though - it's more the horrible air quality in QB rush hour traffic that kind of puts you ... Read More

Hi there beach girl, You mean the one going to Rose Hill? That makes a lot more sense than driving through QB I suppose, but still, 40 mins sounds like you need to break the law a bit here and there :) Read More

Thanks for your reply! I think Floreal or Beau Bassin is actually kind of the same distance if driving from Tamarin. I was more looking for a private paediatrician resident in Black River, but perhaps I am aiming too high here :) Anyway, thanks a ... Read More

Ouch. Not good for business, though trajectory is pretty straight towards Madagascar so should be a fairly quiet one for Mauritius - if the SE trajectory holds that is. ... It's all relative of course, but we're not going to see a lot of sun for ... Read More
