Our Hostel Room…

Is tiny.

A couple of days in London.

On our first day we did the incredibly tourist-y Westminster Abbey/Big-Ben/Picadilly Circus route while waiting for check-in at the hostel. 

Robyn was highly unimpressed with ‘Big’ Ben.

More Mauritius

This will be the most comfortable place we stay at for 2 months.

Last Day in Mauritius

It was a very wet day. Bouti and Francine came to visit us at Movenpick. We spent the last hours as we waited for transfers to the airport drinking pina coladas at the bar (off to the right of this photo).  

Tristan became obsessed with getting a good photo of this little sparrow high up in the barrel vault. He thinks he succeeded.

Finding the resort far too sanitised and full of europeans, we hired some bikes and went for a ride West along the coast. The bike hire people at the resort were surprised and offended that we didn't want to join the guided bike tour.

Resorts are weird.
