Mauritius - Cycling trip from Grand Baie to Trou dEau Douce - Cute puppies inside Cottage Village Image by Isla-Mauricia This is our cycling trip performed on the 9th of January 2013 where we cycled from Grand Baie, located in the north of Mauritius to the eastern village Trou dEau Douce. On our way to Trou dEau Douce we cycled more through inland villages such as Sottise, Forbach, Cottage, Lesperance Trebuchet, Riviere du Rempart, Centre de Flacq, Schoenfeld, Quatre Cocos, Palmar and Trou dEau Douce. On our way back we cycled along the coast going through villages such as Belle Mare, Bradeau, Roches Noires and then back inland using the Goodlands bypass road to get back to Grand Baie. I was amazed to see the inland beauty of many villages. One of my favorites is Palmar reminding me of Rodrigues island setting and also that stretch of road through Constance La Gaiete which then ends in Trou dEau Douce. When I saw those places i was saying to myself, living in such places of such beauty is one of many reasons why many actually never leave their villages to go and stay elsewhere! Also I wish to express that I found it the best way to see various places on a bicycle instead than in using a car - if you want to take your time, stop anywhere, take a shot, thats way more practical. No need to look for a parking! We had a great time exploring these places, we were for 12 hours on the road and did 87 Kilometres. The Mine Frire lunch and sea view at Trou dEau Douce at Chez Tino restaurant was awesome and gave us the energy required to cycle back home. Houses at Trou dEau Douce have such a magnificent view over the lagoon looking on Ile aux Cerfs! A stop at Belle Mare was relaxing. Enjoy our photo story where we take you through our journey of discovering the paradise tropical island Mauritius! -on a side note youll also see that right in the beginning of our trip one of our friends had a flat tire which we got fixed in the cottage suburb - helpful people everywhere to give you indications. If you want to do such a cycling trip i recommend that you bring along suncream, lots of water! You will also find lots of La Boutique (small shops) where you can buy drinks. An Energade as spare power drink can do some good.
