First day trip out of the hotel...we visited the capital city Port Louis and saw the British fortress Fort Adelaide, the waterfront shopping center Caudan Waterfront & their Casino...bought some souvenirs there. Then we visited the national botanic gdn Pamplemousses Botanical Garden...nothing much to see here..we saw that our former president Nathan planted a coffee tree few mths before the election date hehe...
