Trip to Mauritius - Part 3........

We arrive for the night at the lovely Veranda Paul and Virginie Hotel which is a lovely boutique hotel on Mauritius North Coast by Grand Gaube. The property had a lovely, romantic feel with friendly staff and spacious rooms. We arrive just in time for a delicious buffet dinner, before a few drinks (or should I saw amazing home grown flavoured rums) at the bar. The following morning awoke to a beautiful blue sky and views of Coin De Mire. After a quick dip in one of the hotels pools headed to breakfast.

After breakfast we checked out and headed East. The coast line and beaches on the East are stunning with crystal blue seas and white sandy beaches.

Beaches on Mauritius East Coast

We stopped of lunch and a spot of free time at the Veranda Palmar Beach Hotel, which is a lovely little resort set on a stunning beach. The hotel offers All Inclusive so you don't need to worry about a thing other than kicking back and doing pretty much nothing. Though it's only a 3* the Veranda Palmar had everything you needed for a great stay with plenty of rooms, good sized rooms and even a spa. We had a fantastic lunch on the beach before taking to a sun lounge for a couple of well earned hours of soaking up the rays.

After a couple of hours well earned sun bathing we headed south down to Bel Ombre.The roads are pretty good in Mauritius so getting around the island is pretty easy and straight forward and many people hire a car, though to be honest when I'm on holiday I like everything done for me!

Domaine de Bel Ombre - http://www.domainedebelombre.mu/ is a 2,500 hectare estate located on the South West of the island. The estate was created in 1765 and is now home to two stunning hotels, amazing private villas, an award winning golf course, Nature Reserve and Le Château fine dining restaurant.

When we arrived we check into the stunning Heritage Le Telfair........

Cruise and stay with Escape Worldwide ⛴🛳

Cruises are amongst the most popular types of holidays at the moment, effortlessly taking you to different destinations throughout your trip - without the need to keep packing & unpacking! Settle in to your ship and wait for the world come to you, ideally with a good book and a gin & tonic. At Escape Worldwide we tend to focus on Cruise & Stay Holidays, with the cruise as part of your trip but with a whole load more included too. Invariably you’ve flown to your departure port, so rather than heading straight from the airport to the port we’ll include a few days to explore the destination - places such as Singapore , New Orleans, Cape Town, and Dubai deserve more time than just passing through. After you’ve disembarked we can take you on to another location to round off your trip - a beach resort, perhaps, or another city. Fly onwards from Singapore to Bali or Phuket , take a train from New Orleans to Memphis, pick up a rental car as you return to Cape Town and hea

Our Top Trips in 2018 - Mark in Australia

We're continuing our look back at our teams travels this week - Mark visited Australia on an epic three-state trip, starting in Sydney, moving to Victoria and driving most of the Queensland Coast in a campervan - here's a quick look at the highlights of his Aussie adventure. . . . Starting in Sydney The first time I visited Australia was 27 years ago as an 18-year old backpacker, but I'm always excited to go back - it's one of the most diverse, incredible countries on the planet. As with many visits Down Under I started in Sydney , which is a very easy city to get to grips with - for me, if you stay anywhere between Central Station and Circular Quay you can't go too far wrong, and it's such as easy place to explore. I stayed right in the middle of Sydney at the Grace Hotel , which has pretty much everything you want to see within a 20 minute walk - I took in the Sydney Tower Eye, Darling Harbour and the amazing Sydney Opera House, all on foot.
