Day 2: Mahe Island

Today, proceed for a city tour which begins with a transfer from the hotel for a stop in the colonial centre of “the world’s smallest capital”, Victoria. Highlights to visit are the court buildings, museum, post office, Clock‐tower [twin of the one outside London’s Victoria Station]. A turn around the corner takes one to the ‘Codevar’ building where local crafts, including the renowned Kreol or [Creole Gold] are on display for sale. A walk across Albert Street leads one to the focal point of the town, its colourful market where stalls of fresh fish, tropical fruits & vegetables, herbs & spices, are displayed. This is followed by a drive across the Sans Soucis mountain pass, with a photo stop at the historical Mission Lodge, en‐route to a Creole restaurant for lunch. After lunch, the tour continues around the southern tip of the island to the restored colonial plantation of ‘Jardin du Roi’, which is steeped in the short history of the Creoles as well as the Georges family, whose family tree apparently carries a link to Louis XVII of France. A cold drink of home‐grown fruit welcomes visitors, before they tour the surrounding plantation of vegetables, exotic fruits, herbs and spices. Stop at the Craft Village on the way back to the hotel.
