5th and 6th December 2022 Mauritius, to meet up with Jason, Vicky and the menagerie.
Dave Rolfs kindly took us to Stansted Airport for our flight to Mauritius, via Dubai with Emirates which took off 30 minutes late. This made us quite nervous as our transit time in Dubai was only one and a half hours between landing, getting off the plane, finding out where we should go and taking off again. The flight time was six and a half hours for the first leg and 6 hours for the second. Fortunately we managed to find the transit bus quite easily but it seemed to take us under the whole of Dubai airport before we arrived at Terminal C. We made it to the gate by the skin of our teeth which meant “ not much room in the overhead lockers” as the bulk of the passengers were already on board.
The luggage managed to survive and we had no problems getting through all our security checks. It was great to have Jason greet us in the lounge area and we headed to our “home” for the next two weeks.
It was lovely to meet Vicky again, their dog, cats and bird when we arrived at their large rented property. We were very tired so took a lay down for a couple of hours before becoming sociable again. It was a necessary relaxing day with Jas and Vicky buying a Christmas tree to make us all feel festive. Vicky cooked dinner and we watched Morocco amazingly beat Spain in the Football World Cup before going to bed at 10pm Mauritius time.
