Happy Birthday Wayne!!
Today, we pulled ourselves away from the resort life, and hired a driver to take us for a tour of the island.

Our driver Atma, with us at the Crater Lookout.
Similar to Hawaii, the Island of Mauritius was formed from volcanoes millions of years ago. |

Suzie & Noah in front of soft Gum trees. These trees felt a lot like cork.
If you pressed your finger into the tree, it would leave a depression in the wood. |
