Mauritius Souvenirs
Souvenirs:
Coming back from a holiday without a souvenir? Impossible!
It’s like you were not there…
But for sure not anything; it should be something very typical. So,
what could you bring from Mauritius?
Once here you will see it everywhere you go. Although it’s dead,
it looks to you from every corner: the dodo. There is nothing more typical
for Mauritius than this extinguished bird: on T-shirts, in wood, in
metal... in every size and every color! You can not miss it.
Are you interested in boats? There are a couple of ship-model factories
in Mauritius (one of the best ones: historic marine in Goodlands). See
how they work, visit the factory and choose in the show-rooms. All handmade
ships in wood are created after original plans.
They pack the boats pretty good for the journey home, but sometimes
the airline is charging you excess-luggage.
Your purse is a little larger? Buy duty-free gold or diamonds in one
of the shops in Floreal, Port Louis or Grand Bay. Why not a little dodo
in gold?
For a smaller purse there is still a good bottle of local rum…
