Sugar Beach Resort – One of those Sunset which makes you realize how lucky you are.
Olivier still think we were in Martinique … but it was pretty far. It has only been 1 month since we are back at work, but it feel much much farther away, so being late with a few pictures is a good reminder of the fantastic 12 days we had with the Samberger’s family in this little paradise, Mauritius.
Needless to say Olivier and Chiara were all over, were nothing but swimming gear, light dresses for almost two weeks. Between excursions and chilling out in the hotel they enjoyed every moment of it. We did as well.
We bought a Panasonic TG3 for the trip – which was meant to allow us to lend it to children (it’s resistant), bring it to the beach and take underwater pictures. As you can see below, the quality was under par – and it also came out wet inside from the trip …. so we returned it. It won’t be difficult to find out which pictures are taken with our Canon 5D Mk III vs the compact Panasonic. Unfair comparison obviously.
Lunch with a view – holidays
Swimming pool inside swimming pool. Apologies more than slightly retouched HDR picture – but otherwise it was all black
Postcard picture of the trip. This was the “adult-only” pool of the resort, so we were mostly sneaking in at night to the delight of Chiara to do something forbidden.
One of our trip was at a local park where we could feed animals – a first for Chiara
Slightly different perspective of the otherwise very classic Pamplemousses Botanical Garden
Our digger at night, give a boy a tool and you get a hole.
On the few days where the kids do as they want … they stayed the whole day in the pool. This one was taken under heavy-rain.
Amateur photographer Niko is taking control for this pretty well captured family shot !
Try to guess who loves the rain and who does not.
Icecream in pool – paradise.
Our diver in action
This is the view from our room, a big change from London no ?
Olivier likes turtoises. Most kids do. They move more slowly than them, so they feel safe. This one was even safer as it was sleeping …
On our bats watching excursion, Chiara had the choice to be carried on my back above the river, or cross it and wet her walking boots. She did not hesitate long.
