Bringing sweets and pencils. I felt like the embodiment of commercial corruption. The headgear was among the presents, and also, I usually wear contact lenses, but in dusty Africa it's glasses.
Moving on to Mauritius - breakfeast in Le Paradis ("and well it deserves that name"):
As is obvious here. Where we spent the rest of our vacation:
Next: The crossover!
