After that we were brought to a side of the hill where we could take pictures of buildings from a higher place.
Next, we went to one of our buddy's school from St marie college, Nathalie's, home. It was a public holiday called ugadi/ougadi which means a new year for the indians at mauritius. Which is why students do not need to go to school. We were shown around her house and this is how a typical mauritius house looks like.

Afterwards before heading to the airport, we were brought to a public beach. It really amazes us when many people were having so much fun with their family. Tents were put up everywhere, and seeing kids having fun in the water made us felt really great. Although there were many people there, the water is surprisingly clean too! It was a big difference compared to Singapore.

the beach was filled with the warmness of the setting sun and happiness of the families there.
Soon, it was time to head to the airport and back to Singapore. Everyone left with a heavy heart and couldn't bear to part with Mauritius. It was definitely a enjoyable and awesome trip. We've all learnt to be much more disciplined and independent through this trip. We'll never ever forget this trip. Thank you teachers who guided us along the trip and brought us to a beautiful country like Mauritius!

WE LOVE MAURITIUS!
