Mauritius tip top tips - ?

Pip1968 · 24-01-2012, 11:29 AM

Well I am off to Mauritius next week (yes I know, I know cyclones) courtesy of my wife - she booked it, I paid! I am just looking for some tip tops tips ie best place to exchange money at a good rate, any particular spots that are a must to see etc.

I am thinking of getting a new Rolex there but was wondering whether Dubai (at the airport) or the island will be best priced.

I will be snorkelling and may do my PADI.

It's been 10 (looooong

) years since I was there. Best thing we did (other than get married, of course!) was go deep sea fishing. The sight of a Marlin atomising through the water into the air brought me out from the bottom of the toilet to a new lease of life!

And found out I didn't actually suffer from sea sickness.. just brandy-the-night-before-sickness

don't get a rolex! they're old fashioned and gay

Get a Panerai or an IWC

Barryb C, too late I am afraid. I have two already and just want to get a newer version of the Sea Dweller and sell my old one.

Black dial, 8 years old with date and serviced last 2010/1 if anyone is interested.

Anyway gay is apparently 'cool' these days, metrosexual at least.
