I will travel to Mauritius with a friend in August! Is there anything to pay attention to and prepare for your first trip abroad?

Mauritius has a subtropical maritime climate. The whole year is divided into two seasons: summer and winter. The summer is 165438+ 10 to April of the following year. May to 10 is winter (cool season), and the average coastal temperature is 24C.

Mauritius has warm and fresh air and abundant rainfall. After the shower, it is often replaced by bright sunshine.

You have to be with the sun, the sea and the beach every day, so you must wear sunscreen. A big straw hat and wide-brimmed sunglasses are essential things, and sunscreen must be above SPF 40. Casual casual clothes are common clothes, and T-shirts and cotton-padded jacket are the most suitable ones.

Language: English is the official language. Most people speak Creole in daily life, and French is also widely used.

Water:

Tap water in Mauritius hotels can't be drunk directly. Hotels generally do not have free hot water supply. If you need to make hot tea, please bring your own electric cup. If the guest requests the hotel to provide it, the hotel may charge a fee. Guests are advised to buy mineral water to drink.

Shopping:

Friends who want to shop can go to the central market in downtown Port Louis. Mauritius's handicrafts are quite good, especially wooden sailboats, which are exquisite in workmanship and are the best home furnishings. In addition, local leather products have African characteristics. After the tour, you can continue to visit the nearby Chinatown.

In almost all places where handicrafts and souvenirs are sold in Mauritius, you can see a souvenir like a big fat duck, which is made of grass, carved with wood and printed on postcards and T-shirts. This is a paunchy bird made in Mauritius. It can't fly and moves slowly. In the early years, the Dutch found that the big-bellied birds were delicious and the eggs were delicious, so they hunted hard and ate together. Finally, around 1692, the last belly bird was eaten, and this clumsy and docile big bird disappeared from the earth.
