How to eat breakfast

"How to eat breakfast" in hotel was changed from last week.


Until last week, I had cooked the food (bread, egg, etc.) in the kitchen of the hotel by myself and eaten.

But now, a breakfast is supplied by small restaurant "Padma Deli".

This small restaurant was opened by a manager of the hotel "Residence Padma" where I am staying in, therefore the name is "Padma Deli".


It is convenient for me that I can eat breakfast at the restaurant near the hotel.

However, because the manager often oversleep it is problem that a restaurant often closes!

....... In the yesterday morning,
....... because there was no other way I took him to the restaurant by my car!

Walk at the time of sunset

It is charming to take a walk in the Mauritian beach at the time of sunset.


Before sunset of Sunday, most boats return to the beach


At the time of sunset, there are a lot of people enjoying to walk in the beach.





....... Though it has noting to do with a sunset,
....... Today's lunch was Buriani which I bought with the food wagon near the hotel.


"Buriani" is always delicious without depending on a shop and food wagon.
On the other hand, the attached chili souse is different every shop.
This chili souse was fruity and tasty, probably a berry was included in a chili souse.
