Mauritius kind of came to be

So Mauritius did actually happen but only for a span of four hours and I spent most of that time hanging out with friends and of course shopping. The place is positively beautiful and has a rich mix of Indian and African heritages. The waterfront is fairly large though not as large and expansive as the one in Cape Town. I wish I could have stayed long enough to learn more about this place but we only learned about  its rich culture and it's democratic society. I did get a chance to talk to some of the people who asked about SAS and how long the ship would be here. Overall it was a nice stop and a nice break from the craziness of the midterms and everything. I only have a couple pictures to post for this and that is pretty much it. Nothing more to comment about it.

We got off in Mauritius the day after we were supposed to be there. We were supposed to be there March 6^th but instead we got off March 7^th since we came in so late on the 6^th So for March 6^th, the ship planned the following activities for us. (side Note: Times are in military times so anything after 12pm, you just subtract the 12 hours from to get the pm time up until 2359 or 11:59pm, after that it starts over at 0000 = 12am. Ex 1pm = 1300, 2pm=1400 and so on.)
