Trou Aux Cerfs Mauritius (It's a volcano)

Описание: We explore the volcanic crater and the surrounding area. Including the perfect baker, an awesome vegetable shop, the De Chazel house, the Eiffel tower, and a sneak peek at the Botanical gardens. We even tried our hand at some Geocaching. It is a great day out.

Trou Aux Cerfs in Curepipe is an extinct volcano, which means The Deer Hole. The sides were a lot steeper than it looks and it is full of vegetation. It was once home to a sugar cane botanist that had a vineyard and they use to make wine in the caldera. It is now home to the doppler radar station. It has some of the best views I have ever seen in Mauritius. We got the earth cache but couldn't find the box on our Geocaching around the volcano.

At the base of the volcano, there is one of the best vegetable grocers I have seen outside of the markets. It is a great concept that is part of the reduction of plastics. Across the road is the best bread bakery, we didn't get any bread, as they had just sold out and the new bread was still in the oven, but we did get some small chicken pies. They were fantastic. Small bite-size pastries, flaky and buttery, with a full chicken, flavoured filling, a great on the move snack.

The Botanical gardens were closed as was the Dodo Club, but the beautiful old De Chazel house was open. It is now a shop that sells carpet, jewelry, trinkets, and cashmere stuff. The great thing about the shop is that they are helping to preserve the house in its former glory. They even have an Eiffel Tower in the back garden that is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

The whole area is worth a visit.
