      Stray animals aren’t for everyone they only came up to us as we love animals and we entice them near us 😍, a lot of the hotels have stray animals not loads and loads like just the odd here and there we probably just made it look like there a lots but you don’t have to worry 🙂.

    Good morning elle and James.can you stay on any part of the island. I love animals like the look of feeding giant tortuise was just wondering if easy to do day trips,from any part of the island.have a lovely Sunday

    • @JamesandElliesAdventures
      @JamesandElliesAdventures  Рік тому

      Yes you tend to stay on the coast (north, east, south or west) but it’s very easy to do day trips from anywhere on the island. If you didn’t fancy hiring a car like we did then the best way is to hire a taxi driver for the day (not expensive) and they will take you where ever you want or they can even suggest an itinerary for you :)
      Would definitely recommend Mauritius. Thank you for watching and your comment 🥰

So funny how fast you was having to shop at bath & body haha, Ellie smelling as many candles as she could as you had to rush, getting 3 free was ace though! James trying that egg was hilarious 😂 some plane food is just not good at all haha! Can’t believe how beautiful the Mauritius looks and the hotel grounds look so lovely!

    Always makes me chuckle when you say you’ve hit the jackpot if no one is in the aisle seat! We were always the same! 😂🙈
    A great tip I was given years ago, if you book the window and aisle seat, unless the flight is super busy the middle seat is unlikely to be taken. It worked really well for us most times and if anyone did ever book the middle seat they were always happy to swap to the aisle anyway so you haven’t lost anything! ☺️

      We’ve tried doing the seats like that but the system has a hissy fit and doesn’t let us 🫣 so we give up.
