We all know that Mauritius is an expensive destination, but when you get there and start to explore the island, you start to encounter people, you have chats with locals, they give you pieces of advice, and you realise that it’s not as expensive as you thought, and it’s actually a pretty nice island.

We drink specialty coffee at:
- Drink Kind Coffee Shop, La Gaulette. They have coffee beans from Bluebird Coffee Roastery in South Africa
- Jiva Coffee and Roastery, La Preneuse. They are roasting their own beans, and they are doing an amazing job.
- Coffee Shore, Tamarin Bay. They have coffee beans from Jiva.
- Passion Coffee, Grand Baie. They had coffee beans from Kuumba, a local roastery, but I think they upgraded to Bluebird. For non-espresso, they had it from Speicherstadt Kaffeerosterei in Hamburg.

Sometimes, we ate meals, especially breakfast and dinner, at home. We bought vegetables, greens, eggs, yoghurt, bread, and cheese from the supermarket and prepared them in the apartment.
