Icon6 Took a little trip last week...

Had an absolutely wonderful time on vacation in Mauritius last week. Gorgeous beaches, incredible food, nice people, etc. Even got to go on my first dive!

The 164 on rubber was along for the ride, so, I thought I'd share a few pix.




Yes, it got wet and sandy.



La Morne....mountain, surroundings and lagoon are a Unesco world heritage site.



Not the worst view from our balcony.



Even though it meant the end of beach fun, the sunsets were a welcome sight.



Who cares how badly you play with this view?



First dive for me and the 164.



Cheers!!




Thanks for looking.

I've stayed at the Maradiva and the One and Only there. I preferred the Maradiva. Did you golf at Le Touessrok?

OEM rubber is the only way to go with Panerai, hot weather and the sea
