Day 40 - Gran Baie to Mahebourg
We reluctantly departed Grand Baie to drive to Mahebourg near the airport as we had a flight the next day to Reunión.
We took the coastal road along the eastern side of the island, finding it less developed than where we'd been, so less resorts and more natural looking beaches, many of which were empty.
We stopped at another Hindu temple at Sagar Shiv Mandir, this one was right on the water and much smaller than the one we'd seen a few days ago. We witnessed what we think was filming for a music video, where a middle aged Indian looking woman in traditional garb mimed a song with other dressed up men and woman standing nearby. The song didn't sound that great, but I guess we're not the target market!
We stopped for lunch at a nice restaurant just outside Trou d'Eau Douce, which seemed quite busy given the location, but we worked out that we were very close to the point where you could a boat to Ile Aux Cerfs, an island famous for it's beaches and golf course, which might have been worth a visit if we'd had more time.
We made it to Mahebourg by around 3pm, visiting the waterfront before checking in to our Airbnb.
