Week 2. From Hotel to Tamarin Bay Flat.

So far, we have been in Mauritius for a week. We spent the first week at the Veranda Hotel that was really luxurious. Madagascar is not going to be like that. It is very poor. But Mum and Dad are making it easy for me and Lydia to settle in, so that it is not too much of a shock changing countries. The place where we are going to live in Madagascar is not ready till October 11th, so we're staying in Mauritius till then. We have just moved from the hotel to a flat for this week and will stay in another flat next week too. The owners, here have 2 really cute dogs, that love to be hugged and love to play.They have an 11 year old daughter called  Alise who speaks good English. Most people out here speak French and English.

 Outside is a lovely garden with a swing and sand pit. The bad news is, that there are loads of ants and mosquitoes roaming around looking for breakfast and every night at least one frog manages to get in, looking for ants and mosquitoes. Yuk.

 I really like Mauritius. We have seen loads of different birds and geckos -amazing colours. Dolphins come into the bay here, every morning at 6am but we haven't seen any yet because we haven't got up early enough!

We still have to do 3 hours of home school every morning but I am getting through a lot of work and it is O.K. not as many hours as the Priory School! Mum and dad aren't too bad at teaching! I'll write some more next week. Bye for now!
