Visiting a new place is all about new experiences; the different cultures, the exotic cuisines and immersing yourself in the essence of the place. I visited Mauritius for my winter-break and it was abso-frickin-lutely amazing! I love travelling, therefore ticking another place off my list was really exciting for me. The people were warm and welcoming just like the weather and I loved every moment that I was there!
One experience that really stands out however, is getting to the top of an isolated light-house. Initially, I was really hesitant about getting to the top as there were a set of steep winding staircases, a lot of enclosed spaces and my super-clumsy self involved. But after a little persuasion from my family I decided to just go ahead without really thinking about it. I swear, there were times I thought I would pass out because of the heat and such a tight space within the structure and was mentally cursing myself... that was until I got to the top of course.
I kid you not, the view from the top was breathtaking! You know how everyone is always saying that somethings are worth the climb? Yeah, I never understood it (Partly because I would take an elevator to a staircase ANYDAY)... till that moment. There was a carpet of aquamarine and blue for as far as the eye could see and the sun gleaming down on it made everything come alive. It's moments like these that make putting in that extra bit of effort, so totally worth it.
