Journey to Mauritius...

We had our flight from Bangalore International Airport at 6:30pm. We reached the airport by 4:00pm and started waiting to board the flight after completing all the formalities at the air port. It was a flight of Emirates Airlines and started from Bangalore on time.
Since it was a stopover flight, first we reach to Dubai. It reached Dubai at 9:00pm (Local time). Our second flight was at 2:30 am. It was a long time to wait and the airport was big enough to spend this time easily. We had a plan to reach our terminal first and then to have a visit of the Dubai airport.
Dubai airport… God it’s too big and very beautiful. Even a smallest thing here reflects the beauty of the airport and is a part of its beauty. The market inside is known as Duty Free and if full of lights and other gadgets. Duty Free is full of the shops for jewelry, cosmetics, electronics, glass items, watches, tobacco and other fancy items. No doubt shopping here would be a really great experience, may be we’ll have this on the way to home …
Now it was the time for the second flight and after the formalities we were in the plane. We were quite tired of the whole day journey so we slept in the flight after some time. When we awaked up it was morning and we were flying in the sky of Mauritius. When we saw outside we could see small island with a blue see all around and was looking very beautiful. Really it is well said that Mauritius has got a very beautiful skyline. It is really a good experience to see Mauritius from sky and I am sure you’ll find it more beauty full from sky…
Forgot to mention that in this flight when Air Hostess was serving dinner they asked many passengers that if they were Mr. & Mrs. Sharma. We were sitting a bit back side when she came close to us, I smiled and she could understand we were the one she was looking for. Actually on that flight only this couple was vegetarian and she had to struggle to search us and told that was the only veg food available in that flight.
It was 10:00 am when we landed and came out in some 30 minutes after completing all the formalities at airport. A taxi was already waiting for us and we started for our guest house. We were enjoying the natural beauty of Mauritius on the way to the guest house.
A long journey was waiting for us as we had to stay here for a year. Hope this will be a good experience …
