Mauritius cheap? Go then!

In the morning, on the porch, a bast basket with a fresh baguette and hot coffee, a horse grazing in front of my nose, the view goes into the green valley. How about one of these luxury hotels with marble lobby and service around the clock?

Presumably, Prince Harry would snatch the last chaise from the pool. So I praise my little country hotel in the mountains; the Mauritian answer to the German Ponyhof. A little jam on the baguette and feet up! In the afternoon I ride through man-high cane, in the evening I sit with a Gals wine by the campfire, and tomorrow ...? Yeah, tomorrow I might go to the beach ... But maybe only.

info: One night in "La vieille cheminée" costs 90 euros / double; You can ride for 35 euros (two hours). More information at www.lavieillecheminee.com.
