We decide to alternately spend one day chilling at the house
and one day exploring. Today is an exploring day and off to an early start to
drive to the official capital, Curepipe.
We have been told that the market is excellent, but to be frank it’s a bit like a cheaper version of Camden Lock – admittedly with an impressive fresh tuna stall. There is, however, an amazing café called the Cup and Cake which is hard to leave!

We decide to head to the tea factory
– Bois Cherie. However, we arrive too late for the tour and agree to return on
our next explorer morning (which we never do…).
We also visit an old colonial manor
house – impressive in its way.
Then we drive to Rochester Falls – which is great
fun to get to. The road is initially very rocky and then turns into a sugar
cane field (which has been harvested). The falls are beautiful and the locals are
enjoying themselves swimming around in the pool at the bottom and impressing
people by jumping and diving from the top and from halfway down. Scary to
watch, but probably even scarier to do!
