How far did I travel this week?:

I can only go so far on this tiny island, but I've been all over the place this week! I've nearly circled the entire island, and even took a boat to a neighboring island!"

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

Not much farther than last week. I am so far out into the ocean! It's really crazy to think about! I'm surprised every time I see an airplane in the sky. Random fact: Scientists recently discovered a lost continent under Mauritius! They also say that gravity is higher here than anywhere else in the world. How strange!

How did I get around this week?:

I got around all right using my car, but the traffic was pretty bad all week. What is normally a ten-minute drive took about 30 minutes. I think it is partially because this is the most popular time of year for tourists to visit the island. 

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Ilot Bernaches was a beautiful place to visit! The island of Mauritius is surrounded by many tiny islands — yes, they're even tinier than this one! Some of them are little more than a beach. Ilot Bernaches made for a wonderful day in shallow, calm water.
