A couple of days ago I came back from Accra, which I swapped into to avoid flying with a guy who shall remain nameless. Anyway on the flight from DXB I was really pumped, keen to have a good time and to get a good taste of West African culture. Had a snooze for an hour or so after reaching the hotel and woke up feeling horrible! Muscles were sore and aching so badly, headache, sore throat, all classic flu symptoms. Was bedridden for 2 days and ate nothing but buffet breakfast (which was free) and fruit. Did the turnaround to ABJ still feeling crook but since it was only 44min there and 43 min back it didn't even feel like work. Flight back to Dubai could not have come soon enough, saved all my Advil for it and managed to make a killing in Duty Free. Stocktake sales here I come :-)

Anyways, was on a Mauritius layover recently, and the airline cruelly only let us stay for 16 hours. So here are the beaches that were outside our hotel rooms.
