QM2 arrived at Reunion at around 06.00hrs. I was awake shortly afterwards, ready for the all too brief Scenes of Reunion shore excursion. We were taken 7,000ft to the crater of THE CIRCLE OF MAFATE, totally surrounded by steep dramatic mountains, with minimal cloud below to obscure the dramatic view, just partially. Unfortunately, I took those pictures on my main camera, the one bought in Tenerife at the beginning of this voyage. However, we went on to visit a most attractive Geranium Oil Distillery where I did take a few pictures on my phone.
Even at that level, the temperature was nudging into the 30s Centigrade. We arrived back of the ship 4.5 hours later, not quite in time to join the afternoon excursion, an afterthought which might have been quite nice.
Tomorrow, we spend the day at our 7th port of call, Mauritius.
More news later.
