A few words about this little-known corner of Mauritius and yet to be discovered…<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy an afternoon mountain bike ride with your family in Midlands Dam, Mauritius. Let\u2019s start by saying a few words about this little-known corner of Mauritius<\/a> and yet to be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Midlands Dam is a reservoir that is supplied by rainwater as well as by the rivers and streams that flow into it, as is the case for the other reservoirs in Mauritius.  It was built in 2003 in the central part of the island, one of the wettest, to provide water to the districts of northern Mauritius.
Its particularity lies in the fact that the entire top of the dam is paved, and this makes it easy to walk or cycle around<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were keen to explain to the children the importance of not wasting water<\/em> which flows from our taps.  It was equally important for them to understand how all this works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently our dams are well below what they should contain at this time of year as the Mauritian winter was particularly dry. Hopefully the summer rainfalls will be abundant, but we don\u2019t want a flood, as it is often the case in our tropical island of Mauritius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c mari nissa”<\/strong> <\/em>would say my boys in Mauritian slang. In English it means “super nice<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sporting adventure for the whole family, an unusual discovery of our Mauritius Island <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The weather was frankly not very fine this afternoon but that didn’t spoil our family mountain bike trip<\/strong>. When we talk about Mauritius, it is obviously the beaches that come to mind, but for us who live there, we like to diversify our experiences from time to time. It was still a surprise for the boys when we announced that this time we were going to visit the Midlands Dam<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
