In July I went once more to the Indian Ocean. The last months I was working in the pharmacy, doing a lot of rehabilitation for my broken ankle, so I need to reload my batteries a bit before the next upcoming knee operation....
I could spent time on the water, but really carefully and far away from my 100%, so I decided to travel to Reunion and visit some good friends over there.
Reunion is totally different from Mauritius. It belongs to FRance and the EU and therefore everything is pretty Europe like, busy and expensive.
But the landscape is marvellous!! We did a lot of hiking,- to the Vulcano- the most active one in the world. Last eruption 2004. Some more hikes in the " cirque de Salazie" and "Cirque de Mafate".
For surfing you find a lot of spots, mostly unfortunately crowded and besides that there is a big shark problem on Reunion. But they are really good and working nearly every day!! The windsurfspots like " Ravine blanche", Point du Sel, St. Leu, etc...are a bit hardcore, rocks everywhere...Unfortunately I didn´t see them working as there was no wind.
I spent one week there and that time was hardly enough to see everything.
In Mauritius a had some good surfing days in Tamarin, some easy kting and windsurfing. One good day in One Eye....the smooth, clean wave in One eye was still the best for me foot.... ;-)
So I got some energy for my LASt knee operation.....
I really hope all is going to be fine!!
HAve a nice summer!

Vulcano " Piton de la Fournaise"

Some nice surfing sessions at " les trois bassins"
Three days after I surfed this spot " St. Gilles" once more a shark attack happened there- this time fortunately nothing serious happened..
