Long time ago, things were built to last and that too without modern tools. Impressive!

Cool museum, Im visiting my family in December so I will definitely visit this. I remember a long while back you made a video on a second hand flee market somewhere, I need some bits and bobs, where abouts was it please?, Im also looking to buy a used mountain bike, nothing fancy something in the region of 5000 MUR any ideas where I could get one? Thanks

Try the market in Flacq or Quatre Bornes. For bikes have a look at Facebook: bicycle market Mauritius. Rs10k is a more realistic price though. 😃

Another great video Lucy, thanks. I wonder if any of the soldiers or the officers died and were buried locally? Would be interesting to find out.
