    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. 😃
