19°43′00″S, 63°25′00″E . Rodrigues Island

If someone ask me, where is the best place I ever went, easily I'll say Rodrigues Island.
Arrive there is just an experience, and be there is a single sensation hard to explain, the Island is 560 k's from Mauritius with just 109 km2, dicovered by the Portuguese navigator Diogo Rodrigues in 1528.

The time stops, and we just dont want to leave ever....is a paradise, almost forgoted from the western world. I did several beaches without find a single soul, and the only expat was an Australian that visit the island since the 70's.

When I went there I rent a small blue Susuki motorbike to a local friend Jovanni, and with a funny green helmet and 125 Azul Trovante, in my Ipood, I start explore all corner of the Island, crossing ravines, rivers, green fields, stopping once in a wile for a fresh Phoenix and eat some samusas our bouchons.
Is common see in the streets our in shops, writed hand boards with:
I forgot my sunglasses here, please call....
I forgot my humbrella here, please give back to Madame ... it works!
Only tree persons live in the prision for minor crimes, and the view from there is a beautifull blue ocean.
I'll return to visit again some friends in Port Mathurin....buy some Zourite, visit Ile aux Cocos ...just feel free from our world....I think that is the best sensation there, you feel like back in time, when everything was pure, people, ocean and earth...

Harry please send some pics from Alasca.
