What’s the experience like?

I spotted my name on a board before I even cleared the glass doors at Mauritius airport — which was weirdly comforting after that long flight. The guy holding it (Rajesh, he said) gave me a quick nod and this half-smile, like he knew I’d be exhausted. He waited right near Exit Gate 7, just like the email said. I’m not sure why but seeing someone waiting just for you in a place you’ve never been — it’s a small relief you don’t realize you need until it happens.

The air outside was thick and sweet, that mix of sea and something floral I couldn’t place. Rajesh took my bag (he was careful with the handle, which is more than I can say for Heathrow baggage handlers) and led me to his minivan. It was spotless inside — cold air blasting, which felt like heaven — and there were these little hints of vanilla from one of those dashboard trees. He asked if I wanted music or quiet. Honestly? Quiet won. I think we both needed it at that hour.

He pointed out a few things as we drove — sugarcane fields, a bakery where “the best gateaux piments” are made (I butchered the pronunciation; Rajesh laughed). The roads were smooth and empty since it was late, but he said they run these transfers all day and night. Eight bags would fit in the back easily, apparently (I only had two but appreciated the optimism). By the time we pulled up to my hotel, I felt more awake than when we started — maybe just grateful not to have to figure out taxis or haggle after landing. The island lights looked softer through the window than I expected. It’s funny how much those first minutes shape your mood for a whole trip.
