On Saturday night, we did the ultimate tourist thing of going to the Blue Lagoon Hotel, having their Mauritian buffet and watching the sega show afterwards.
Sega is the traditional dance of the Mauritian creoles, with a fast drum beat played on a flat drum accompanied by a rattly kind of instrument (forgotten the name). It's a very sexy dance, with a lot of hip movement and suggestive grinding motions. With the colourful costumes they wore, it reminded me of a beautiful mating dance of birds...
Then the dancers invited the audience to try their hand at the sega, so mum and I took to the dance floor and had lots of fun!
