Today we're docked in St. Denis which is the capital city of Réunion Island, a French department in the Indian Ocean. There was a shower as we pulled into port resulting in a beautiful double rainbow.
Today we went on one of the ship's tours. Our first stop was at a private vanilla plantation.
Then we went to see the numerous waterfalls of Salazie. The beauty of this island is 'off the charts' and the photos don't do it justice. Every minute there was another view that took your breath away. The volcanic peaks come straight down to the road and waterfalls are everywhere. We took a curvy road up to the cute village of Hellbourg where we had lunch. After lunch we went into St. Denis to check out the local market and some of the shops. Fabulous day!

Winding roads everywhere! |
This is the main road where you can see how the volcanic peaks come straight down to the edge of the road. |
Photo taken at the restaurant after we had lunch. |
There were lots of spiders on the island. None were poisonous but they were big and pretty scary looking! |
