- What a place! So much of everything in this unexpected town. History, markets, foods, streets, loads of traffic and friendly people. That dam wall, I mean dyke, is a real must-visit.

4:16 The solar plant
5:32 Why am I so bad at thumbnails!
5:50 Really narrow stairs
6:36 Eglise St. Sauveur Bambous (it's father Laval's church)
9:09 The story of how the church that father Laval built got built.
10:05 I mention my friends from school. (Well, their family names)
11:10 Maybe the house of Désirée Mée

24:47 B-roll from the car
25:10 The machine a villain would use on James Bond
25:52 Starting to look more like Star Wars
26:01 Riki telling us about Medine, the estate not the sugar mill.
26:22 I talk about a big wheel from Glasgow
27:11 I say Glasgow in a Glaswegian accent so it sounds a bit like 'let's go!'
27:39 Aquafresh. Does it all in one, mum.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for showing us the beautiful small town of Bambous. That side of Mauritius is supposed to be drier since it is on the lee-side from the prevailing winds. The bread you ate is actually farata, it is thicker and crispier than roti and more time consuming to make. This used to be the bread locals ate in the villages long time back. It is lucky you seem to get it in the small towns. The town seems empty and the shops semi-closed. Fun fact about villages and small town during the weekdays between 9 am to 3 pm: they are dead with hardly any movements as most people are working or studying in the nearby bigger towns.
Thanks for the info. I though it was a big roti, but now it makes more sense.
I love that in your videos you actually cover the whole place you are shooting even the tiny little streets etc..! Great video can't wait for the next one! 😁
Thanks, we will see you soon.
OMG, what a joy to see my parents hometown. Never knew it was that big. I love Babous. The most amazing sight is where you are at the beginning of your video, the main road with the trees. Yes, the farmers market is sad. It could have been a good economic help for the local. Only if people knew or trained and see how farmer's market bring so much money elsewhere in the world (in my case, in Brooklyn, NY) U.S.A. . If the District Council of Black River would invest a bit more, the inhabitant of this village could get a better life (as the one in the north). In any case, thanks for sharing, I'm going now to download all my videos of Mauritius as well-:))) Glad to see non-Mauritian coming to Bambous and walking the streets.
You are welcome, it is a great village
Every Well thank you very much continue
So nice of you. Thank you
We Mauritian, mostly all of us only know the street where we live, our schools or colleges, working place and may be some beaches.. 😂😂. Never knew Bambou is such an amazing place to visit.
It is great
As you promise me you come to bambous thanks for coming such a lovely place
It is a great place
I saw solar panels farm in Belair, wind turbines on the north east, near Riviere du Rempart, Roches Noires, Bellevue Maurel - was quite spectacular and impressive - didn't know that they has solar farm at Bambous! Way to go Mauritius!
Bambous was a surprise on the solar, but those wind turbines are huge.
@@BryanDiscoversWorld Yes they are huge and they do power quite a few houses and hotels in the area!
Hi Bryan & Riki,
Thank you for another great informative video. Reflecting on the sugar cane industry, it would be great to learn about the history of rum production in Mauritius ? Perhaps a tour of a rum distillery ? Cheers Peter J from Melbourne
Hopefully getting to one this weekend
Great suggestion! I will convince Riki we need to do a full investigation into rum.
Great news :-))
We've not been to Bambous. Looks nice. Hope they get the church finished soon. Thanks guys.
It is worth the visit, not sure on how long the church will take.
Thanks for showing the small town Bambous, its always exciting to see this town even though I have never been there. The town may be compact but it looks fine and developing along the lines of the other sister towns inm Mauritius. Its superb with the traditional shops and boutiques and the local friendly population. Excellent reporting, regards.
Glad you enjoyed it, I was surprised how nice it turned out to be.
La Ferme réservoir is located at one of the driest places in Mauritius. It used to be a nice fishing spot
I did see a group of people further down fishing, but it looked like most were fishing at the smaller Medine dams.
Beautiful video as always. that road where you started the montage, you should go there in december. The trees a called flamboyants, and they bloom in december. this road looks heavenly during that time.
Sounds amazing, will definitely revisit. I love flamboyants
Sounds great! and there were a lot of them
Oooh yay 😍
Thanks
love your passion for the food......very infectious
😊 thank you
When you are a first timer visiting the reservoir, the view is actually gorgeous but then you get used to it.
It really is
Hello guys , thanks for some pretty nice shots from bamboo medine ,never been there myself even i am from Mauritius.I am from Beau-Vallon not far from Mahebourg, but i live abroad for 25yrs now. I saw you did a video on Mahebourg and you were at Blue-beach,very nice beach with a lot of good memories:)
Our pleasure! We enjoyed Mahebourg and Blue Bay.
😊😊😊
Thanks😁😁
The reason why there are lots of statues of animals in temples is to remind people that animals are important for the ecosystem.
ok, thanks for the info
This is where I live near of United basal
We drove near there. but didn't do much video
Gate blocking the view to the solar panels, no worries lemme get my drone on a stick and record it.
Nice video though.
Haha, thanks
Why the peacocks don't have their feathers?
