Hello,
I appreciate there are lots of posts to some of my questions here in the forum, but perhaps one of these questions might be easy for someone to answer...
I'm about to take a job in Mauritius starting in September, 2010. My wife and i will have our first baby by July so will be arriving in Mauritius with a 6 week old in tow.
the job will be based in Le Morne, but we are planning to live in Tamarin or Flic en Flac as we were told that this would be better with a baby and my wife not working. Any thoughts on this? Which area is better? We want to be near supermarkets, restaurants, etc and also in a picturesque setting.
I gather from the wall posts, that going via an estate agency is madness? We are really looking for 3 bed house unfurniched with pool, parking, modern kitchen/bathroom. How much should we budget for this in either Tamarin or Flic en Flac?
How are the supermarkets in Tamarin? We don't expect to find everything we get at home, but fresh milk is important...
What about driving licences? I have a full Irish driving licence, but i don't know if it's an international one?
I'd also like to buy/ride a scooter - how much would one of these cost to buy? Even second hand is fine.
As we will have a new born, baby products, furniture is going to be important. Any good recommendations for baby furniture/ equipment stores?
I'd also like to join a tennis club near to where we will be living, but i can't find one online?
That's about it for now at this stage. Any advice to the above would be helpful...
Thanks
Ronan
