The Purple shall rule! Sandeep chooses Mauritius for a honeymoon: "Mauritius beaches are sort of like Goa beaches sans the people :) . Everywhere we went it was desolated. Only people we would see were European families on vaccation or Indian couples on Honeymoon... Mauritius has pretty much everything from hills to plains to greenery to beaches. The best part was the Ile Aux cerfs tour in which we did speed boat ride, parasailing and Under sea walk."
