Satisfied with the flora of the Pamplemousses Botanical garden, the three continued their road-hitting activities. Along the way Tina noticed temples, some are very colorful with statues sculpted on them and some are simply turmeric-yellow or
vermilion color, so she commented that the majority of the island must be Hindus. Maribelle confirmed her opinion and she said very soon there would be the
Thaipoosam Cavadee, celebrated by the
Tamoul or Tamil sect or group or whatever it may be called. There would be processions in many parts of the island. Chandni looked around her and she exclaimed that no wonder she'd been hearing back home that this island is called "Little India" by the Indian community.
Tina asked when exactly that day would be, Maribelle mentioned a date, and Tina sighed and said it was too bad, she would already back in Indonesia. Tina's flight home was due on mid-January. And Chandni was thinking of staying a bit longer to see how it would look like in this island.
That day there was not much to do, since they were already exhausted and Tina suggested a day for souvenir shopping to Maribelle before she took-off.
