Mauritius/Fort Adelaide View of Mauritius

At the Peak of Port Louis: Fort Adelaide—A Colonial Fortress Through Time and a Panoramic Paradise Overlooking Mauritius from Fort Adelaide A 35-degree breeze blows in With a heatwave sweeping through Standing beside a 19th-century cannon Waiting for a 21st-century sunset The wind blows from the Indian Ocean Turning the old pages of colonial history And stirring the blue of the entire Port Louis Touching the weathered fort Fingertips trace the marks of Dutch, French, and British struggles Between the stone cracks lie legends of pirate ships and the sugarcane empire
