there's a place you have to see in mauritius and no it's not the McDonald's this is where
the business of mauritius happens this is how we do Ebene we come to the Intermart which is
right next to the McDonald's and there's tons of parking but if you come at lunch time it's going
to be full so this is the Ebene commercial center and it's got lots of great places for you to eat
and lots of shops but let's go eat there is still a bit of history in Ebene we left
the original house from Ebene right here maybe yeah they can't build over it in the food court
and there's a train we've chosen today Le petit Bistro because they've got these milkshakes
oh what is that that looks amazing that looks so yum have to find out what that is i think
it's a burger and and pastas and salads and i just saw someone getting a milkshake
they have actually beautiful like vintage decor the tables and the signs on the wall and the bar
but look at this this is actually a piece of sleeper wood that they're using for
their lights genuinely trains used to go over that rocky road ah peanut but wow thank you
oh these milkshakes are just incredible
got banana oh and peanut butter so thick i'm not even sure what rocky road is
still not 100 sure but it's really really good some lucky person's getting a burger what is that
oh wow that looks absolutely beautiful always check their facebook page guys
they have great meals of the week yes this is one of the meals of the week
that burger looks incredible and there's chips
beef lasagna
yeah really wow the tomatoness and the creamy cheesy sauce
wow that was a great meal and should give us enough energy to continue on our adventure
let's go Riki there are tons of choices in the food court
all the way from noodles to indian to veg corner and cafes and chick en pepper
that's Intermart and there loads of other shops around the square
and sometimes they have festivals inside where they have locally made produce but
i think they're repairing their roof at the moment
in the Intermart if you're coming in you might notice there's a doorway out
there's a complex two tons of other shops and it looks like a gym gym life still more shops
and some books and look there's a KFC they actually have a KFC here oh and there's an upsize
upstairs area let's go check it out well this is upstairs and they've got a Check In and KFC
obviously they've got some tables up here as well little king not sure what that is restoway
they'd be great like meals of the day okay meals of the day oh yes Riki will get some
of that but there's a stairs at debonairs and a deli choice or in a salad bar so at
the shop you get your menu du jour 200 rupees today they've got chicken daube with rice and salad
and looks like the big chains are either renovating or closed there are toilets
and there's a Go Yuyu the korean stuff like we have at Intermart
and outside an absolutely stunning eating area wow look at that view while you're having your lunch
wow school books memories guys not connected to RC
sorry guys seems you can't try a drone must be all the big buildings and satellite signals
they're jamming once you leave the food court area behind you you start heading into wow traffic
the big buildings and the big glass structure let's go check some of them out
this is where the business of mauritius happens oh yeah loads of company headquarters banking
you name it it all has been decentralized from Port Louis and put here in Ebene
Ebene means flat or even as Riki said ah it's not so flat anymore
oh man this place has just grown into its own mountains you can actually see mountains from here
the mountains are not quite as big as the buildings
some of the most magnificent sidewalks in mauritius
with all these super buildings around you gotta wonder when they're gonna develop
this piece of land or maybe the guy isn't selling because he likes that palm tree
we did a video a few years ago and we pointed this
out and this palm tree was quite small we'll put a card
you probably would just want to drive around and have a look at the building
but if you do want to do a hike going on this route is probably the best because
you are going to get a lot more of the the more impressive building cyber cities down there you've
got the the other ones and other buildings and this one's a new one next hull i think
with these non-commercial buses the guy will actually hop out and tell you where
he's going even though it says on the front it goes off to Rosehill
this one is the ultimate terminator
if you're joining us on the walking tour bus stops make a great place to take a respite they comfy
and they're out of the sun and kind of entertaining yeah the buses that come past are a lot of fun
we almost got on one go for an adventure
i think we go that way we find the train maybe this
believe it or not is not a sidewalk don't continue
wow with the sun on it that's an impressive building
and the palm trees around it it is still mauritius
if that big cream building wasn't in the way you'd see the shape of that mountain with Pieter
Both on the end and would you believe cyber city one i'm just going to spring you around
actually emulates that mountain with Pieter Both on it yeah you said great as you're driving it
it's perfect day they line up perfectly from the highway everyone used to park on the side
of the road now they have Ebene car park which is a massive building to take up all the cars
for all the people who work out there that don't have their own car parks we need one in Grand Baie
Bryan's trying to get to the train
oh yeah i promised you a train and there's the Ebene train it actually is it looks like
a narrow gauge that they used to use on the sugar canes because it's got the sugarcane
things at the back no it's a full-sized train an actual old train from 1903 it says
they've taken out most of the cool stuff but it's still sitting out here in Ebene with those
modern skyscrapers behind and a little bit of sugarcane because well why not it's mauritius
we got trains and we got modern structures and a little sugarcane oh wow looks like he
got to the train i can't really tell because it's completely camouflaged with the workers in orange
the past traveling away from the future oh man it looks like they've started building a park here so
if you come you won't be able to get this close to the train but there will be a nice
park for you oh man the old and new it never gets old
oh it's video i was trying to take a selfie with the train in the building
oh how cool is that that is epic i've got to get a picture i've got to get a picture wow
awesome train cheers buddy because he's gonna get fenced off now i made it just on the right day
but i was able to see him but there's gonna be a footpath or bicycle path around here in future
got me a train is it awesome awesome little piece of history in Ebene still they're fencing it off now
Why? who knows what's gonna happen there
not all the buildings are mega structures but a lot of them are and there's a lot more being
built i've seen some development around there where it's even more is being built out here
because the land's flat or it was
don't eat these
not good look tasty but Ebene's infrastructure is always being updated
these look like thick cables for maybe fiber or something i was right fiber cables upgrading
5g these signs are not actually lit from within would you believe it's a building reflecting
and you can see because that's my shadow in it and that's the sun on that side
whoa glass buildings and that's the glass building doing the reflecting
wow shiny so you can get tanned front and back ah it's like a tanning salon welcome to
Ebene the best tanning salon in mauritius alright so Ebene in the middle of mauritius
right there all those big buildings here you can see the shadows wow
wow Ebene really is a must see well anyway everyone thanks for watching see you again next time
