hi everyone happy independence day we're going to drive around the line barracks and then into
Port Louis and see what happens lots of flags hopefully driving around the line barracks
can't find parking anywhere close well anyway actually
it's raining people you know yeah how about any parking let's go get some food
the line barracks is awesome yeah it's huge looks like they have their own moat yeah
clean you guys up a little bit there thank you
we're driving around the line barracks it's on purpose not because we lost
and because there's a load of one ways and the only ones that we go in a sort of a direction
are filled with traffic so we sneakily thought we'll just take a different direction
so welcome to the drive
it's really pretty when it's been raining and then the sun comes out it really is you should actually
go through a drive through this into Port Louis and show you all the flags oh yeah let's do that
who needs food yeah kind of yeah food would be great but let's imagine we've had some
how big is this barracks it's massive it takes up a whole block wow
red light
jay's travel tours wow that traffic light took an age yeah absolute age
anyway still along line barracks along that side but we're actually heading into town
like we said we're gonna go see if we can see the flags yeah it's cool hopefully this is some
nice old buildings yeah yeah i think it i mean it's only only road that goes in this direction
police headquarters okay so that's no it still is line barracks it really does keep going yeah
and Port Louis is awesome because there's always different parts of it it's really big i know for
you guys from big towns and things big cities yeah but it's not that big but it really is big
other cities in the world you know they have traffic so that they tried to get the traffic
moving and and carrying on but yeah i'm Port Louis no no no take your time go down a one way
get trapped in the in the heart forever go round and round Port Louis in circles because you'll
find a new thing yes new things or old things and this is a place you think you know that you know
but you really don't i've driven this road loads of times this is different yeah there's so many
places we haven't been to yet importantly there's a sign that says to city center i don't trust them
because the city centre is not there no look at all these people on the road but we're coming
up for the main bit uh which i consider the city center yeah i suppose that's the plais
de arms which might not be the city center yeah oh this whole place is cool i have to get ahead here
sorry everyone i didn't want to get sucked into the wrong way i'm going to not the city
center not the city centre i think next to us is where the new terminal is yes
okay have a look here victoria station flags
yeah independence day everyone yeah on the independence day yes it's a couple of days
before but whenever this video comes out happy independence day this will be on independence day
awesome look at all the flags check this out now there's no wind blowing these beautiful flags
about how sad is that but every single building has these stripes of flags on there it's amazing
look at this it's really cool flags everywhere and i'm gonna just cheat and go up here a bit
because that is so cool it's the prime minister's house yeah and that's queen
victoria yep independent now and look at the buildings look at this one oh you can't see it
oh what a pity because the the money bank the bank money of mauritius how
did they get their flags up there yeah you can see it that's cool and we're gonna head
towards chinatown a little bit i'm not sure where to turn i'm i'm stuck a little bit
but yeah Mauritius independence day and then everyone will be out with flags and things
yeah and this year well no parades probably i don't know i think i'm going to go up this
road go for it i was hoping there'd be more flags we still got some flags
but yeah and there's some on top of buildings and people on the street corners are selling them
oh so and people eating food yeah they're eating food they should have like a roti drive-through oh
any sort of drive-through in Port Louis because do you guys see a parking anywhere
go back and rewind and see if you've seen a parking i think i'm allowed to go
but he's sort of going and i'm sort of going who hesitates stops
yeah and this is zone one this is expensive parking per hour yeah for sure well yeah 20 rupees
not really that expensive yeah and only two hours maximum but there's just no parking
more food do you think if i'd rolled down my window i could say hey can i have a roti and
they would come to the window maybe i don't know we're not stuck in traffic anymore indian corner
oh and they've got pani puris yeah look at that in a nice little building that's awesome then
you get these places that you think are parking but they're not it's private parking not for you
no it's like for other people i don't know who i really don't know who or big storm clouds again
very ominous being dramatic yeah there's been so much flooding in Port Louis
we're very very lucky in the north yeah we got very lucky so little rain i'm just kidding
yeah there's a car blocking everyone thanks buddy it's probably what the traffic jam was from the
other direction yes oh that's a great piece of art i'm gonna try and get it through my window
going through your window oh man that's awesome i've never seen that one before
no that's a new one oh that is cool it's massive really awesome love it
don't worry we didn't move too far yeah this is a whole other different part of Port Louis i have no
idea where this is i just turned and i think we lost let's Port Louis can't get lost no because
the mountain's on one side and the seas on the other i can't see the mountain or the sea Riki
come come go go oh people
don't worry we're in no hurry
we're not sure where we're going no i think you should go that way i feel like going this
way this way okay because look there's more oh okay yeah this is the the hotel i do keep
forgetting what it actually is oh it's like the town hall or something it is it's a town hall
i know guys there's these these raindrops but they're on the outside i i can't clean
Suzie is ineffective at windscreen wipering no
wow look at that super cool and it has a few days to go so i assume that there'll be even more
i assume they've started now for their festivities later yeah and if it feels like
we're kind of doing circles yeah yeah we kind of welcome to Port Louis if it's your first day
that's the theater yeah next to us you can't see it right
are we going back past the prime minister's house more flaggage not the prime minister's house no no
prime minister's house has lots of flags but even they're missing a green one yeah yeah
must have fallen off but yeah happy independence day mauritius happy independence day everyone
from Port Louis it won't be a parade but we paraded it ourselves yes we have your flags
never quite sure in Port Louis who gets to go and i think it's a matter of confidence
yeah unless there's specifically a red light you understand these
red lights work yeah and pedestrian crossings sort of work but at these
intersections there's no stop streets on any of them it's just like the road just
all joins you have to know which is the important road and that's the road that goes
how are you supposed to know which is the most important road the most confident person exactly
and this is the state bank of mauritius also with the flag and it's classic uh pinkish grey tile
they all seem to happen yeah it's like branding it's cool
looking at that big ship is that a big ship um that looks like a massive ship at the end of the
we're driving in that direction you guys hang on hang on a bit eventually building oh here
we go oh the green man is finally flashing wow guys how long was that uh that traffic light
let us know yeah put in the comments below yeah and if you enjoy sitting traffic lights with us
don't forget to subscribe yes for sure you can get a lot of well not too many cities that is a ship
no that's a big that is never seen such a big ship in mauritius oh there's got to be a building oh
there's another traffic light did we get through it yes we did that is a really big ship wow maybe
we should go around the corner and go see this big ship i think we should go see the big ship
i'm not sure how going on the corner is gonna get there oh we have to go around the corner too
it's not us he's not hooting at us
shouldn't hoot at someone else
Port Louis is awesome Port Louis has a whole character of its own it really does but it's
the people that make it in the buildings and the cars and the cars and the one-way system
wow amazing awesome place and the rain and the rain sorry everyone whoops
i don't know how to get to that ship
yeah i i don't know might have to go via uh it's going to go
into the Caudan to Rose Hill or something and come back again
this is the victoria station yeah yeah it should be opening up i think towards the end of the year
i think the building on the side yeah no they're really restoring it quite nicely i think i know
we'll give you guys an update as soon as they've they've put a few they're going to move all the
um what are they called the veggie sellers and everything the market
really they're moving the market a lot of
they're going to come here wow
well how could they do that yeah because it's going to be a cool new hub for Port Louis and
it connects to the metro across the way so then people can come from Curepipe and stuff and go to
the market easy yeah so if this is a bonus part yeah because we well this
is the way that uh sorry about the windscreen wipers everyone oh they're not automatically
Susie she likes to leave streaks yes
but this is another way instead of going through Chinatown it it sort of takes you
into more traffic but it's less traffic than in Chinatown and that's the metro overhead okay
so this is one of those sneaky tricks that you do to get out of Port Louis to get to the north
you can take that road that i just went on and come and do the traffic circle and get back on
the highway and be heading in the right direction yeah on a sort of faster road
time wise it's quicker yeah distance wise it's like four kilometers longer or something
ridiculous anyway there's a temple oh you see other people know that trick
yes i think everybody knows that trick wow those clouds are looking really dramatic
almost uh tornado-y wow one's on that side yeah yeah exactly i know you're looking for your
ship there i can see the masts of it i reckon we probably could have
gone into the Caudan parking we probably would have been able to see it probably
now this is one of the problems of going down
this way is that there might be traffic depending on what time you're going yes
everyone wants to be in that light well we have to be in that lane oh okay we just cheating i
don't know we came fully entitled to go down this road this was our road
there you have the victoria station from another angle yeah going back and that
building that Riki said had the cream tiles state bank commercial state bank mauritius
yeah and more flags around rogers
yes don't say rogers uh-huh no they're a company
he's also the guy who bought the rupee to Mauritius yeah colonel roger
parked his ship somewhere he lost an anchor somewhere in uh Grand Baie
as far as i remember yeah come on taxi
wow never seen a taxi hesitate before yeah i know because obviously he's new to his job
how does he know there'll be lots of accidents around this corner when we see the ship
yeah i know but the ship is i've never seen anything as big as that it is huge it must
have it must have got lost look at the clouds and things though it's really beautiful place
okay getting ready for our ship everybody unless you just jumped here with a card yeah
no card for this ship there's no ship we can't see it can't see the ship oh man there's all this
oh no
no ship oh no you should have gone to the Caudan should have gone to the Caudan by the way we
showed you a sneaky way to get out of Port Louis if you don't want to go through Chinatown yep
and you can see the guys selling the flags on the side of the road yes for independence day and not
oh boy that was a long one but it was lots of fun
well anyway everyone thanks for watching see you again next time
