RE: Mauritius - The home of the lighthouse keeper at Albion Lighthouse

in Pinmapple2 years ago

A pity you could not go in and up the stairs for the grand views you mentioned you have seen previously. Sad fact most lighthouses are off limit to people visiting like when manned by people who would gladly show you around.

Old house looks occupied by furry friend taking his siesta nap alone in the quiet spot.

Thanks :) Yes, I do remember the view to be great, so I should have liked to go inside and up the stairs. But then, I should have checked a little more before we went down there. Last time there were no restrictions. We just turned up. Now you have to book a visit as part of a tour group or get the permission from the Port Authority. But I didn't check that out before after our visit. One good thing is, that I actually noticed the lightkeepers home. I havent' been aware of that before. The time of day was when sun was at it's warmest. The dog actually found a good place to get some shade :)

So many changes happen all the time one is almost forced to plan before going anywhere. Homes for the lighthouse keeper would be a great place to purchase property, great views!

Clever dog finding a cool dry spot knowing not many will arrive to disturb his slumber 😄

I thought the same as you, when I saw the house. The house has potentials and the location has a gorgeous view :)

Might be worthwhile making inquiry, imagine living in a place like that. Small tea room to the side of the house, where visitors to lighthouse could stop to enjoy the view!

A splendid idea! then it would be possible to sell locally grown coffee and tea to visiters !

Would be an amazing place to invest oneself, enough company in the day, absolute peace at night with great views all year round.

I really like the idea. It will be worth checking out :)
