I've heard there was an excellent ex-Mauritius fare some time back too, but that was before my time here.

I'm sorry you missed out at the last minute SDandi. You were late to the party, but learnt really fast and seemed good to go. I especially liked your finish of CDG-xDOH-SEZ as your way of getting back to Africa. (I visited SEZ on my way to KRT to start my ex-KRT DONE4 in 2013 - so I've ticked that place off my list already)
