Mauritius » Cities and towns » Vacoas-Phoenix

 

The Vacoas and Phoenix areas are gradually merging into something of a single suburban sprawl along with Curepipe and Beau-Bassin Rose Hill.

Vacoas consists of a lively bus station (perhaps because people are so excited to be departing) and market. The one main point of interest for travellers is the museum. The colonial style building was previously a Scottish Presbyterian church, then a rum store. If that's not remarkable enough, it's worth mentioning that this was all happening in Port Louis.

The building was dismantled stone by stone, and resurrected in Vacoas. In the museum, the police forensic unit has an exhibit up which includes bullet ridden human organs that have been pickled and jarred.

Phoenix is home to Mauritius Breweries, producer of the local Phoenix Beer. This is largely an industrial area and, along with the brewery, is famous for its glassworks, and food and beverage production companies.
