Welcome to Reunion
The island of Reunion was the first stop on our January 2024 cruise on the way to Cape Town, South Africa. It is actually a pretty good size island. We drove south on good roads for almost an hour before working our way another hour up into mountains to see the Volcanic areas of the island.
