Mauritius - The home of the lighthouse keeper at Albion Lighthouse

When I took my travel companions to Albion on the west coast of Mauritius a couple of weeks ago, the plan was to explore a specific abandoned building. The ruins of the Bergeraz hotel built in 1975. According to an article in the Mauritian newspapers L'express the former hotel belongs on a list of haunted houses on the island. We didn't see these ruins, because they no longer exists. Instead we got to see what is left of the lighthouse keeper's home. We chose to make our first stop at the Albion Lighthouse, because the ruins of the hotel was supposed to be located at the same place as the lighthouse – on top of the Pointe-aux- Caves Cliff. The lighthouse is still standing on the edge of the cliff guiding the ships safely on the way to the harbour in Port Louis. It's still operational, but automated, so the lighthouse keeper has left his home long time ago.
