Réunion

My blog has notched up its first visit from someone on Réunion. Frankly, I have to admit, whilst I had heard the name, I had no notion as to where the island is to be found. So as ever I had to look it up on Wikipedia. It is situated in the Indian Ocean, East of Madagascar.

What is particularly interesting, is via colonialism Réunion is classed as an Outermost Region of the European Union and as such the currency is the Euro (€).

Thanks for visiting, whoever you were. And how exciting to continue discovering parts of Europe one knew nothing about!
