If I could travel back in time just a day... there would be many times I would like to visit. The Victorian era for the costumes,, days of Mr Darcy for romance (even though he is fictitious). visit my ancestors on the family history side .
But also to the days of the dear old Dodo (mid to late 17th century) from my birth country of Mauritius. To try and save this flightless bird which due to its naivety, fearlessness and flightless ness is no more. I originally thought that the Dodo was killed for its meat, but having read a bit more, see that it wasnt ideal for eating, but was killed for fun by man and their animals, and because it nested on the ground their eggs were easy targets for all. The only Dodo I have seen is a stuffed one in the museum in Port Louis. I dont know if the Dodo would have survived through the centuries but we will never know.
