This is a top pick! "Don't worry... about a ting... cause every little ting... is gonna be alright!" Haha, it never gets old! I love waking up with nothing that I HAVE to do. Breakfast is simple (toast, jam, fruit and juice) yet peaceful as I beat all the ...
I arrive in Madagascar!
This is a top pick! ... I have more time to write.) It's hot! Not quite as hot as South Africa, but a stickier heat for sure. I'm in Madagascar!!! I keep thinking about how crazy that is and how I don't think I know anyone who has been here. I feel lucky ...

Tana
This is a top pick! Madagascar 18th April 2008 We took the 1 hour 45 minute hop across from Mauritius to Madagascar and arrived about 5.30pm. It was very apparent to us that there was a slight drop in temperatures from 32 degrees to a cool 25. We queued up for the visa ...

This is a top pick! I wake up at 4. Have to go to the bathroom. Coming back I feel nauseous. Have to go to the bathroom again. Feel sick by now. It does take an hour before I realize: this is NOT right. I am sick as a dog till 8. Hubby cancels the diving. He does not want ...
Diving at Nosy Be
This is a top pick! Diving shop at 07h50, walk to the beach, all equipment is ready for you. The boat ride is an hour. Briefing: I translate the bad French of 'big' Roberto into bad English. You are supposed to get off the boat with a 'giant strike' at the back. I ...
Till we meet again
This is a top pick! Getting on and off the plane was painful with my knee. Luckily our Andry is waiting for us. Tomcat finds us a room with wireless internet, so I can catch up. The plan: for me to move at little as possible and hope nothing is severely ripped. ...

Andasibe 2
This is a top pick! ... Mary. Our main aim, we told Mary was to find chameleons. We felt we hadn't seen enough of them yet (over our 4 weeks in Madagascar) especially ones bigger than the size of a thumb. 'Yes, yes no problem' was Mary's reply. We liked her confidence we just ...
