Le Galawa Beach Hotel & Casino Moroni

My trip to Comoros Islands was more of an adventure than a visit. As soon I arrived there the amazing nature intrigued me into discovering the wildlife of the islands. The nature was richer that what i had expected with all the endangered species of birds and turtles, and some kinds of fish that you can only find in the Comoros ...

... an additional day in the hell-hold of Chomoni. If you go to the Comoros, don't go to Chomoni. The rest of the island is so charming brimming with lovely people. Chomoni sucks. Probably the most fun I had was our first and last nights in this little room that we had arranged attached to a little retaurant in Moroni. At night all of the owner's friends stop by and sit around the table outside chatting and just relaxing after work. One of the men used to be a ...

So the last entry I wrote was erased as I tried to post it... go figure. Appologies for the long delay but internet is hard to come by. For your reading pleasure here is the erased post about the boat journey. The next post on our time in the Comoros will be coming soon when internet is a bit cheaper. Well short version. Rose and I thought it would be a good idea to go by boat to the Comoros... how wrong we were. Never travel by cargo boat unless ...

... accomodation, and we had camped on the beach in a different village the night before (incredible) and were in need of fresh water. We found our hotel - a room on the beach in a little building. Just a bed, table, a giant poster of Wesley Snipes from "Blade" covering the wall, no electricity, buckets of water upon request, and an outside stone squat toilet that I'm positive folks up the hill looked into as we ...

... on the floor? - Lots of sticky surfaces. - A chorus of people who find our discomfort hilarious. - Rough seas. It was only on the fourth day that I could manage to stand long enough to brush my teeth without getting queasy and needing to recover for a few hours. My first few days were planned around conserving energy to make my daily trip to the bathroom. Mix for four days and four nights. It was certainly an adventure and a cultural ...

... definitely no comparison! The town is constructed of either volcanic rock or concrete block, or galvanised iron, or a combination of all 3. It is not without its charm, and has interesting narrow lanes, and the odd carved doorway. We get E20 changed into 9600 local francs at Western Union, as the banks are closed, so when we are buttonholed by a French bottom of the market traveller, we are able to get a coke while we sit and listen ...

Il semble que le mauvais temps nous suive. Pas grand chose à voir. Les Comores ressemblent beaucoup aux Seychelles. L'île semble très pauvre. Les gens sont gentils, mais quelque chose manque. It looks like the bad weather follows us. Not much to see. The Comores look a lot like the Seychelles. The island seems very poor. The peoples are nice but something is missing.
