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 ...

... to host a music festival of Comorian music and in his cafe he had a smashed guitar from one of the artists. He told us the man was a true artist and if only we could have an opportunity to hear him play, but unfortunatly he went crazy after loosing his career and the smashed guitar was the start of that slip. Guess who? Same guy!! Not too big of a coincidence considering how small the islands are... So anyway, mixed feelings on the Comoros but overall very positive.

... 2am I woke up for the 6th time that night laying on my thermarest trying not to touch anything and I felt like somebody was stepping on my bladder!! What the?? Actually nothing so dramatic, i just needed to pee. But really really badly. I had been trying to ignore the feeling for about four hours since I didn't want to face going to the bathroom especially since I didnt even know where it was. Well it was time to face the inevitable... So I ...

Tomorrow, we set off for Madagascar, by PLANE. We've had quite the little adventure in this odd destination, but I'm pretty thrilled to move on to my dream destination. Overall, we've had a good time, but of course there was what Marta and I refer to as a "seagull moment" (see last entry). We spent the last 2 days in Chomoni, a village on the east side of the island. We went there mostly because we knew they ...

... his English isn't much better. Maybe it could work. - The guy who smelled horrible and also happened to be positioned right next to our heads. - The guy who thinks it's a good idea to catch a seagull and show it off in our communal living space. As if it wasn't dirty enough already. - Random mystery bits falling on our faces. We were on the sea - it couldn't have been dirt or dust, so what was the film of junk on my face when I awoke from my ...

... a bit wary about coming here, so are only staying two nights - just long enough to have a look. While we were in Madagascar we found out that they had an election in May, and that things are calm since then, and that Mt Karthala, at 2360 metres, the largest active volcano in the world, erupted three weeks ago, but all is quiet now. During the flight see a couple of isolated islands, but miss out on seeing most of Grand Comore, as we ...

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.
