"Wow!!!" - that's what I said (or thought) many, many times in these 4 weeks in Madagascar... What a wonderful, interesting country, what a lot of different landscapes, very nice people, now I know why people are talking about Madagascar as a "unique continent", it's lot more than "only" the 4th-biggest island of the world! Advantage or disadvantage - the flights from Europe are quite, no, very expensive as there are only two companies -Air France and Air Madagascar - that go there , but , as the advantage, Madagascar is quite far away from mass tourism by now...

I like these plants as they eat at least some of all the flies and mosquitoes

I don't know if it's good to catch such an amount of lobsters every day?!?
What a great lunch, fresh as fish can be, just bought from the fishermen ;-)
