"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...
