A day on the road. No, that's not correct. A day in the air. We were picked up by the younger brother of Ny. They almost looked like twins. When we reached the airport, the doors were locked from inside. We did had to wait long to understand why. Starting in the end of a queu, lots of salesmen were…

Flying into antananarivo is something different, it's high up and hilly and there is rice fields everywhere, pockets of houses spread out against the earthy brown backdrop.   'Tana' itself is a hustle and bustle of a third world capital, a LOT of people everywhere: animals , people and re…

Après un long vol, me voici finalement à Madagascar, à Tana. Malgré la beauté de la ville, l'endroit ne m'a pas semblé très accueillant. Les rues sont surpeuplées, l'air est hyper pollué... il est donc temps d'aller voir les grands espaces, la nature, la faune et la flore.... bre…

Before I landed in Antananarivo 11PM at night I thought that Madagascar is in Africa! I expected and prepared myself as it was going to be my most challenging trip. Well, I was wrong. I found myself in Paris in the 1960's.

The flight to Antananarivo was uneventful or leastwise I don’t remember much about it. Surprisingly there were no bad surprises with any lost luggage or anything and we found David Razza our local contact almost immediately. He made us change so much money (saying we would need it for our stay wi…

Should be interesting to evaluate in the ;long run but planning to head out very soon. Should be back here for 2 days before final departure once I have gooten m…

Another excursion to Antsahadinta, about 20 km from Antananarivo. But due to traffic and the bad state of the road when approaching Antshadinta, we needed 2 hours to go there.Antsahadinta is one of the 12 hills, which king Andrianampoinimerina (1745-1810) united. At each hill was one of his wives (…

please have a look

Random photos from my travels.

Antananarivo is the main city in Madagascar. Generaly travelers have to stay one night after and before flights. It  ist'nt useful to stay a long time but a day to have a long walk in the city. We visiting one or two of the hills surrounding the downtown and the downtown itself, were…
