Il Lemuria Land è una riserva naturale e botanica situata in mezzo a vecchie piantagioni di Ylang-Ylang. Abbiamo passeggiato su sentieri circondati da una vegetazione profumata di piante malgasce rare ed endemiche, così come una varietà di palme e spettacolari tubi di bambù alti fino a 25 metri. I missionari hanno fondato qui la distilleria di Ylang-Ylang, dove si svolge la maggiore produzione mondiale di olio essenziale di Ylang-Ylang. Poi siamo risaliti sul bus e siamo andati al centro città, dove abbiamo visitato il mercato che offriva prodotti locali di ogni tipo.

These are small cakes/pancakes made from rice flour that are really delicious. I was given the recipe and definitely want to try it out :) <figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c22a032c5801765607a00ffb8c6d3d4b_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Nom nom nom</figcaption></figure><p><br /></p><p> Since we obviously still hadn't had enough of lemurs, today's program included a visit to <i>Lemurialand</i> . It's a kind of animal park/zoo near <i>Hellville</i> . I think we got ripped off a lot when it came to the tuk-tuk prices to get there, but since the village is so small, there are only two drivers, and you have to rely on them and can't say no. So we drove there for about 30 minutes for half a fortune and then paid the entrance fee.</p><p> But our guide was really cool and knew a lot, so the tour was really fun. First we saw or rather looked for the " <i>roi du camouflage</i> ", a gecko that could adapt its color to its surroundings exactly. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/80fb435582841627cd377d0e2a265b2e_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Note: Bamboo</figcaption></figure><p> Secondly, we were once again amazed by lemurs, but this time we saw different species than before on Nosy Komba, including King Julien :D However, these were "locked up" (aka they were surrounded by a moat because they don't like water). Later, however, we would see wild lemurs :) </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/97194f9195655b6d6c6c15d67e32b67e_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Before that, we visited snapping turtles, which can easily bite off your finger, which is why we weren't allowed to pet them. Our guide told us that they even kill crocodiles. If they are eaten by a crocodile, they hide in their shell and later eat the crocodile from the inside out - scary! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9f29b7a3d36e98d6e1b2ac03001d15b2_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Small but mighty</figcaption></figure><p> Luckily, the wild lemurs came straight towards us and we were able to feed them with bananas and pet them for a good twenty minutes, while our guide showed off his cinematic talent and constantly filmed and photographed us :D He said exactly three things, each time in a different order: “ <i>Maaaaaki, maki maki</i> ”, <i>“</i> <i>Voilà</i> ”, and <i>“Banana?</i> ”. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/fa001aec9cb967d32336ab5d411f5774_small.jpg" /><figcaption> There is a happy Emelie</figcaption></figure><p> After this furry pleasure, we stopped by to see the two giant tortoises Napoleon and Bonaparte, who I think were 150 and 170 years old - and really huge! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/cad30db5acc52205a5c67ae6ada405d0_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> To top it all off, we saw crocodiles, which to be honest, really scared me. A crocodile eats 5kg of meat a week and can run at up to 40km/h - I can't do that, so I was glad there was a wall between us. When I saw these animals, I was honestly glad that we hadn't seen any at <i>Mont Passot</i> :D </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/72cbde79169d119ff7e80ef37d0a0d52_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> The last stop on the program in Lemurialand was the Ylang-Ylang distillery. Nosy Be means “Island of Perfume” because these Ylang-Ylang plants smell incredibly good and are a main ingredient in Chanel n°5, for example.</p><p> We were told that a container like this (see picture below) contains 500kg of petals - just imagine that, flowers weigh absolutely nothing!! According to my calculations, that would be around 300,000 flowers. You have to find them first :D This then produces around 12l of essential oil, which is sent directly to Paris. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2c7ed1aaf7bde9a09cd6b996ac8b1190_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After this lovely visit of about 2 hours, we took the TukTuk back to Hellville because we wanted to use the rest of the day to withdraw some money and take a closer look at the capital. So we dropped ourselves off at the ATM and told our driver to pick us up again at around 2pm. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/36af2a94ada953594625e2f54bf5cf03_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> A little richer than before, we strolled through the streets and looked into a few shops. There was really a lot going on in this city and I found it to be a total sensory overload. But it was very interesting, especially the big contrast to our tiny village and this city. We walked around here for about 4 hours and also visited the <i>Bazar Antranomanogny</i> , a kind of market. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/373b38c399fa1db62ecf468f58e591b5_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After a while we sat down in a really cute restaurant and shared a meal again before we got to the last stop, the supermarket. Here we stocked up on water, peanuts and baguette (as always :D) and then waited for our driver. Funnily enough we met the two English guys who had also stayed with us on <i>Nosy Iranja</i> - so <i>Nosy Be</i> is kind of small. We chatted a bit, the two of them were flying home today and passed the time until the flight. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/16d3dd7dada9e95b9bf5adf2867a53a7_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> When we got back to our accommodation, we freshened up (aka tried to shower ourselves with water from the canister) and then walked around our village a bit. It was really nice and we met a lot of nice people. We also saw this building, a cold storage room for fish, which didn't fit into the landscape at all. Of course, it was a project of the corrupt president, who would have thought... </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f63386d936527b75b9e3e9b638db4bd2_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Laura and I then wanted to sit down in a small bar and have a drink when we were approached by a boy who was learning English with an organization and wanted to chat a bit to improve his English. So the three of us sat down in the bar, bought him a large beer and talked to him in English for quite a while. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/ecfb0f5cde188e406eb6753d30b96237_small.jpg" /><figcaption> The sweet village bar</figcaption></figure><p> I found his story quite sad. He left his family because they were too poor to give him a life. Now he's 18 and lives alone in this small village and is trying to get his English certificate so he can become a guide and get out of Madagascar one day. It's a crazy story, but he seemed really happy to be able to talk to us and have a beer. At least something. After a while we said goodbye and went to our room to eat something. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/e6a86704f5438f78a9e422e1920c202d_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Our feast consisted of baguette with freshly bought bananas from the village and peanuts. Don't judge before you try, it was really delicious :D Necessity is the mother of invention, I've heard.</p><p> After that we went to sleep.<br /></p><p> ----------</p><p> Today we did the activity that made us move to this village in the first place: a visit to the Lokobe nature reserve.<br /></p><p> But the day started again with the awesome breakfast, we even asked for more of these rice cakes - so delicious!</p><p> At around 8:30 we got into a <i>pirogue</i> with our guide and his cousin. Luckily, this one was much more stable and had fewer holes than the one on <i>Nosy Iranja</i> . We didn't even need a bucket to empty the boat :D </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a2c7f298bc3a4d3eae71576aee19227c_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> We paddled for about 20 minutes and then arrived at a beach where we moored. The nature reserve is only accessible by sea, so of course our boat was not the only one there.<br /></p><p> We were greeted by a few souvenir stands, some of which I thought were really cool. However, we hadn't brought any extra money with us (probably fortunately) and so couldn't buy anything anyway. But it was nice to look around :) </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8f6fb0f18cd77224d893c3d4ec7f18bf_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After I had bathed myself in sunscreen, we started walking and first came across a rice field. It reminded me of my first trip to Madagascar, because there were these fields everywhere. The green of a rice field is a beautiful color and I'm really happy to see it again. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c630fbd34441361433c43a1ed112b731_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Rizière</figcaption></figure><p> What I saw next made me really happy: Lemurs (yes, again :D). We were told how the baby lemurs are raised and that the females always have the say. #GoLemurs</p><p> We stuffed the cute fur balls full of bananas again and continued walking after a few minutes. During the entire walk through the forest, our guide explained to us various plants and animals and also how he had learned all of them. His father is also a guide and had accompanied him on his tours since he was a small child. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/02e775e6ba612a3d154cc6d0ebdcfbc7_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Laura and the Lemur</figcaption></figure><p> The next animal we encountered was a boa constrictor. We learned that they sometimes eat lemurs, for example if they fall from a tree at night. Lemurs are almost blind at night and therefore cannot see the impending danger. However, a lemur like this probably stays full for a long time, which is why such an incident does not happen every week. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/5c23deb2b47d7db8e9d7100eac98d9de_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Next, we were treated to something that really showed off our guide's observation skills: He showed us the smallest species of chameleon in the world. At some point, he suddenly reached into a tree trunk and said, "Here, put your hand up." However he found these little worms, they were definitely smaller than I expected. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f201a6e9245aafdda903614429139597_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Smaller than an earthworm</figcaption></figure><p> Since we had been on the road for some time, it was time for a short break at a waterfall. I used this to make up for the lack of showering over the last few days and tried to remove the sunscreen residue from the last week from my skin while I bathed. I really felt like a new person afterwards and the cool water felt really good. Afterwards I sunbathed a little and enjoyed the beautiful place. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6a974435d47df19dfd8b78364aa75682_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After a break of about an hour, we went on to see a type of lemur that we hadn't seen before: a nocturnal lemur that is completely blind during the day. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a photo of it, but for those of you who know the animated films Madagascar, it's King Julien's little friend.</p><p> Towards the end of the tour, the guides once again demonstrated their powers of observation by showing us the king of camouflage in the wild. It took me a while to see him, but maybe you're better than me :D </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/dbd4f163d774a735c52241b6065746ba_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> On the way back to the beach we said goodbye to the lemurs again because we would see them for the last time today.<br /></p><p> When we got back to the starting point we sat down at a table, we were starving. The hour-long wait for the food was really long, but it was worth it: the food was super delicious, there was a kind of potato salad, bread, rice, zebu and I even ate a fish (thanks to Laura's coaching). There were oranges for dessert. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a37e5c46fcb55baefc6499fad74a820e_small.jpg" /><figcaption> nice view while eating<br /></figcaption></figure><p> With full stomachs, we hit the beach one last time to take a maximum tan with us to La Réunion.<br /></p><p> An hour later, around 2 p.m., we paddled back towards the village. We docked somewhere else because our guide wanted to show us the mangroves, a type of tree that only grows in salt water.</p><p> Once we got back to our accommodation, we freshened up as best we could and started packing up everything we no longer needed. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a1e93d33cecae9b0ddaebd3299408ebe_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Then we went out into the village and met our guide, with whom we spent the evening. First he bought bananas for us, because they are so incredibly delicious here, completely different to Germany and even to La Réunion. The people here in this small village haven't yet discovered the art of ripping off tourists, which is why we paid practically nothing for the bananas. Afterwards we went for a drink and our guide even invited us in, which was really nice. We tried the vanilla rum, which was really delicious and relatively smooth to drink. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2fd3fd750fd16c660d2a80790dd0efa9_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After 1-2 hours of chatting with our new friend, we said goodbye and went to our room to have dinner. Today we had bananas, cookies and peanuts on the menu. Yummy! :D</p><p> After this luxurious meal it was time to go to bed.</p><p> ----------<br /></p><p> The very last day had arrived and we had mixed feelings about it. It was really nice here and I would have liked to stay longer, but I did miss my normal standard of living a little.</p><p> For breakfast, we stuffed ourselves with all the rice cakes we could get our hands on and then packed the last things into our backpacks. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2f277397c9007a4bc2cc7beb6811de9b_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Yummy</figcaption></figure><p> Then we waited for our tuk tuk, which arrived promptly at 9am and took us to the airport. Before that, we took a final selfie with our guide friend and exchanged contact details. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d4d5e5363f17e76d70e1d088eb3af2d5_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Once we arrived at the airport, everything went smoothly and we quickly got through all the checks etc. Apparently everything went smoothly for everyone else too, because we took off almost 30 minutes early - Deutsche Bahn could never. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/cb7c11113d0bbe607c631646e14300f8_small.jpg" /><figcaption> My little suitcase on the road<br /></figcaption></figure><p> After about 1.5 hours of flying we arrived back home and I was actually quite happy about it.<br /></p><p> Since we had basically spent the last two weeks fasting, we went straight from the airport to a burger restaurant that Laura and I had been wanting to try for a while. We took our food with us and sat down by the sea. It was super delicious and a great end to the vacation :) </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/1651e343e20eb6738d73ece6eee0fda4_small.jpg" /><figcaption> yummy</figcaption></figure><p> ----------</p><p> Overall, this trip to Madagascar was completely different from my first one.</p><p> Firstly, the islands are very different from <i>Grande Terre</i> in terms of landscape and culture. Secondly, my first experience was of course much more luxurious and therefore full of contrasts. During the day you saw the poverty and in the evening you sat in luxurious accommodation drinking cocktails. This time we saw the poverty during the day and in the evening we sat in a house without electricity or water. I liked the whole thing because we actually lived like the people there and got a good idea of how they were doing. This time I also had more contact with the locals and talked to them a lot. That was very exciting and I missed it a bit last time. In terms of landscape I think I still prefer mainland Madagascar (apart from Nosy Iranja).</p><p> I am grateful to have had this experience and hope to forever cherish having electricity coming out of the socket and water coming out of the tap! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/5eb862e2c86ce6b01e94c980f20c58d8_large.jpg" alt="The two travel mice" /><figcaption> The two travel mice</figcaption></figure><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><br /><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/80fb435582841627cd377d0e2a265b2e_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Note: Bamboo</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9f29b7a3d36e98d6e1b2ac03001d15b2_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Small but mighty</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c22a032c5801765607a00ffb8c6d3d4b_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nomnomnom </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/97194f9195655b6d6c6c15d67e32b67e_large.jpg" /><figcaption>47th post - Lokobe and return journey</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2f277397c9007a4bc2cc7beb6811de9b_large.jpg" /><figcaption>The sweet village bar</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/cad30db5acc52205a5c67ae6ada405d0_large.jpg" /><figcaption>47th post - Lokobe and return journey</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/72cbde79169d119ff7e80ef37d0a0d52_large.jpg" /><figcaption>47th post - Lokobe and return journey</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2c7ed1aaf7bde9a09cd6b996ac8b1190_large.jpg" /><figcaption>47th post - Lokobe and return journey</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/36af2a94ada953594625e2f54bf5cf03_large.jpg" /><figcaption>47th post - Lokobe and return journey</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/emelile/47-beitrag-lokobe-und-rueckreise</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/emelile/47-beitrag-lokobe-und-rueckreise</guid><category><![CDATA[reise]]></category><category><![CDATA[erasmus]]></category><category><![CDATA[travel]]></category><category><![CDATA[reiseblog]]></category><category><![CDATA[reisen]]></category><category><![CDATA[travelblog]]></category><category><![CDATA[deutschland]]></category><category><![CDATA[frankreich]]></category><category><![CDATA[réunion]]></category><category><![CDATA[laréunion]]></category><category><![CDATA[afrika]]></category><category><![CDATA[afrique]]></category><category><![CDATA[africa]]></category><category><![CDATA[nosybe]]></category><category><![CDATA[erfahrung]]></category><category><![CDATA[budgettravel]]></category><category><![CDATA[budget]]></category><category><![CDATA[günstigreisen]]></category><category><![CDATA[günstig]]></category><category><![CDATA[flug]]></category><category><![CDATA[flughafen]]></category><category><![CDATA[abreise]]></category><category><![CDATA[lemuren]]></category><category><![CDATA[naturreserve]]></category><category><![CDATA[piroge]]></category><category><![CDATA[lokobe]]></category><category><![CDATA[freundschaft]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[emel'île]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jun 2024 07:52:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-13.3672288</geo:lat><geo:long>48.3159131</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[46. Beitrag - Nosy Iranja]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c34326fcb5f1969b29e189b130d4110d_large.jpg" /><figcaption>By the way, glamping is the word for glamorous camping </figcaption></figure><p>We had booked an overnight stay on <i>Nosy Iranja</i> <b><i>for this weekend</i></b> . It was an absolute must-see for us, even though it was really expensive. But up until now we had really vacationed in anti-luxurious conditions (frequent power outages, no doors, only one breakfast and half a pizza a day), so we treated ourselves. We paid €135 per person, but that included the three-hour boat ride, meals, drinks and some activities as well as accommodation. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4f252b012a42d243bec8c52c78acbcec_small.jpg" /><figcaption> The ant trail in our last accommodation</figcaption></figure><p> We packed our things in the morning and waited for a tuk-tuk that the provider would send to pick us up. At around 7:45 a.m. we got in and drove off towards <i>fun&boat</i> . For reasons that were still unclear to us, they had even sent two tuk-tuks, but that would become clear later.<br /> When we arrived at the agency, we met our fellow travelers, but only we and a mother-son team were staying overnight; the rest would return to Nosy Be by boat in the afternoon. We left our suitcase at the agency and went to the harbor with two backpacks, where the boat was already waiting for us. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9446950dd9e1427cf7933b0a5e70dc79_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Little nap during the long drive</figcaption></figure><p> We were given life jackets on board and the 1.5 hour boat trip began. <i>Nosy Be</i> quickly disappeared almost completely from sight, but <i>Grande Terre</i> , the "mainland" of Madagascar, came ever closer. The closer we got to our destination island, the clearer and more turquoise the water became. It looked really surreal in places, it was so beautiful. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/0d732855e1ad4ae6dbe9197dbed0257f_small.jpg" /><figcaption> In the picture rather semi nice</figcaption></figure><p> A few meters before <i>Nosy Iranja</i> we unpacked our snorkeling gear and I was so happy because the water was crystal clear and the color was indescribably beautiful. We could already see the white sandbank of the island in front of us and it was like paradise. In addition, we could see lots of turtles in the water from the boat. So we got off the boat with diving masks, snorkels and fins and swam with turtles and fish. It was somehow magical because the water didn't offer any visual barrier between us and the fish, it was far too clear for that. This place definitely deserved the name "Island of Turtles". </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/089695366dea162c80fc3dda43f649e5_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After a while we were called back on the boat and we moored at the sandbank. From there we only took a water bottle and flip-flops and went to the left. The island is split in two at high tide, but at low tide you can walk across a white sandbank from the right to the left part of the island. On the left part there was an abandoned hotel that was closed when the president changed to protect the turtles. They had buried their eggs everywhere in the sand, which we were later able to see first hand. The hotel was super luxurious and even after so many years of being empty it still looked really good, almost better than our current accommodation :D </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c34326fcb5f1969b29e189b130d4110d_small.jpg" /><figcaption> I don't have a photo of the hotel, but here is a photo where the water comes out well</figcaption></figure><p> After we had looked around, the guide left us alone and we were able to enjoy the stunning beach for about 30 minutes. It is difficult to describe how beautiful it was and photos don't even begin to convey it. We stood on a white sandbank with the finest sand I have ever felt. In front of and behind us was the sea, but it was as calm as a small lake. And the water was like air, so clear you could see through it. If you looked further into the distance you could see all kinds of turquoise, dark blue and light blue, it was really too beautiful to be true. I felt like I was sitting in a photoshopped reality.</p><p> After half an hour we walked all the way across the sandbank to a house where our guide picked us up to go and eat. To get to the dining area, which consisted of several tables set for the whole tour group, we had to walk a little further through the village, which was also interesting.</p><p> For lunch we had rice, pasta salad, fish, shrimps, zébu (a type of beef), chicken and bread, so we couldn't complain :D It tasted really delicious and was our first proper meal in a few days. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/ea084d9940afb6806216c202aaac3aa4_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Looks a bit ugly but was super tasty</figcaption></figure><p> We tucked in and were more than full afterwards. For dessert we had pineapple and oranges.<br /> After dinner we were shown our tent, which was actually just a small room with a roof down to the ground, really cozy and beautiful (and right by the sea!). We put down our luggage and spent the next few hours digesting and getting a tan by lying on the beach. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/289d98d2cbf49a88541b9ef583ff070b_small.jpg" /><figcaption> By the way, glamping is the word for glamorous camping</figcaption></figure><p> At 5 p.m. we met up with our guide and the other two people who had stayed overnight in front of the sandbank, which had since been flooded by the sea. He was waiting for us there at a table made of sand that he had dug into the beach. I was more impressed by this than I perhaps should have been, but it was really, really cool. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/df149f5c2ebf289c0b8e34bd402c8d90_small.jpg" /><figcaption> The table easily knocked me off my feet for 15 minutes</figcaption></figure><p> We snacked on peanuts and banana chips, the other two drank juice and Laura, I and the guide drank a lot of rum in the form of mojitos. They were really delicious, with cane sugar and limes straight from <i>Nosy Be.</i> The evening progressed slowly and we had a really good chat, it was really nice.<br /> At some point I had to go to the toilet so badly that Laura and I moved a little away from the table so we could pee in the dark. But just as we got far enough away, a strange woman ran up to us and informed us that a turtle was laying its eggs on the beach. So of course the toilet plans were immediately abandoned and we gathered around a turtle with everyone else. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d66d26940e8593414b42ff48e7b714e2_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> We watched her as she scratched the sand over her eggs and then headed back towards the sea. The turtles always dig and bury two such holes to confuse any predators of the eggs. After 45-60 days, the little babies hatch at night.<br /> It was really exciting to watch and I was really glad that the woman had called us. We all then returned to our sand table for a short while and then made our way back to the dining area. Here we had dinner, which was really delicious.</p><p> We were very lucky later and were able to watch two more turtles laying their eggs. Unfortunately, you can't upload videos here, but it was really cool to see. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d651d58eaff9c1dd96abf05562354b73_small.jpg" /><figcaption> The moon was so beautiful at night</figcaption></figure><p> After this spectacle, our other two overnight friends said goodbye and went to bed, while Laura, Constantin (our guide) and I opened the bottle of rum again. Unfortunately, Laura was no longer so enthusiastic about the idea of alcohol, which is why Constantin and I drank the liter of rum almost alone. But it was delicious and a really fun evening! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/23d77c259cf6743a630c5b48fd2e02ce_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Three fun seafood</figcaption></figure><p> At around 11 p.m. we lay down in the luxury tent and I fell asleep immediately.</p><p> —————</p><p> Waking up was very nice and very unpleasant at the same time. The view from the bed was unbelievably beautiful, it was a gentle sunrise over the soft, clear water. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f48424c949b40dbefe7317ca1d1a6942_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Unfortunately, I had to swap the view from the bed for the view from the toilet, because I had a bad case of food poisoning. And I was also sick from the alcohol, a dream. In retrospect, I think that the ice cubes in the mojito were probably made with tap water rather than drinking water. I hadn't expected that, since we were traveling with a real agency, but oh well, that's how it is :D So I struggled a bit on the toilet (with many flashbacks to the first Madagascar vacation), took 2-3 activated charcoal tablets and sat down with the others at the breakfast table. I had been going through coffee withdrawal for a few days now thanks to not eating breakfast, but I really didn't want to add that to my gut. So I ate a crêpe and an orange and left it at that. I couldn't sit still any longer anyway, because the toilet was calling. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4031e2991fb32f852ecc9f93c0c70c81_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Not our nutshell, but a very nice pirogue</figcaption></figure><p><br /> The next item on the agenda was a <i>pirogue</i> trip to go snorkeling, which scared me on the one hand because I would be away from my toilet for at least 3 hours, and on the other hand because the <i>pirogue</i> really looked like a complete nutshell. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a photo, but it was honestly 6 wooden slats that had been poorly shaped into the shape of a boat. And there was even a bucket on board to scoop the water out of the boat during the trip. My kayak trauma made itself known, but I ignored it.</p><p> So six of us set off, four paddled and two emptied the boat. We made good progress and arrived at our snorkeling location after about 30 minutes. The water was once again incredibly clear, and you had the feeling you could stand upright the whole time because you could see the bottom so clearly. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/e56dd6f74cf6d025bd85a3a35ad82c3d_small.jpg" /><figcaption> The water is sooooo beautiful here</figcaption></figure><p> Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles this time, but we did see a lot of fish and very beautiful corals. After about an hour of snorkeling, I gave up my snorkeling gear and just swam around a bit. When you swam out to the open sea, you felt like you were in a video game or virtual reality, because it was too good to be true. You swam and only saw transparent waves lapping towards you, with the shallow light blue of the sea in the background. It's hard to describe, but I just hope that these images will stay in my head forever. After a while, we set off back home in our floating saucer and managed to get all six people back to land safely. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/0326b7330e44fbf919453f085354e370_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Here again a marking of places where turtle eggs are located</figcaption></figure><p><br /> We then had a short time to get ready (or rather, time for me to use the toilet) before we continued on with a tour of the village. We actually just walked up the stairs, past souvenir stands, to an old lighthouse that unfortunately no longer worked. Past the lighthouse we came to a really beautiful viewpoint, because you could see the contrast between the white sandbank and the light blue of the sea, the color of the clayey earth and the green of the trees and bushes. A really great sight! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6cd621c7c0438675df332fb80cef8510_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p><br /> We use the chic backdrop for a selfie with the other two and Constantin. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/26d755180d46b7ea29d213f109e82cb2_small.jpg" /><figcaption> The Nosy Iranja Gang</figcaption></figure><p> After the return journey, I had lunch, the last meal on this beautiful island. I ate despite the discomfort (don't worry, I will refrain from any further explanations of the inner workings of my intestines from now on) and the upcoming 1.5 hour boat ride, because I had paid for it and besides, it was sooo delicious again *-*<br /> Luckily, we had about an hour left after lunch to spend on the beach before we had to head back to the boat. During this time, we tanned a bit and enjoyed the incredible view and the magical water one last time. Unfortunately, it went by far too quickly and we were already back on a boat heading for <i>Nosy Be</i> .<br /> Everyone we asked here what the most beautiful place on <i>Nosy Be</i> or even all of Madagascar was answered with " <i>Nosy Iranja</i> ". And they were all so right. I'm not a huge beach person, but that was a really amazing sight. I've never seen anything like it and I probably won't find it anywhere else. I'm really glad we treated ourselves to this trip, it was worth every cent. Constantin, our guide, was also just a sweetheart and really really pleasant, as were the mother-son team who stayed with us. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/7c7338bfac98667ba88e9c495500b3d7_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Back on <i>Nosy Be</i> and at the agency, we asked Constantin if he could get us a tuk-tuk to take us to our next accommodation in <i>Ambatoxavavy</i> . His boss should have organized this for us a long time ago, but he had forgotten. And it's not easy to find someone who wants to drive the long distance (45 minutes) on a rather bad road at night, because he has to drive it back alone and is unlikely to find any clients on the way home. Fortunately, Constantin was able to convince the driver who had also taken us from the port to the agency. The price was steep, but what could we do, we just had to go :D Constantin was then nice enough to accompany us to the AirBnB and then let us drop him off at his place on the way back, so the poor guy was still in the tuk-tuk for 90 minutes after work.<br /> When we arrived in the village of <i>Abatoxavavy</i> , all the residents already knew that we were coming. We didn't have a specific address, but as soon as they saw us they guided us in the right direction and we arrived safely. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8defe84fa69c2960498e4e6429b24a41_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Arrival at the fourth accommodation</figcaption></figure><p> The room we had was actually really nice, I had expected worse. The bathroom was pretty bad, especially because there was no running water. And yes, I didn't want to talk about it anymore, but I would like to point out the need for a flush toilet. And we hadn't had the opportunity to shower on Nosy Iranja, so it would have been really necessary. But hey, what can you do. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6a039f8703ddd7e123e1644a9adb6fac_small.jpg" /><figcaption> ✨ Luxury vacation ✨</figcaption></figure><p><br /> The rest of the village was really small and there was nothing, but it was kind of cute. The people were very nice and open and our host, who lived a little further away, was really nice too.</p><p> After the long drive we went to sleep pretty quickly.</p><p><br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9446950dd9e1427cf7933b0a5e70dc79_large.jpg" /><figcaption>In the picture rather semi nice </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/0d732855e1ad4ae6dbe9197dbed0257f_large.jpg" /><figcaption>I don't have a photo of the hotel, but here is a photo where the water comes out well </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/089695366dea162c80fc3dda43f649e5_large.jpg" /><figcaption>46.

This turned out to be easier than we thought, because a man came up to us right outside the door of our hotel and led us to the boat. There we went on board and drove from right to left for about half an hour to pick up other people. Then we finally headed towards <i>Nosy Be</i> , with beer crates under our feet and chickens on the roof.</p><p> [Picture coming soon]</p><p> When we arrived at the port of <i>Nosy Be,</i> we were surrounded by <i>tuktuk</i> drivers and had to hold on to our suitcase because they all wanted to take us to the AirBnB. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/0fb22fa57b2769af1b323e76c50fe1b6_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Tuk Tuk</figcaption></figure><p> We then decided on one of the many based on our gut feeling and set off in the direction of " <i>Croisière Coco, Espace la Banane</i> ", which was what our host had told us. From there we followed his instructions and walked along a long dirt road and across the beach until we arrived at around 8am. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/aa6666f468ef274ba8e638521b018156_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Our terrace at Franck's AirBnB</figcaption></figure><p> We spoke briefly with Franck, our host, and then decided to go on a discovery tour after checking into our room and sharing breakfast. We first went to the <i>Scuba Nosy Be</i> diving school and arranged two dives for the following day. Then we took a tuk-tuk to a waterfall. The driver also became our guide and accompanied us to the waterfall and back again. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/b9b6291525d6e6423428fbf3cf6ca37e_small.jpg" /><figcaption> The waterfall</figcaption></figure><p> In the evening we ate a very tasty and very expensive fish at Franck's, our host's, and then went to sleep.<br /></p><p> ----------</p><p> The next day was all about diving. After breakfast we went straight to the diving school and met lots of nice people, including several from La Réunion. We took a boat to the island of <i>Nosy Tanikely</i> and did our first dive in this national park. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d230767fdd625ed4245bbad577c4a059_large.jpg" alt="Us on the boat" /><figcaption> Us on the boat</figcaption></figure><p> It looked completely different to La Réunion, more fish and really huge mussels covering the ground. After about 70 minutes we got back on the boat and drove to the island. There we went on a little tour of the island with our diving instructor (who is only a diving instructor because he smoked weed and lost his license and consequently his job). We saw lemurs and climbed an old lighthouse. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6e14db8cae4de4e68a012c0c5983e7ff_large.jpg" alt="All lighthouses on Nosy Be" /><figcaption> All lighthouses on Nosy Be</figcaption></figure><p> After about an hour we went back on the boat and the second dive began. This one was even better than the first and it was unbelievably fun. We arrived back on <i>Nosy Be</i> around 2 p.m. We were pretty tired from the long dives so we just ate pizza and then went to bed. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8b63bbb16771fc03de21fb9cbb87e327_large.jpg" alt="View from the lighthouse" /><figcaption> View from the lighthouse</figcaption></figure><p> ----------</p><p> We spent Tuesday evening at the beach and shopping and got a good tan. On the way to the <i>Big Bazar</i> supermarket we met a parrot. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d1c0e935577bab99212f3445bbf86ad2_small.jpg" /><figcaption> not so easy to see but very loud</figcaption></figure><p> At around 5pm we went out for pizza (it's the cheapest thing you can get here and we always share one anyway :D), because we were meeting at the diving club for a night dive at 6pm. We arrived there and met the first German since we'd been in Madagascar. Laura and I wanted to do the night dive with special goggles and UV lamps to see the corals glow, which Michel had recommended to us at the diving camp on La Réunion. We paid the extra 10€ and were looking forward to it. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f8cde1cb4a4e9aaf854ec5490d70e1e1_small.jpg" /><figcaption> yummy</figcaption></figure><p> The dive was actually incredibly chaotic and I was soooo glad that I had some experience. It started with our diving instructor being a total slob and everything started off a bit chaotic. Then, just before we went into the water, I noticed that my barometer was losing air. So we quickly swapped it and jumped into the dark water. Things continued to be chaotic there: We were actually all supposed to dive together at the buoy, but only Laura and I were there and the rest were about 3 meters away from us, which is not a small distance in the dark. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/230a2fde5111916da8ea250a7690659e_large.jpg" alt="Thematically inappropriate, but that was our room by the way" /><figcaption> Thematically inappropriate, but that was our room by the way</figcaption></figure><p> Once underwater, everything was in disarray again. There were far too many divers (6 divers, a diving instructor and an assistant), which meant that I couldn't find Laura at first and started to panic a bit. But when we found our way back, it was a case of just avoiding all the fins and hands that were scurrying around us. And to top it all off, I noticed that my new barometer was also losing air, and not a little. I was really glad that I could now estimate these risks and knew exactly when it could become dangerous and what to do. Despite the hustle and bustle and the stress, it was a really nice dive and the effect of the corals and the light was pretty cool. But when we were out of the water again, I wasn't angry either :D</p><p> In the evening, as always, I went to bed completely exhausted.</p><p> ----------</p><p> On Wednesday we finally went on a hike, which I had been missing a bit from La Réunion. The most famous (and perhaps highest) mountain on <i>Nosy Be</i> is <i>Mont Passot</i> . It is surrounded by 9 lakes that you can see. It wasn't that far from our accommodation, about 45 minutes by tuk-tuk heading north. Our plan was to combine the three possible tours, each lasting 1-3 hours, into one big one. Unfortunately, when we arrived we discovered that a guide was obligatory (and expensive) and that you had to pay per tour. We therefore decided to only do one of the tours, namely the one where there was a chance of seeing crocodiles. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/5b22385ff5fca555725d29027831c379_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Viewpoint</figcaption></figure><p> While we waited for our forced guide from the village to drive up the mountain to us, we went to the lookout point and ate some baguette and jam that we had brought with us. We didn't have breakfast at the accommodation because it was incredibly expensive (25,000 Ariary, instead of 15,000 Ariary on Nosy Komba).</p><p> When our guide arrived, we were delighted to find that he was really super nice and knew his way around really well. During the "hike", which was more of a walk, he showed us a variety of plants. For example, a leaf whose juice could be used to dye furniture (or our hands, for example) red and at the same time protect them from ants. But also a plant that you could use to get a small tattoo. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/704f6a7c8b69451a066148e0a4a0f683_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Otherwise, we were shown plants and roots for diarrhea, fever and even Covid-19, it was really exciting and I wish I could have remembered everything. Even though <i>La Réunion</i> is known for sugar cane, I have never eaten it there just like that. During the tour, our guide gave us a cane of sugar cane and showed us how to "eat" it. It was really delicious, you basically suck the juice out and it tastes like very sweet lemonade or something. Very exciting and a great snack for on the go. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/facea530720a1a45fe67b58ec21bba28_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Hike</figcaption></figure><p> Unfortunately, when we arrived at the lake, we didn't see any crocodiles, but I was kind of glad about that, because I don't think I would have felt so safe without a barrier between me and them. There's a legend behind the many crocodiles on Mont Passot: A witch who came to the village and asked for water was refused it. She then put a curse on the whole village. A week later, the villagers started to cry bitterly and flooded their village. Then they turned into crocodiles, which is why it is said that some of them still wear bracelets. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4f4470fc148aa4b0dbf328d010833350_large.jpg" alt="Said lake" /><figcaption> Said lake</figcaption></figure><p> Well, we only came across chameleons and snakes, but that's enough :D</p><p> We arrived back at our accommodation in the afternoon and spent the rest of the day at the beach. In the evening we went out for another pizza (again we shared one, because saving money is everything).</p><p> Slightly weakened by the lack of nutrients of the last few days, we went back to bed.<br /></p><p> ----------</p><p> Thursday started out quite comfortably and ended in a near-death experience. An adventure holiday, after all. In the morning we went shopping for our breakfast again, namely baguette, jam and, for once, pakopako, which are super tasty flatbreads that you can buy in the local supermarket bakery. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/315ee2b4c8a6d7c726b929e0106c44ba_large.jpg" alt="Eaten Pakopako" /><figcaption> Eaten Pakopako</figcaption></figure><p> Afterwards we wanted to withdraw money because we wanted to go to <i>Nosy Iranja</i> at the weekend and it's really expensive. We went to the ATM and found out that it wasn't working. Apparently it was supposed to be repaired in 30 minutes, so we sat next to the machine and had breakfast (more or less leisurely). At some point some men actually came and did something to the machine so that it worked again. In the meantime, however, a tourist informed us that the machine had swallowed his credit card and that he had been trying to get it back for three weeks.</p><p> Since we needed the money, we put my credit card in the slot despite the warning and were lucky: both the money and my card found their way out of the machine!</p><p> Back at our AirBnB, we borrowed our host's kayak and decided to paddle to <i>Nosy Sakatia</i> , an island that we could see from our accommodation. It didn't look that far away and it was only 10 o'clock, so we had 7.5 hours until it would be dark. We packed our belongings, including cell phones and snacks, into two garbage bags and put on plenty of sunscreen.<br /></p><p> We happily set off paddling shortly afterwards and, thanks to the low tide, were able to navigate through fairly calm waters. The water was super clear and you could see corals, fish and even turtles - beautiful! After about 2 hours I noticed that our kayak was bubbling. After about 2 hours and a few seconds I noticed that a bubbling kayak is also a sinking kayak. Unfortunately the island was still quite far away, which meant that speed paddling was suddenly the order of the day. Despite the kayak sinking deeper and deeper, we reached our destination after about 3 hours. First we ate and then sunbathed for a while, leaving the kayak upside down on the beach in the hope that the water would find its way out of the hole. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/688dbf917f4ae7be557ddf8876747003_large.jpg" alt="It was nice" /><figcaption> It was nice</figcaption></figure><p> The island was really beautiful, there was very little on it, I think only 2-3 houses. According to Google Maps there were a few hotels on the other side, but we didn't see any. The water was totally clear, the sandy beach was deserted and fine-grained and there was even a small forest on the edge of the water. So far the trip had been really worth it, even if the last hour was a bit stressful.</p><p> Unfortunately, we couldn't stay as long as we would have liked because the tide was starting to make the beach disappear. So when we had no more room for the towels on the beach, we decided to paddle home. This time, however, we didn't just paddle across the open sea, but along the coast so that we could stop and empty the kayak if necessary. So we headed more or less at a right angle towards the beach of Nosy Be, where we noticed that the waves had gotten much stronger and the tide was no fun. After a while, we reached the beach anyway and took another short break, but only for about 30 minutes. Since we hadn't checked the distance to the island, the weather, the position of the sun or the tides, we didn't know that every minute of rest would be our downfall.<br /></p><p> We continued along the beach towards AirBnB, and it became increasingly difficult to fight against the strong waves, especially since our kayak was so deep in the water due to the leak. The closer we were to the beach, the worse it got, but the further away we were, the more the waves pulled us out into the open sea. We struggled forward for about 2.5 hours, constantly afraid that we would capsize or lose our sacred garbage bag.<br /></p><p> And then at some point we realised that we would never, ever arrive. The sunset had started, the waves were high and the water was very rough. We didn't know exactly how far we were, but getting to our AirBnB before dark was out of the question. And we really didn't want to paddle in the dark in the rough sea. So we went back into speed mode and hoped to at least get to the beach of our AirBnB so that we could pull the boat home if necessary. The sun was getting lower and lower, we were still a long way away. The sun was setting and we paddled with the last of our strength and with the last rays of light. Actually, we just wanted to dock at the next beach, but the tide was too high, there was no beach. There were just walls everywhere that the waves were crashing against and we did everything we could to avoid being thrown into the wall with the kayak. After a total of 7-8 hours of paddling, we finally saw the beach and docked immediately. We were lucky, it was the beach where our accommodation was, but we were still at least half an hour's walk away - without a kayak. We tried to pull the boat in the water, but the waves were too strong and simply overturned the boat and Laura several times. I think we hadn't even gone five meters when the boat was overturned again. And suddenly we heard someone speaking to us and asking if we needed help. It was an employee of the AirBnB who was on his way home. What a coincidence, because he told us that he doesn't actually go home via the beach but across the street. And he was in the right place at exactly the right time. He really was our savior. He helped us empty the kayak, because it was so heavy that even the three of us could hardly set it up. Then he asked a nearby hotel if we could leave the kayak there, because it was still almost impossible to carry it to us. Fortunately, this was possible, and the three of us only carried the kayak for about 10 minutes.<br /></p><p> I had never been so happy to have land under my feet and to see an actual man - I had already seen us smashing against walls in the pitch-black ocean.</p><p> The lovely employee then took us to the accommodation and invited us to go and celebrate with him. Laura and I were both soooo exhausted and knocked out, but we wanted to thank him somehow and so we said yes. After a fit of laughter and tears and a lot of adrenaline, we quickly showered and then met up with him at Espace La Banane. After a walk of about 30 minutes we arrived at a bar and had a beer with him. But since we were really exhausted, we headed back home at around 10:30 p.m.</p><p> The day was extremely exhausting and I was really scared at times.<br /></p><p> We also made the whole day based on a baguette, peanuts and biscuits :D</p><p> But it's a good story nonetheless (and now that it's over, a funny one too). I swore that evening that I wouldn't go kayaking again that holiday.</p><p> ----------<br /></p><p> On Friday I had to break this vow again. After a lot of sleep and a hearty breakfast of biscuits and jam, we rented the kayak with a hole in it again. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/752f8808f72071e34a57062c79204a80_large.jpg" alt="Low budget vacation" /><figcaption> Low budget vacation</figcaption></figure><p> This time we didn't go far, just to <i>Nosy Tanga</i> , an island that was directly opposite our beach and can even be reached by swimming at low tide. Laura really wanted to go there and so did I, but neither of us had much motivation to paddle again :D</p><p> We set off at low tide and I think we could have stayed there the whole time. But the water was crystal clear and there were corals and lots of fish, really fantastic. After about 30 minutes we arrived and went on a little exploration tour of the island. There wasn't much going on here either, I think there was only one house. But there were really beautiful and huge shells all along the beach. We took a closer look at some of them and then sat down on the beach to get a little tan. After 1-2 hours we started our journey home, it was still low tide so it was no problem to get back (thank God).</p><p> After we had showered, we went to another beach on Nosy Be and treated ourselves to a massage. We really needed it, because our backs and shoulders were really sore from the day before, to put it bluntly. After twenty minutes of massage per person for a total of 30,000 Ariary (about €6), we definitely felt better, I felt halfway like a human again. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/3f08c071cf25aacc469e1c1d4d354bae_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> We did some more shopping because we were going to <i>Nosy Iranja</i> at the weekend (actually all inclusive, but we don't trust anyone here and still bring water and snacks with us).</p><p> After that, we ate properly for the first and last time at our accommodation, because it was always too expensive for us and there was only fish. The food is really good though, so we wanted to treat ourselves to it once. Unfortunately, we had to enjoy it in the dark because the power had gone out again, like every evening. But no matter, here you learn to live with what you have.</p><p> In the evening we packed up for the weekend and went to sleep. Our 5 days with Franck had been really nice, but now it was over... <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/794049eac2b5d160d14601a7280ea42f_large.jpg" alt="The sunsets here are amazing" /><figcaption> The sunsets here are amazing</figcaption></figure><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/b9b6291525d6e6423428fbf3cf6ca37e_large.jpg" /><figcaption>The waterfall</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f8cde1cb4a4e9aaf854ec5490d70e1e1_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Yummy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/0fb22fa57b2769af1b323e76c50fe1b6_large.jpg" /><figcaption>TukTuk</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/5b22385ff5fca555725d29027831c379_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viewpoint</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/facea530720a1a45fe67b58ec21bba28_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Hike</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/704f6a7c8b69451a066148e0a4a0f683_large.jpg" /><figcaption>46th post - Nosy Be by TukTuk</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d1c0e935577bab99212f3445bbf86ad2_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Us on the boat</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d230767fdd625ed4245bbad577c4a059_large.jpg" /><figcaption>All lighthouses on Nosy Be</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6e14db8cae4de4e68a012c0c5983e7ff_large.jpg" /><figcaption>View from the lighthouse </figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/emelile/46-beitrag-nosy-be-mit-dem-tuktuk</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/emelile/46-beitrag-nosy-be-mit-dem-tuktuk</guid><category><![CDATA[madagaskar]]></category><category><![CDATA[africa]]></category><category><![CDATA[blog]]></category><category><![CDATA[reise]]></category><category><![CDATA[reiseblog]]></category><category><![CDATA[afrika]]></category><category><![CDATA[insel]]></category><category><![CDATA[inselleben]]></category><category><![CDATA[inselblog]]></category><category><![CDATA[travel]]></category><category><![CDATA[erasmus]]></category><category><![CDATA[budgettravel]]></category><category><![CDATA[kontinent]]></category><category><![CDATA[tropen]]></category><category><![CDATA[female]]></category><category><![CDATA[frau]]></category><category><![CDATA[alleinreisend]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[emel'île]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 27 May 2024 16:30:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-13.366277</geo:lat><geo:long>48.18215850000001</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[45.

Poiché quest'isola aveva pressappoco tante attrazioni quante Siefersheim, desideravamo evitare di rimanere qui per 10 giorni. Per fortuna, non avevamo ancora pagato nulla e potevamo comunicare la notizia poco piacevole al nostro ospite. Lui era piuttosto infastidito, ma non poteva fare molto riguardo la nostra decisione. Così, da dieci a tre notti è stato accorciato il soggiorno.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/b30462f67615896525ef760c6598da64_small.jpg' /><figcaption>Un delizioso Coco Punch da una noce di cocco</figcaption></figure><p>Pianificavamo di fare un'escursione il 17, ma poi ci siamo imbattuti in altri turisti (fino a quel momento eravamo gli unici qui, dato che non c'era molto da fare), che ci raccontarono di un parco dei lemuri. Inoltre, avevano fatto un tour in kayak il giorno precedente e ci hanno rivelato da dove avevano preso i kayak.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6cbc0ff04f06a814c4a1be5332e5f112_small.jpg' /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Abbiamo quindi abbandonato i nostri piani di escursione e ci siamo messi alla ricerca del parco dei lemuri, trovandolo relativamente in fretta. Per farlo, dovevamo attraversare il piccolo villaggio (il più grande dell'isola, per la cronaca - 4000 abitanti). Arrivati al parco, siamo stati subito adottati da una guida e ci siamo messi in marcia. Dopo circa 10 minuti, siamo arrivati ai lemuri. Ciò che né Laura né io ci aspettavamo era che avrebbero iniziato a arrampicarsi su di noi. È stato davvero il culmine, erano così soffici e anche molto teneri, ma super forti e con una presa incredibile.<br /></p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6314c88c4d4f25026b67d61e6671a91e_small.jpg' /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Oltre ai lemuri, abbiamo anche interagito con un serpente e tre tartarughe (una delle quali si chiamava Pablo Escobar).</p><p>Il collo della tartaruga si sente più o meno come immagino un pene di elefante. Comunque ero sollevato quando abbiamo finalmente smesso di accarezzarli.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/73e80b6cd859ffc26e2c01aefa374237_small.jpg' /><figcaption>Entusiasmo</figcaption></figure><p>Quando Laura aveva il serpente attorno al collo, si è svolta la seguente conversazione:</p><p><i>Laura: Quando ha mangiato l'ultima volta?</i></p><p><i>Guida: Una settimana fa.</i></p><p><i>Laura: Quanto spesso mangiano così?</i></p><p><i>Guida: Una volta alla settimana.</i></p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/577a61a596be3d9e72e8176682fe732a_small.jpg' /><figcaption>Ancora più entusiasmo</figcaption></figure><p>Fortunatamente siamo usciti dal parco ancora non digeriti dopo circa un'ora e siamo stati davvero felici.</p><p>Successivamente abbiamo mangiato uno spuntino e ci siamo messi alla ricerca dei kayak. Le indicazioni erano piuttosto scarne, ma dopo un po' la nostra ricerca ha avuto successo.</p><p>Così siamo saliti in due su un kayak per una persona e abbiamo iniziato a remare con impegno. La prima meta era una mini-isola proprio di fronte.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f33934c28689573e16cae55230f4d987_small.jpg' /><figcaption>Via con il viaggio</figcaption></figure><p>Su quest'isola, dopo alcuni problemi di governo e grande panico di essere travolti da una nave da crociera, siamo davvero arrivati. Qui c'erano molte conchiglie, un po' di sabbia e nient'altro. Siamo andati a fare un po' di nuoto e abbiamo raccolto le nostre conchiglie preferite, da cui volevamo fare una collana in seguito, e siamo tornati sulla nostra instabile scodella. Questa volta siamo andati - sorpresa - verso un'altra isola. Pensavamo che qui ci sarebbe stata la stessa esperienza di prima, cioè nulla. Ma ci sbagliavamo: già nei primi metri dell'isola ci siamo imbattuti in ossa umane. E qualche metro più avanti in un vecchio cimitero.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/181b9faad8d7ff92f8341dd22d475ed7_small.jpg' /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Questo fa davvero un certo effetto quando si trova nel bel mezzo dell'Oceano Indiano su un'isola deserta. Ma abbiamo naturalmente deciso di rimanere e di esplorare un po' fino a quando non abbiamo scoperto anche due tombe per bambini. A quel punto abbiamo deciso di tornare indietro prima di doverci rimanere al buio.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a1a36a3760fda7b2a13a233af26934e3_small.jpg' /><figcaption>Una delle tombe</figcaption></figure><p>Dopo una riuscita e avvincente escursione in kayak, siamo tornati al ristorante e poi a letto.</p><p>----------</p><p>Come già accennato, le attività ricreative a <i>Nosy Komba</i> sono piuttosto limitate. Abbiamo quindi deciso di trascorrere la giornata in kayak. Prima, però, siamo passati brevemente dal villaggio, dove si stava svolgendo il più grande evento dell'anno su <i>Nosy Komba</i>: il Maki Run. Si tratta di una corsa di 10 km o 24 km ed è apparentemente un ulteriore evento per tutti sull'isola. C'erano musica, danzatori e corridori ovunque. Questi ultimi arrivavano talvolta con sandali, Crocs o addirittura a piedi nudi e collassavano praticamente dopo il traguardo. Ma sono stati festeggiati come dei veri eroi.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f2380960bd51cbb930ed731a30aaf761_small.jpg' /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Dopo aver assistito un po' a questo spettacolo, abbiamo noleggiato di nuovo una barchetta e ci siamo avventurati nel mare aperto. O meglio, abbiamo tentato di circumnavigare l'isola. Durante questa circumnavigazione abbiamo notato che al di fuori del nostro hotel, dove non c'era nulla, nel resto dell'isola non c'era davvero nulla. Solo acqua, spiaggia e verde. Nessuna casa, nessuna persona, niente.</p><p>Dopo alcune ore, abbiamo dovuto constatare che 1,5 litri d'acqua e una colazione non sono buone premesse per una tour in kayak di circa 8 ore per due persone a 32 °C. Fortunatamente, ci siamo imbattuti nell'unico hotel che si può trovare nella parte orientale dell'isola, il <i>Komba on the rocks</i>.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f811328ef8d56d9336bac2d4aee43c77_small.jpg' /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Siamo quindi scesi a terra e abbiamo chiesto se potevamo avere qualcosa da bere e da mangiare. In effetti, l'hotel era chiuso per non ospiti, ma a quanto pare eravamo così provati che la gentile signora ci ha comunque portato una Sprite, dell'acqua e un hamburger. Ci ha anche fatto pagare a caro prezzo, ma onestamente non avevamo alternative. Le abbiamo chiesto se avremmo visto qualcosa di bello se avessimo continuato a girare attorno all'isola. Ci ha consigliato di tornare indietro.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c031a770676e1ee5afb0f9c1e9029254_small.jpg' /><figcaption>Cibo salvifico</figcaption></figure><p>Detto fatto, e dopo circa 4-5 ore di kayak siamo tornati al nostro hotel. Poiché il giorno dopo volevamo partire, abbiamo cenato nel nostro hotel e chiesto come tornare. La gentile cameriera ci ha rivelato che alle 6h30 sarebbe partito un <i>bateau commun</i>, una specie di autobus-barca. Questo costerebbe circa 20.000 Ariary, mentre l'hotel ci aveva fatto pagare 160.000 Ariary per il trasporto in barca. Così l'abbiamo ringraziata per il suggerimento, abbiamo sistemato le valigie e ci siamo andati a letto.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8866e6ab7f81fcb0d015a46abd5782c9_large.jpg' alt='Un'ultimo bellissimo tramonto su Nosy Komba' /><figcaption>Un'ultimo bellissimo tramonto su Nosy Komba</figcaption></figure><p><br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/577a61a596be3d9e72e8176682fe732a_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Ancora più entusiasmo</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/73e80b6cd859ffc26e2c01aefa374237_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Entusiasmo</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/b30462f67615896525ef760c6598da64_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Un delizioso Coco Punch da una noce di cocco</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/30bde6cdaeef455d79d42208874cc6fe_large.jpg" /><figcaption>45.

I problemi sono iniziati non appena siamo atterrati su <i>Nosy Be</i>: ancora sulla pista, ho perso dei soldi perché avevo dimenticato di tenere il mio cellulare in modalità aereo, e nei 5 minuti prima di accorgermene, erano evidentemente arrivate delle notifiche del valore di 50€ :D Beh, che peccato, ho pensato, colpa mia. Andiamo avanti.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/81e4b3df3fae3e62edfb88f4e9ea67bb_small.jpg' />        <figcaption>Era buono</figcaption></figure><p>Arrivati al piccolo aeroporto, abbiamo dovuto constatare che qui non si poteva acquistare una SIM e che non c'era WLAN, quindi Internet o chiamate erano impossibili per il momento. Al banco dell'immigrazione siamo stati gli ultimi, poiché non avevamo compilato i nostri moduli di ingresso per mancanza di penne. Ma poi, all'improvviso, è iniziato il caos: abbiamo compilato il modulo e siamo stati rapidamente messi nella corsia preferenziale dalle due impiegate (presumibilmente si preoccupavano per due giovani ragazze bianche che non riuscivano nemmeno a portare una penna). Sia per i nostri visti che per i bagagli e alla dogana, siamo stati fatti passare avanti a tutti e siamo stati i primi ad andare. Poi, a passo veloce, abbiamo seguito la gentile signora che ci ha portato a una macchina privata di scarso valore con un uomo a bordo. A quel punto non eravamo sicuri se quella fosse la corsia preferenziale per l'hotel o quella per il traffico di esseri umani. Poi, all'improvviso, è comparsa una donna anziana con un cappello che ha aperto la sua borsa stracolma di banconote Ariary davanti a noi e ha cambiato euro in ariary con noi, il tutto davanti agli occhi dell'impiegata. È stato così veloce che non ho nemmeno potuto contare.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d8808cdff79b985611aca5e6437c677c_small.jpg' />        <figcaption>Inizia il viaggio</figcaption></figure><p>Così ci siamo trovati a sedere, dopo aver compilato i documenti d'ingresso, in una macchina scadente con un uomo sconosciuto, con lo spray al pepe ben saldo in mano. Stavamo andando verso la capitale Hellville per acquistare una SIM. Sfortunatamente, era mezzogiorno e tutto era chiuso, per cui siamo andati ad aspettare con il nostro tassista sconosciuto in un ristorante. Lì abbiamo mangiato qualcosa e lo abbiamo fatto chiamare al nostro hotel per capire quando saremmo potuti arrivare. Risposta: mai, l'hotel non esisteva da anni.</p><p>Così ci siamo trovati seduti in un ristorante su un'isola malgascia con un uomo sconosciuto, senza fissa dimora.<br /></p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/de501546db2f8ffd25e6fdca46b53206_small.jpg' />        <figcaption>La vista dal ristorante era sicuramente migliore delle notizie</figcaption></figure><p>Abbiamo quindi prenotato il primo hotel che aveva WLAN e che fosse economico. Era anche a posto, eccetto per il fatto che purtroppo si trovava sull'isola sbagliata. Ci siamo fatti portare da Mister Taxi al porto (se così si può chiamare) e abbiamo aspettato il secondo uomo sconosciuto che sarebbe dovuto arrivare entro i prossimi 30 minuti su una barca verde. Tuttavia, il nostro autista ci ha lasciati da soli, il che ha reso l'attesa piuttosto spaventosa.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/447bfdc87c006a76214c151ed913862b_small.jpg' />        <figcaption>Su quella barca l'umore è migliorato</figcaption></figure><p>Ma lui è effettivamente arrivato e ci ha portato al nostro nuovo hotel su <i>Nosy Komba</i>. Il viaggio in barca è durato circa 15 minuti e siamo approdati direttamente davanti all'hotel (<i>Chez Yolande</i>). Lì ci hanno accolti calorosamente, ma ci hanno subito invitati a rimanere 10 giorni. Abbiamo acconsentito anche per risparmiare un po' di soldi (dopotutto avevamo perso i 200€ per l'hotel originale). Ci è stato offerto di pagare il giorno dopo, il che si sarebbe rivelato molto utile in seguito.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d2c56049eaf5d1a197e761aca37d2b0f_small.jpg' />        <figcaption>Stava calcolando quanto denaro potesse estorcerci</figcaption></figure><p>Dopo una lunga discussione con il proprietario riguardo le camere e tutto il resto, ci siamo diretti a vedere un po' l'ovest dell'isola. Lì ci siamo stesi sulla spiaggia e abbiamo guardato il tramonto. Sulla strada di ritorno all'hotel, ci siamo fermati in un ristorante e abbiamo cenato.<br /></p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8569ed62dcfd03448b820a53178d999f_small.jpg' />        <figcaption>La camera era in realtà piuttosto carina</figcaption></figure><p>Verso le 21:00 siamo crollati a letto e siamo stati semplicemente felici di avere un tetto sopra la testa.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d8808cdff79b985611aca5e6437c677c_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Inizia il viaggio</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/de8d06a306e018df75c5ca51458aa777_large.jpg" /><figcaption>44.

At the same time we met our guide for today's old town tour of <i>Antananarivo</i> . </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c79363ef5ff89cd2d1eaf86019e68d95_small.jpg" /><figcaption> coffee with a view</figcaption></figure><p> We went there straight after coffee and it was really very interesting. We were able to see the different architectural styles throughout the centuries, the Royal Palace and some other highlights. The old town is the richer part of Tana, and that was clear in my opinion. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/fa9aa391ad7c29d762960b41346ad17d_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Old wooden house in Tana</figcaption></figure><p> We therefore took a detour to a somewhat poorer area so as not to take the wrong impression home with us. That was really very impressive again. After about 3 hours of guiding, we arrived back at the hotel slightly red.</p><p> There we finally packed up our things and went out for some ice cream - Nina had been craving it the whole trip. However, it's usually not that easy to get some here because the cooling would be far too expensive. The ice cream here was even better! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9d060e9cb0758aebc6930d27a52c1a8a_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> We then quickly went to a souvenir shop to get the last gifts for our loved ones. Then Michel suddenly disappeared there for some time and we didn't know where to go, but the secret was soon to be revealed... </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4ab615e94ad51e170b641c83ca77c10c_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Transport to the airport</figcaption></figure><p> We were really lucky on the way to the airport because there weren't nearly as many traffic jams as the day before. The big farewell to Michel was at the airport. But first he took a small brown box out of the car and handed it to me with a big grin. So I opened it and found: a tiny little turtle!! While we were in the gift shop, he drove to his house to pick up the little one. Of course he knows that I had developed a turtle fable and really wanted to show me this mini turtle species. Sooooo cute! Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take them with me :D </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/e8a9802116a364426dd29bcfac260a16_small.jpg" /><figcaption> mini tortueeee</figcaption></figure><p> We then all hugged each other and went to check-in. Everything went smoothly there, so we bought something to eat and waited for the flight to take off. First I had to say goodbye to Edi because he was taking a flight to Mauritius. The three of us then waited for our plane, which was unfortunately delayed by an hour due to the weather. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a4c961f7a1ee4b8852c2680ce540e421_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Arrival on Reunion Island</figcaption></figure><p> Of course, at some point we also took off and were expected by Tobias at the airport after a 1.5 hour flight. He was so kind and picked us up because there are no buses at that hour.</p><p> I have to be honest, it's an incredibly strange feeling to come back from vacation and somehow still not be home... </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/fb6c725c7adfae39b24d885ab8784ae1_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> <b><i>Conclusion Madagascar</i></b></p><p> I enjoyed this trip incredibly much.</p><p> It started out exciting in itself, as I didn't know much about Madagascar before, nor did I know our guide, nor did I really know my fellow travelers. Many uncertain aspects that I simply got involved in - with success!</p><p> Madagascar is a diverse and fascinating country. As the second poorest country in the world, you see a lot of suffering and poverty, <i>la misère</i> . That was sometimes difficult for me to bear, but there's nothing you can do. Long-term help cannot be provided by one person. I kept telling myself that. I found it very interesting that the people here seem quite happy, they help each other and respect each other. They share what little they have. And they were very open-minded and friendly towards us tourists, which made me very happy. I didn't want to be perceived as a "rich white egotist."</p><p> Nevertheless, it was sometimes very clear that completely different cultures meet here. A man traveling with three women and none of them are his girlfriend? And everyone always sleeps in the same room, sometimes in the same bed? Absolutely unthinkable here. And we heard that often. However, I was very fascinated by the culture and language of Madagascar and I would like to continue exploring it.</p><p> The landscape was also breathtaking. It was a big contrast to <i>La Réunion</i> , just in size. It's been a long time since I've been able to look so far without seeing the sea. It was also very varied, it felt like you were in a completely different environment every 100km. Jungle, desert, stone, beach, ... Simply fantastic!</p><p> I definitely want to go there again (or several times...) because it has a magic all of its own. I'm also still missing the north and the east, and I'd like to see that. But only when I can say more than <i>Mora Mora</i> , <i>Salama</i> and <i>Misaotra</i> :D Then I would like to go on less of a luxury holiday and be more with the people there, because this distance between me and them often felt a little wrong to me. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8d36f0fe7f14ed028b3dfd83426dadcd_small.jpg" /><figcaption> beautiful flowers</figcaption></figure><p> It is a land of ambivalence, diversity, discovery and life - a second <i>Ile Intense</i> !<br /></p><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/fa9aa391ad7c29d762960b41346ad17d_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Old wooden house in Tana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4ab615e94ad51e170b641c83ca77c10c_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Transport to the airport</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c79363ef5ff89cd2d1eaf86019e68d95_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Coffee with a view</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9d060e9cb0758aebc6930d27a52c1a8a_large.jpg" /><figcaption>28th post - Goodbye Madagascar</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a4c961f7a1ee4b8852c2680ce540e421_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Beautiful flowers</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8d36f0fe7f14ed028b3dfd83426dadcd_large.jpg" /><figcaption>28th post - Goodbye Madagascar</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/fb6c725c7adfae39b24d885ab8784ae1_large.jpg" /><figcaption>28th post - Goodbye Madagascar</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/emelile/28-beitrag-tschuess-madagaskar</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/emelile/28-beitrag-tschuess-madagaskar</guid><category><![CDATA[africa]]></category><category><![CDATA[afrique]]></category><category><![CDATA[afrika]]></category><category><![CDATA[antananarivo]]></category><category><![CDATA[tana]]></category><category><![CDATA[madagascar]]></category><category><![CDATA[madagaskar]]></category><category><![CDATA[mada]]></category><category><![CDATA[974]]></category><category><![CDATA[reunion]]></category><category><![CDATA[france]]></category><category><![CDATA[erasmus]]></category><category><![CDATA[voyage]]></category><category><![CDATA[reisen]]></category><category><![CDATA[blog]]></category><category><![CDATA[reiseblog]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[emel'île]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 22 Dec 2023 18:46:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-18.766947</geo:lat><geo:long>46.869107</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[27.

Beitrag - Ifaty</figcaption></figure><p><b><i>Ifaty Day 1 - Sunday</i></b></p><p> After breakfast we wanted to look directly at the sea, as it was only a two-minute walk from our bungalow. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9a1631a897cd194de9e3fe2b1bae4dac_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> However, I was quite disappointed, because unfortunately neither the beach nor the water were particularly clean, nor was it possible to relax: as soon as you set foot on the sand, you were surrounded by children, sellers or supposed guides, all of whom wanted to sell you something could not be shaken off. So after about 30 minutes I switched from sea to pool. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4e946255065db002d1873f260f60e9b5_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After sleeping and tanning and swimming there for a long time, I quickly freshened up for the day's activity: visiting the <i>forêt de baobab</i> . So at 3:30 p.m. we got into a carriage with two <i>zébu</i> and drove about 30 minutes to the baobabs. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/7f512cc512aed4734f99c8e2fa59057a_large.jpg" alt="coach" /><figcaption> coach</figcaption></figure><p> On the one hand, it was a cool experience and I really enjoyed it, but on the other hand, I felt very sorry for the animals and, of course, we were laughed at by all the locals. It couldn't be more touristy.</p><p> When we arrived at our destination, we took a guided tour for about an hour through the forest full of baobabs and medicinal plants, which was really incredibly interesting. Our guide's father was a village healer, which is why he was really able to show and explain a lot to us. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f56f275efddda42dedc301f10c9e914c_large.jpg" alt="10,000 year old baobab with a circumference of 10m" /><figcaption> 10,000 year old baobab with a circumference of 10m</figcaption></figure><p> We then took the carriage back to the village, where we looked at a market and even bought some fruit. The prices for the locals (our guide bought for us) are incredibly cheap in some cases: 4 mangos for the equivalent of around 5ct etc. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/32c9019447bc280d46757b86144d73ac_large.jpg" alt="market" /><figcaption> market</figcaption></figure><p> We then took a short walk through the village, which was quite exciting as we hadn't really done anything like that before. We walked past our guide's house and he introduced us to his wife and his property. I would love to see Michel's house and get to know his wife and children! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d058e79d13b696eb084a4dcd9a751c44_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> We arrived back at the hotel just in time for sunset, sat on the beach and enjoyed the fabulous view. So the day ended in a relaxed way with card games and dinner.</p><p><br /></p><p> <b><i>Ifaty Day 2 - Monday</i></b></p><p> Today we had to get out of bed a little earlier: At 7:45 a.m. we took an old boat (" <i>Pirogue à voile</i> ") out to sea to snorkel. Just driving the boat was a lot of fun and it was exciting to see what a non-industrially manufactured sail (boat) could look like. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/fe08e9fb2ef0afea9f6bc9fd2574bad0_large.jpg" alt="Pirogue" /><figcaption> Pirogue</figcaption></figure><p> A few kilometers from our hotel, the other three were busy snorkeling while I chilled out in the water on the boat and sunbathed. Of course, I also tried snorkeling, but I quickly realized that my fear of water didn't allow me to do it stress-free. And who wants stress on vacation? I still really enjoyed the whole thing and was actually pretty happy that I was able to swim and relax in the open sea. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/74b3383de4fd5a9a568e1972be09b9c1_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After about an hour we drove on to another beach, where we docked and rested. Meanwhile, our guide prepared two fresh fish as well as chicken and vegetables for us. Sooo delicious! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/055822cf5a7f74adac386a42df295ad6_large.jpg" alt="Eating on the beach" /><figcaption> Eating on the beach</figcaption></figure><p> Afterwards we played cards again (Dad, I'm bringing a lot of new card games with me from my time here!) and then the sail was set again towards the hotel. You may be starting to see a trend, because once again we drank a cocktail and then chilled out by the pool. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/d4c1fd057581d7210bddb3f88d29dd58_large.jpg" alt="Yam!!!" /><figcaption> Yam!!!</figcaption></figure><p> For dinner we decided to try a different restaurant than the hotel's own, which brought a little variety to our currently somewhat pensioner-style vacation (just saying that is renter-style again, oh dear) :D<br /></p><p> The day ended again with a cocktail. The cocktail counter since I've been in Ifaty has been at five. In three days. But not pensioner style. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/b9155fe915a37cd9407f114f57c82204_large.jpg" alt="moon" /><figcaption> moon</figcaption></figure><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> <b><i>Ifaty Day 3 - Tuesday</i></b></p><p> Unfortunately, since it's incredibly hot in our bungalow and I haven't slept much the last few nights, I decided to spend the night outside. Right in front of our door we have a kind of terrace with benches on which I made myself comfortable. I think the hotel staff found the whole thing a bit strange, but I was finally able to sleep - even if comfort is still something else :D </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2e68a37751d872aa8f48f8bb4a3d9511_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption> My bed"</figcaption></figure><p> Anyway, today was a day of lazing around: After a late breakfast, we lounged by the sea for a few hours. By applying about half a liter of sunscreen per 10cm of skin every 20 minutes, I even managed to look like just a very pale cancer. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/ec2d565ea28572dc438f1946aada4d90_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption> Not a shadow in sight</figcaption></figure><p> Afterwards we looked for a small restaurant on the beach and had a leisurely lunch there before changing locations - to the pool. That's what I call an adventure vacation in wild Africa!</p><p> In fact, there was at least one more thing on today's diary: a trip on the <i>pirogue</i> for the sunset. We actually thought about going by boat to look at flamingos, but that was a bit too expensive for us and we decided to do that instead. And there was actually going to be a bit of adventure on our retirement holiday: We were relaxing and going out to sea and enjoying the view when we suddenly heard strange noises from the boat, as if it was breaking apart. But our companions stayed cool and let us admire the sunset. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4b2f8678190afdd68314ad78ef55e777_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> When this was over, however, there was no longer any delay. The sail was reset and we immediately headed towards the beach. Once we were safe, our guide showed us the problem: While we were out at sea, one of the wooden masts started to break. Not that safe, but hey: a cocktail to get you excited! ;) </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/1ff749c69ddf879754bbe7a723bd8f6d_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> While we drank it we also ate dinner and played cards, then we went to bed. The last night in <i>Ifaty</i> !</p><p><br /></p><p> <b><i>Ifaty Day 4 - Wednesday</i></b></p><p> After another night on the hard wooden bench, we drove towards <i>Tulear</i> at 10:15 a.m. There we exchanged money again and did some shopping in the supermarket and then waited at the airport for check-in to begin. That also took some time, in total we waited about an hour for check-in and then another 1.5 hours for boarding. However, we met other Germans with whom we had a good chat. In general, the airport was more of a tourist collection point, it was super tiny and somehow totally bizarre. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/257fb5e8598185971b0aed7fc8976dd5_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption> Flight scoreboard</figcaption></figure><p> What really hurt my heart was that we still had too many water bottles left and somehow we weren't allowed to give them to the employees at the airport, but had to throw them away... Clean drinking water simply in the garbage can, while people were dying of thirst not far away. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/26287def4cac71b620617350d1b68ae9_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption> Airplane</figcaption></figure><p> Instead of 3 p.m., the plane left at 2:45 p.m. Who would have thought that an airport in the second poorest country in the world would work better than Deutsche Bahn. :D</p><p> When we arrived back at the airport in <i>Antananarivo</i> , we were picked up by a driver that Michel had sent. We were originally supposed to sleep in the same hotel as the first night, but we changed our minds and preferred to be in the middle of Tana, because that is the capital after all. So we drove about two hours to the city center and checked into the hotel. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/7dd1efa56f71fba8e05ea18246eac009_large.jpg" alt /><figcaption> Tana - View from the hotel room</figcaption></figure><p> What I noticed on the car ride:</p><ol><li> What I had classified as poverty on my first day in Madagascar suddenly seemed luxurious to me. On the trip I saw so much worse living conditions that my perspective was completely changed.</li><li> <i>Antananarivo</i> is a real city. Because we were very out of town on the first day, <i>Tana</i> seemed very small to me. But now that we were right in the center, I realized: This is everything, but not a small town. Impressive!</li></ol><p> We then had dinner and went to sleep. We would see Michel again tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. :)</p><p><br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/9a1631a897cd194de9e3fe2b1bae4dac_large.jpg" /><figcaption>27.

Beitrag - Isalo</figcaption></figure>From Friday we were supposed to stay in a real luxury hotel in <i>Isalo</i> : our own bungalow tent with a huge terrace, pool, dinner <i>à la carte</i> and breakfast in the form of a buffet - really extra class! <figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/12ba0f8f4cf90f6a228c1df4a28c3179_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> However, as I said, we slept in a kind of luxury military tent and Michel didn't miss the fun of selling the hotel to us as a kind of campsite. The surprise was even bigger :D </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/048c630d6fb9e323d56c6d7d3eb8bc0a_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> There is also a national park in Isalo, which of course we took a look at. There we learned a lot about the burial culture of the <i>Bara</i> ethnic group, which I found really fascinating. This ethnic group used to live in the national park, but was then expelled because of its creation. Nevertheless, they still have the right to bury their relatives there today - in "transitional graves" from which the remains are then removed after a few years to make room for the next person to die </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c3c18705e8ddc453e5ea715ec4bcc787_small.jpg" /><figcaption> Children's coffin</figcaption></figure><p> Otherwise we admired the interesting stone constellations as well as flora and fauna. To get a short break from the scorching heat (34°C in the shade), we bathed in a <i>natural pool</i> - that felt really good! </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/60264c6763f7d4da0b602b9ee3853895_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Afterwards, however, we walked for about 1.5 hours through the blazing sun without any shade to get to our picnic area. Picnic is a bit of an understatement, there was a 3 course meal prepared especially for us by a local chef. You have to imagine this! However, this is also a small problem point here (at least for me): we are constantly being pressured to eat. Be it twice a day in a restaurant or with picnics like that day. Homemade bread would have done the trick for me too. The leftovers are always eaten by the cook or others afterwards, but it still bothers me sometimes. The food still had a huge plus point: the lemurs came very close to us because they were hungry too - sooooo cute!! However, the chef wasn't so happy when I threw his laboriously prepared luxury meal on the floor to attract the little things :D <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/69db20b19c5561ad34feff862b1d55fd_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> After eating we quickly went to two other <i>piscines naturelles</i> , which were also really nice. However, the weather changed and when it rains it is super dangerous there. Just recently, an entire family probably died there. So we turned around and were met by Michel at the parking lot. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/df4718758ca849d6dd5d2c3c79af05ca_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> We then drove to the Fenêtre de l'Isalo, a stone formation in the shape of a window from where you could watch the twilight - a really nice place all to ourselves. At least until the bus with 16 French people arrived and wanted to take a look. So we went to another hotel so I could play with my newly discovered friends: the turtles!</p><p> When we got back to our own hotel, I went briefly into the pool and then had a cocktail with the other three. Michel went to bed early, but we ate dinner quite late and chatted for a while, so it was after midnight when we turned off the lights. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a276c682e788f4d0d51c8ffb1fc4eee5_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> But that wasn't a problem because we were able to get some sleep the next day. We had to drive from <i>Isalo</i> to <i>Ifaty</i> , which took a total of around 5.5 hours. We drove through many villages where emeralds are mined. The stones are really beautiful and the people there are a bit richer, but there is a completely different problem: As a result of collecting sapphires, all the rivers there have dried up and the people no longer have any water. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/168a1141dc6b4c3db45209c917453224_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Michel told us beforehand that we should fill up all of our empty plastic bottles at the hotel, and sure enough: on the way we were constantly asked for water with gestures. It was very impressive to me that people here destroy vital resources in order to have more money... </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2a7844038e65659d840492737d8afe79_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> On the long journey I was also supposed to see something else impressive: my first baobab. What can I say, these things are fucking enormous.<br /></p><p> We then stopped at the Arboretum d'Antsokay, a botanical garden with 900 species of plants, 90% of which are endemic to Madagascar and 80% of which have medicinal uses. I found that really exciting. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/80e94b493153a64aa667cb973f1f8c1e_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> At around 7 p.m. we arrived in <i>Ifaty</i> , the hotel where we would stay for four nights. There was a bit of a mess with the room, which unfortunately couldn't be resolved, but the hotel itself is still beautiful! We met our guide here and said goodbye to Michel, who we wouldn't see again until <i>Tana</i> . Maybe I shed a few tears... A few days of travel really brings you together. </p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2da3c733ac0d75b3538e9bd0b9884730_small.jpg" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p> Here too we went to the pool again and then to the bar for a cocktail - there should be a few more in the coming days.<br /></p><figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/c3c18705e8ddc453e5ea715ec4bcc787_large.jpg" /><figcaption>26.

All'inizio, dopo circa 1,5 ore, abbiamo dovuto affrontare una salita ripida. Ero completamente stanco, poich  avevo ancora mal di stomaco e, in aggiunta, avevo mangiato e bevuto molto poco negli ultimi due giorni, quindi ero completamente disidratato e senza energia.

Per questo motivo, siamo partiti la mattina da <i>Antsirabé</i> e durante il viaggio in auto di quattro ore abbiamo visitato anche un atelier di lavori in legno. È stato davvero bello. Mi sono piaciute molto le 'scatole segrete', che hanno una chiusura nascosta. Purtroppo ho fatto solo foto di opere d'arte simili e di quelle seguenti :D</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/df04862b563c94e5a0022bd6d0d6f1f2_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p><i>Ranomafana</i> si trova nel bel mezzo della foresta e durante il viaggio di andata siamo riusciti a scorgere alcune belle vedute.</p><figure>                                                                                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/98db793aa489e663e8a94452d1e3b1d4_small.jpg' />        </figure><p></p><figure>Arrivati all'hotel, abbiamo fatto una piccola passeggiata per la città e abbiamo mangiato qualcosa prima di andare a letto (stare in auto è sorprendentemente stancante). La mattina successiva siamo partiti relativamente presto, dato che la giornata si sarebbe allungata e il sole sarebbe diventato davvero implacabile verso mezzogiorno. Intorno alle 08:30 siamo arrivati al parco nazionale di 420 km^2 e siamo stati accolti lì da una ragazza gentile, che quel giorno sarebbe stata la nostra guida.</figure><p></p><p>Sen bbale di indugi, siamo entrati direttamente nella foresta, perché avevamo molto da scoprire! Devo ammettere che non ho scattato molte foto, poiché ero troppo affascinato da tutto. La giornata è stata davvero emozionante, perché abbiamo avuto una fortuna incredibile e siamo riusciti a vedere quattro diverse specie di lemuri in pochissimo tempo.</p><figure>                                                                                                                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/bb9a7d4dbcdcf38f684ff611c34199f2_small.jpg' />                                <figcaption>Lemur</figcaption></figure><p>Questi animali sono davvero adorabili, ma si muovono rapidamente da un posto all'altro, quindi a volte abbiamo dovuto correre attraverso i cespugli :D Ma ne è valsa la pena, perché questi animali si trovano esclusivamente in Madagascar! </p><p>Questo animale mi è sembrato molto interessante, buon divertimento nella ricerca 😀</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/4383e4cda24b767125e2b23730c65380_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>La visita al parco si è conclusa con una 'deviazione' (circa 1 ora a piedi) verso una cascata e una <i>Piscine naturelle.</i> È stato davvero bello, ma purtroppo non sono riuscito a godermelo, poiché avevo forti dolori addominali. <i>[Le righe seguenti contengono descrizioni forse troppo dettagliate dell'attività del mio tratto gastrointestinale, ma questo è il mio blog e racconto quello che voglio :D]</i> A questo punto, bisogna sapere che il bagno non mi aveva visto da circa otto giorni e sembravo già nel settimo mese di gravidanza. Dopo aver lasciato il parco, ero davvero K.O. per il dolore e Michel è stato gentile da portarmi in hotel, mentre gli altri erano ancora a nuotare. Lì, mi ha fatto preparare un succo d'ananas, con frutta di un chiosco, dato che gli europei di solito hanno così forti problemi con questo che devono immediatamente vomitare. Che dire, ha funzionato…</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a0ef10b33c38801039a272752211b28f_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Siamo poi proseguiti per circa 1-2 ore fino a <i>Fianarantsoa</i>, una bellissima città vecchia. Siamo arrivati verso le 17 e abbiamo dormito da <i>Locals</i>. È stato piuttosto interessante, abbiamo dormito praticamente al secondo piano, accessibile tramite una scala. Il bagno e la doccia erano giù nel cortile (un po' scomodo, dato che da ora in poi dovevo affrontare la diarrea, e di notte al buio la scala era un po' difficile). Inoltre, ci hanno cucinato fresco, super delizioso!</p><figure>                                                                                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/8b31b4152e13fdd1dee6eec6d70963d2_small.jpg' />                        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>La mattina successiva abbiamo fatto un tour della città, è davvero una città da sogno, poiché è stata quasi completamente restaurata.</p><figure>                                                                                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6762e1aead50304b820fb3f35fddb36d_small.jpg' />                        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Succedono così tante cose qui ed è un po' stancante percepire e elaborare tutte queste impressioni, ma è così da sogno.

Non solo la colazione era piuttosto buona, ma fortunatamente anche la nostra guida era incredibilmente gentile.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a2aa6db79ecad718f81c66b551442646_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Fa questo lavoro da circa 20 anni e sa davvero molto sul paese. Inoltre, è molto aperto, onesto e flessibile, il che ci consente di organizzare il viaggio esattamente come noi desideriamo (per quanto possibile, naturalmente).</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/6ea22bcd0991adcde3d9633eaacc8542_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Verso le 9 del mattino ci siamo salutati dalla camera dell'hotel e ci siamo messi in auto per raggiungere la tappa successiva. Non mi sentivo bene, stavo combattendo con la nausea. Su cosa fosse esattamente, non posso dire, forse è un effetto collaterale del farmaco antimalarico o anche dell'aria inquinata dai fumi delle auto ecc.</p><p></p><figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p></p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f36d2d17be41b317a7a6f712d6a76861_small.jpg' />        </figure><figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Comunque, ci siamo diretti lungo una strada asfaltata non proprio fantastica e avevo la sensazione di aver bevuto più del dovuto il giorno precedente. (Nota per tutti i preoccupati: tranne un rum, non ho bevuto nulla!)<br /> La prima sosta è stata in una stazione di servizio, dove ci siamo incontrati con un uomo che non conoscevamo per cambiare in totale 600€ in <i>Ariary</i> – un po' strano, ma fruttifero.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/18af8d69dbbdb32c482be353b7087e9f_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Durante le circa 6 ore di viaggio in auto (ufff) abbiamo imparato tantissimo sul Madagascar e sulla sua cultura, Michel parla volentieri e a lungo. Tuttavia, soprattutto di cose interessanti, quindi <i>tant mieux</i> 😊 </p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/1be2d12fe8abae48541abea8eb7112c2_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Oltre a alcune soste panoramiche, abbiamo fatto una pausa pranzo in un ristorante (un hamburger per circa 2€!) e visitato una "fabbrica di alluminio". Tra virgolette, poiché la parola fabbrica dà sicuramente la falsa impressione. Era semplicemente una sorta di cortile sul retro, dove l'alluminio veniva fuso e poi versato in pentole. Completamente senza indumenti protettivi, ecc. L'aria era piena di fumi, polvere e cenere, e proprio accanto giocavano dei bambini piccoli. È stato davvero impressionante, soprattutto quando ho notato di possedere un vaso simile nella mia abitazione su <i>La Réunion</i>...</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/bc4c98c1374df49c73067d2edc4c2d3c_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Verso le 18:00 siamo arrivati nell'hotel successivo e siamo andati a mangiare in un ristorante malgascio-cinese, dove vari ospiti hanno cantato canzoni tradizionali tutto il tempo. È stata una bella conclusione. E poi a letto.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/093ef9ad84246ce77105cc0a145c5966_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Alle 07:15 del giorno successivo ci siamo seduti a una colazione veramente ricca – uova, baguette, yogurt, frutta, succo, crêpes, pain au chocolat, caffè…</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/5fe7404ca1f379c391ce209caddb3436_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Ben sazi, siamo poi risaliti in auto, ma Michel ci ha fatto incontrare due dolci amici nel bellissimo giardino dell'hotel:</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a83802effce774d728fa69db4c71697d_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>La nostra prima tappa della giornata è stata quindi in un atelier di pietre, dove abbiamo imparato molto sui (semi) preziosi del Madagascar e abbiamo persino ricevuto in omaggio cinque pietre.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/82ddd7356b6c92900b9a44c7784f620d_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Successivamente siamo stati in una fabbrica di caramelle, dove una dolcissima anziana ci ha mostrato come venivano fatti i dolci in passato e come si fa oggi (a mano). Ovviamente abbiamo potuto assaggiarli e erano squisiti!</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/2fed923b52af9ad7bc6c1249d44ce583_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Per sgranchirci un po' le gambe, siamo stati poi al <i>Lac Tritriva</i>. Per arrivarci, però, dovevamo lasciare la strada nazionale, il che è stata di nuovo un'avventura. Il percorso non era asfaltato e pieno di buche, siamo stati scossi più del previsto e, onestamente, ero contento di non aver mangiato nulla prima :D Nonostante ciò, il viaggio ne è valsa la pena, poiché il lago era davvero bellissimo e siamo anche andati a nuotare.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/f751d9ccff3605607dfd938d6fd723fd_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Dopo un giro a piedi intorno al lago, siamo andati al lago successivo: il <i>Lac Andra Ikiba</i>. La nostra guida si è riposata un po' lì, mentre noi abbiamo girato di nuovo attorno a un lago :D È stato davvero bello e piacevole non essere soltanto seduti in auto.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/e563718151ba825ae48c3cbe5b6c826f_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Sfortunatamente, poi ha iniziato a piovere in modo piuttosto intenso, quindi abbiamo continuato velocemente (finalmente di nuovo su strada asfaltata!!). La nostra penultima tappa del giorno è stata un <i>atelier artisanale</i>, ovvero una bottega artigianale. Prima abbiamo assistito a una breve dimostrazione su come si produce un cucchiaio di corno e poi una dimostrazione su come si possa creare una miniatura di bicicletta con vari materiali (ad esempio, una lattina e un tubo per flebo). È stata davvero impressionante!</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/0343f7587b5a00643a154b33cff12a45_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Dopo una breve sosta in una cioccolateria (il Madagascar è probabilmente molto noto per il suo cioccolato), siamo finalmente andati a mangiare – la colazione era già avvenuta circa 9 ore prima. Poiché il ristorante era immediatamente vicino all'hotel, ci siamo concessi il "divertimento" di tornare con un <i>Cyclo-pousse</i> – ovvero un tuktuk. </p><p>Tornati in hotel, ci siamo sistemati e abbiamo giocato a carte – una giornata lunga con incredibili molte impressioni si conclude.</p><figure>                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/1be2d12fe8abae48541abea8eb7112c2_small.jpg' />        <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>In conclusione, per i ultimi due giorni qui, ad <i>Antsirabé</i>, posso dire di avere sentimenti contrastanti. Il paesaggio è bellissimo, le persone qui sono gentili, imparo molte cose nuove e interessanti ed sono in ottima compagnia, ma le condizioni di vita mi mettono un po' in difficoltà. Ovunque si vede povertà, bambini piccoli che chiedono l'elemosina e semplicemente una realtà di vita per me completamente estranea. Pago dei soldi per vedere persone giocarsi la propria salute per sopravvivere. Semplicemente perché lo trovo interessante e sono privilegiato abbastanza da poterlo fare. È davvero incredibile.<figure><img src="https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/a83802effce774d728fa69db4c71697d_large.jpg" /><figcaption>23.

Lì ho incontrato Julia e Nina, due delle mie tre compagne di viaggio. Dopo un check-in riuscito, siamo saliti subito a bordo dell'aereo. Poiché come sempre gestisco tutto in modo perfetto (ehm ehm), nel tempo tra l'imbarco e la partenza ho scritto velocemente un esame online, ma purtroppo non ho avuto più tempo per inviarlo.</p><p>Il volo è durato 90 minuti e abbiamo persino ricevuto un piccolo pranzo. Ciò è stato molto utile, dato che non avevo mangiato nulla da pranzo e il mio stomaco brontolava – e mancavano ancora alcune ore alla cena.</p><p>All’atterraggio sono riuscito a inviare velocemente il mio esame negli ultimi 10 minuti – davvero all'ultimo momento, ma perlomeno in tempo. Non vedo l'ora di scoprire il voto :D Ma sono anche colpevole: volo dalle 15:40 alle 17:10, esame dalle 15:30 alle 17:00…</p><p>All'aeroporto abbiamo acquistato il nostro visto e compilato alcuni documenti per l'ingresso. Li abbiamo poi consegnati agli agenti di frontiera, che erano molto socievoli e di buon umore – forse un po' troppo. Perché dopo avermi chiesto quanti anni avessi, mi ha subito chiesto se avessi già avuto una relazione e/o la mia prima volta… beh :D</p><p>Dopo questa conversazione piuttosto divertente, ma bizzarra, abbiamo ritirato le valigie dal nastro e fuori abbiamo trovato Edi, il nostro quarto componente del gruppo. Era arrivato dalla Mauritius e ci aspettava da un po', occupandosi di cambiare i soldi (Le banconote qui sono così belle!! In un contributo successivo vi mostrerò delle foto 😊). Un euro corrisponde a circa 4900 Ariary.</p><figure><img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/ad4c1a920175028496b8f14e8dd1650a_large.jpg' alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>I membri dello staff dell'hotel ci hanno preso in un'auto piuttosto interessante (due leve del cambio, qualcosa che non avevo mai visto :D) e ci hanno portato all'hotel, non lontano dall'aeroporto. Una volta arrivati, siamo stati assolutamente positivamente sorpresi e davvero entusiasti. Era così moderno, bello e grande, non me lo aspettavo affatto!</p><figure>                                                                <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/536762c27123807d1d62a43cd606100c_small.jpg' />                <figcaption></figcaption></figure><p>Quindi ci siamo messi comodi e abbiamo deciso dopo poco tempo di approfittare dell'ultima luce del sole per comprare acqua (e quattro birre) – infatti l'acqua del rubinetto qui non è potabile.</p><p>È stato incredibile vedere la differenza tra il nostro hotel di lusso e la strada povera in cui si trova...

Prima di imboccare la pista di sabbia verso Manja, sfruttiamo ancora un po' la civiltà e preleviamo dei soldi, compriamo banane e arance e facciamo rifornimento. Poi usciamo da Morondava e dopo pochi metri svoltiamo a destra. Dite addio, civilt5!&quot; dice Manantsoa ridendo. Attraversiamo un ponte molto improvvisato fatto di assi di legno e ci ritroviamo nel nulla. Per molto tempo vediamo solo paesaggi di campagna, piccoli villaggi e di tanto in tanto un fiume da attraversare. A ogni fiume più grande c'è una piccola barriera e il capofamiglia del villaggio raccoglie una piccola mancia. 2000-5000 Ariary, a seconda della larghezza del fiume e della sua capacità di persuasione. Di solito ci sono anche 10-20 bambini che ballano attorno a lui chiedendoci caramelle o regali. Sì, in ogni caso le famiglie qui hanno davvero molti bambini. Ridono, salutano, urlano e ci inseguono con l'auto. Di solito gridano finché non gli salutiamo dal finestrino, e allora salutano ridendo e tornano a giocare. Ma guai a non salutare. Solo raramente i bambini si avvicinano all'auto chiedendo qualcosa, di solito sono villaggi che si trovano veramente nel nulla e spesso non hanno nemmeno un fiume o acqua nelle vicinanze. Si nota rapidamente: più vicino è un fiume, più sono soddisfatti e anche <figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/6408e0292e705798b61c6469ad0f7da3_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nel cuore dell'entroterra 'afovoan’ny ala'</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/eada5bcc704a5afdfcf63a01a69f3b0c_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nel cuore dell'entroterra 'afovoan’ny ala'</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/6b634ff34baee412a9634a66494f9eb3_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nel cuore dell'entroterra 'afovoan’ny ala'</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/4429d71f47ccb9647e5ba37e19fa8b62_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nel cuore dell'entroterra 'afovoan’ny ala'</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/44bd7b70879ddcca102beb1fda1ae3f7_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nel cuore dell'entroterra 'afovoan’ny ala'</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/50228d3ebf0274291152125c6d14286c_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nel cuore dell'entroterra 'afovoan’ny ala'</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/mitten-im-hinterland-afovoanny-ala</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/mitten-im-hinterland-afovoanny-ala</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Madagaskar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 22 Aug 2023 13:24:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-21.4315169</geo:lat><geo:long>44.3212902</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fauna nel Kirindy]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/c5bed4ec7a0b2c49759d53a2c9d8a9d1_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><p>Dopo una notte in cui ho sempre tenuto un orecchio e un occhio su zanzare e scarafaggi, sono molto felice che sia finalmente relativamente umano alzarsi per scappare all'aperto alle 05:30, lontano da zanzare e scarafaggi. Sembra peggio di quanto sia stato, ma in qualche modo non avevo molta voglia di schiacciare accidentalmente uno scarafaggio nel letto di notte. Fa un caldo piacevole e facciamo colazione con alcuni altri ospiti, tutti ansiosi di visitare il Parco Kirindy alla luce del giorno. Ritorniamo all'ingresso del parco e Alfred ci sta già aspettando. Si parte per la giungla. Per fortuna a sette e mezza del mattino è ancora molto sopportabile e freschissimo. Non ci vuole molto a vedere i Sifaka, i lemuri danzanti, in alto sugli alberi. I lemuri marroni con fronte rossa, i Red-fronted brown lemurs, vengono persino a scendere a terra e sono super curiosi. Davanti a una cavità nel tronco di un albero, si siede un Fork-Lemur, che di giorno non vede nulla e ci guarda con gli occhi sbarrati. Non si muove durante il giorno, a meno che non senta delle minacce, e allora scivola rapidamente nella sua cavità. Incontriamo lungo il cammino bellissimi uccelli del paradiso e il Blue Drongo, un tipico uccello malgascio. Riusciamo persino a vedere un gufo addormentato in una cavità di un albero. Dopo l'escursione torniamo al nostro alloggio e ci rilassiamo ancora un po' in piscina, prima di partire nel pomeriggio lungo la polverosa strada verso la civiltà. Ci fermiamo in un piccolo villaggio, dove si trovano i più grandi “Baobab-Lovers” della regione e parliamo un po' con i bambini. Poi proseguiamo verso il tramonto e l'avenue dei baobab. Quando arriviamo lì, c'è ancora molto tempo prima del tramonto e per ammazzare il tempo gustiamo un gelato super delizioso, fatto direttamente dai frutti di baobab. Ci sono anche alcuni altri gusti e io mangio cocco, baobab e guava, molto buono. Ad un certo punto è tempo di trovare il posto per il tramonto e scatto alcune foto, questa volta con alcune nuvole all'orizzonte. Dopo proseguiamo verso Morondava per il nostro alloggio. Questa volta c'è una stanza diversa e andiamo a cena anche qui al ristorante. Apparentemente è molto presto per i nostri coinquilini spagnoli e italiani, poiché abbiamo il ristorante tutto per noi, inclusi due camerieri molto gentili e divertenti e un documentario privato sugli ecosistemi del Madagascar. Per cena ci sono dei deliziosi ravioli e verdure e per dessert un rum fatto in casa con vaniglia e guava, dopo di che la serata è finita e sono andato a letto.</p><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/a6fbe7e98eb8ea49ca89d61ef1bd2823_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/74b0f172b58fab9bb9b9645aaa94db56_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/ecc54951fdf271d7a009d3298fcfcb3e_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/28eb11466eba5623b5231638ebcd6d00_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/c93d9934eefcc7a057771367e3161a94_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/a0d08d1bbba39d26d42e1cc96be5e4ac_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/6caf75516828035a29f4a5019e15d1fc_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/46976df3d5cc5bdf5c157cced4e03fad_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/c6364663bbf8041b0346e078e758ad78_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Fauna nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/wildlife-in-kirindy</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/wildlife-in-kirindy</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Madagaskar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 21 Aug 2023 18:12:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-20.95</geo:lat><geo:long>44.216667</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[Viaggio nel Kirindy]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/9ccc281d9314b5fd4d85ab6cb1998f41_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><p style='text-align:justify'>Questa mattina c'è di nuovo colazione in hotel con vista sul fiume. Questa volta prendo solo un'insalata di frutta e alcune crepes. Dopo colazione, prepariamo con calma le nostre cose e ci dirigiamo verso la foresta secca di Kirindy. Nel villaggio c'è abbastanza movimento e si svolge anche una festa di commemorazione dei defunti, qui però in modo un po' diverso, con molta musica, una colorata parata e senza che le ossa vengano portate in giro per il villaggio. Ci approvvigioniamo ancora di acqua e poi partiamo sulla pista di sabbia. Passiamo ancora attraverso il'impressionante viale di baobab e proseguiamo verso nord. È secco, polveroso e piuttosto caldo. Manantsoa guida come se si stesse divertendo. E in realtà non serve mai un ottovolante quando si può guidare su queste strade. Il mio senso dell'equilibrio è così così e sono contento che non dobbiamo percorrere a lungo questa strada. Incontriamo un branco di zebù che naturalmente ci concede la precedenza e cammina tranquillamente sulla strada. Dopo circa 2 ore ci fermiamo in una lodge dove lavora un amico di Manantsoa e facciamo con lui un tour della lodge e attraverso la foresta. Fa un caldo torrido e afoso. Ci mostra i sifaka, i lemuri danzanti, che hanno un'andatura molto divertente. Poi vediamo anche un piccolo insetto danzante sul tronco di un albero e due camaleonti di dimensioni medie sull'albero. Lasciamo la lodge e ci dirigiamo nel bosco adiacente. Durante il tragitto vediamo un piccolo dolce lemure topolino e i lemuri marroni con fronte rossa. Sono relativamente domestici e scappano a malapena quando ci avviciniamo. Per finire, un lemure fork, il più grande lemure notturno, ci guarda da una cavità dell'albero. Poi iniziamo il percorso di ritorno verso la lodge. Fa un caldo insopportabile e non sopporterei davvero di restare qui molto più a lungo. Pochi minuti dopo siamo già nel villaggio di Kirindy, che consiste per lo più di un hotel con bungalow e qualche residente. Pranziamo e trascorriamo il pomeriggio rilassandoci in piscina, il rinfresco fa davvero bene. Chiedo dell'acqua per una doccia, poiché non usciva molta acqua dal rubinetto, e mi vengono portati due enormi secchi davanti alla porta, pieni di acqua bollente. Bene, non posso fare la doccia con questo, inoltre ho già fatto la doccia con un po' d'acqua fredda. Così ho rapidamente lavato il mio bucato, molto bene. Alle 16 partiamo per il parco di Kirindy per un'escursione notturna. Portiamo torce frontali e spray contro le zanzare e si parte, di nuovo sulla pista di sabbia. All'ingresso del parco c'è anche la stazione di ricerca del DPZ, ma al momento non ci sono ricercatori qui. Aspettiamo un po' che scurisca e poi partiamo con Alfred, la nostra guida, nella foresta. L'atmosfera è molto bella e il cielo stellato è impressionante. Vediamo un lemure topolino che si muove tra gli alberi, un lemure fork che lecca la linfa degli alberi e alcuni gechi, formiche e persino uccelli che dormono, è davvero impressionante. Non sono affatto notturno, ma piuttosto molto stanco. Alla fine del tour vediamo anche una fossa, molto impressionante e sicuramente un punto culminante. Sta rosicchiando alcune ossa. Tornati in hotel ci sono spaghetti per cena e addirittura elettricità nella capanna su richiesta. Ci sono parecchie zanzare nella stanza, ma con la rete va tutto bene. </p><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/5a9ae02218bd563c34c53313327fe1bf_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/9c0b19133cab3e8fe4e8ca997e25c1a6_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/d4a7e86ed4387a47555681334ae12ccf_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/2abb8f2031ab36cf0e677e169892b41d_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/f90ea0310c7b798eae8abf82b20a2298_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/c0f440ef0b444025e567b942b6f6d687_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/b0807e58bcb8100480c3d285bf56c4a5_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/b51b0bd7eb73bb4e654ee73ae5fd6a9d_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/2eca0ae170a711ebe679cb062797eacd_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Viaggio nel Kirindy</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/fahrt-in-die-kirindy</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/fahrt-in-die-kirindy</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Madagaskar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 21 Aug 2023 17:56:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-20.95</geo:lat><geo:long>44.216667</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[L'avventura inizia...]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/40cf1b25c92f7c3def3c48360ba54427_large.jpg" /><figcaption>L'avventura inizia...</figcaption></figure><p>Dopo che mamma e papà mi hanno portato all'aeroporto, la prima sfida della grande città (o meglio, dell'aeroporto) è stata trovare un parcheggio. Ce l'abbiamo fatta, papà è riapparso e ho potuto partire per un volo senza problemi. Dopo il check-in dei bagagli, c'è stato un ultimo insalata e poi inizia il grande viaggio. Controllo di sicurezza - check, controllo passaporto - check, camminata fino al gate - check e via: già sull'aereo in direzione della lontana Etiopia. Sulla strada per l'aereo ho chiacchierato con un collega, che con incredibili quantità di bagagli si è presentato come appartenente all'ecologia tropicale, tema di conversazione assicurato. Si è poi scoperto che era praticamente un vicino di iDiv a Lipsia e lavorava al Max-Planck-Institut per l'antropologia evolutiva, diretto in Gabon. In aereo, poi, sono volato in modo rilassato con un posto vuoto accanto a me verso l'Etiopia. Lì sono atterrato alle 6, dopo un breve controllo di sicurezza e una pausa al gate, ho continuato il volo alle 9, nel frattempo con un'ora di fuso orario. In mezzo a una famiglia norvegese non ci si è affatto annoiati e dopo alcuni documentari affascinanti sull'Etiopia e un paio di pisolini era già tempo per compilare il famoso e confuso modulo d'ingresso. Vengono richieste informazioni varie sui piani di viaggio e numeri di cellulare locali, oltre a vaccinazioni anti-Corona e numeri di volo. Beh, scrivere qualcosa è di solito una buona cosa, in caso di dubbi, basta usare il numero di cellulare tedesco. Alcuni minuti confusi dopo, è già giunto il momento e un paese montuoso marrone appare in vista. Dopo un ultimo pisolino... zack - e atterraggio: atterrato... non proprio elegantemente, ma con successo. In mezzo a splendidi campi di riso e a un paesaggio lacustre di Antananarivo!</p><p>Un arrivato nel piccolo aeroporto, la prima cosa è il controllo passaporto. Poiché ero seduto molto davanti, ero ottimista di passare rapidamente - ho un visto, pensavo... Beh, ma si può davvero mettersi in fila con un visto quasi esclusivamente per i locali? 'C'est seulement pour les passportes malagaches'. Sì, ok, allora lascio passare tutti e mi metto in fila al banco 'Visto'. Ma io ho un visto, giusto? No, no, mi metto in fila con i locali e con quelli che vogliono diventarlo. Peccato solo che nel frattempo l'intero contenuto dell'aereo sia in fila lì. Vabbè, adesso dietro a tutti gli altri. 'Moro moro', pensai, mantenendo la calma. Poi finalmente: tadaa, nessun problema e il mio visto è stato approvato. Solo dopo che mi sono state poste alcune domande incerte (residenza in Madagascar?), ma nessuna risposta sembra essere anche una risposta. Faccio un salto veloce in bagno e raccolgo le banconote giuste da ogni luogo segreto. Ora sono pronto ad affrontare l'opzione che parte dei miei bagagli si siano persi da qualche parte tra Francoforte e l'Africa... ma no! Tutto è arrivato meravigliosamente. Ho avuto fortuna. Quasi inquietante, come tutto questo funzioni così perfettamente. <br /></p><p>Passo successivo: arrivare - emozionante: 'C'è davvero qualcuno dall'altra parte del mondo che mi aspetta? Un'ultima volta attraverso la dogana, che era solo per i locali e già ci sono 50 persone in agitazione, che gridano, con cartelli, che salutano o in silenzio davanti a me. Mantenendo in mente avvertimenti su alte percentuali di frodi e criminalità negli aeroporti, nascondo tutti gli oggetti di valore e non li perdo di vista. Ora l'arte: non apparire vulnerabile, ma sicuro di me, non troppo interessato e per niente cercano di catturare il mio sguardo sugli cartelli. Non guardare nessuno troppo a lungo, altrimenti il trasferimento personale è praticamente già prenotato. Sulla fretta non ho visto nessuno - alzando il mio nome. Ma voglio anche prima uscire dalla linea di arrivo primaria. No, oops: Appena faccio un passo più in là, ci sono 3 malgasci davanti a me, uno ha già preso il carrello dei bagagli, gli altri due mi chiedono qualcosa con curiosità. Secondo me, un dialogo così è avvenuto: 'Quale hotel?' - 'Ti portiamo noi' - poi qualcosa di 'A l'Hotel' - poi MICET (la mia organizzazione) e poi: 'Franka'? ... Ehmmm: Sì?! E bam - già mi hanno portato da David, che sorride gentilmente e tiene in mano un cartello con 'Franka Meyer'. Ecco, impressionante. Hanno fatto tutto questo in 12 secondi, senza che io avessi detto nulla che mi identificasse. Lo fanno proprio nel loro sangue... Ero un po' perplesso, comunque, che l'uomo che ha impadronito il mio carrello dei bagagli fosse già quasi fuori. David, il ragazzo di MICET, sembrava fidato. Gli ho detto rapidamente che 1. volevo cambiare dei soldi e 2. avevo bisogno di una SIM card. Così ha potuto fermare il mio bagaglio dal veloce trasporto all'esterno e bagagli e conducente si pongono gentilmente accanto ai banconi, in modo che io possa tener d'occhio il mio bagaglio. Forse come una madre leone con i suoi cuccioli... Mi sorridono incoraggianti e mi rivolgo tranquillamente alla scienza del cambio di denaro. Porco il mio modesto 250 Euro attraverso una finestra di vetro. Mi viene mostrato un numero sul calcolatore che non riesco a identificare così in fretta e zack - già ho un pacco di banconote alte 10 cm, con 10.000 stampate sopra, in mano. Ok, poi con 500 grammi di carta un passo a destra, per la SIM card. Una volta consegnato il passaporto, poi scelgo la tariffa, consegno alcune somme di banconote e: 'Portable, s'il vous plait'. Beh, mi prendono subito il telefono, digitano un paio di volte su tasti tedeschi come se ci fosse qualcosa in francese, infilano la SIM card e dopo 5 minuti di tasti a premere, tadaa: La nuova SIM card funziona già! Mille grazie e Au revoir. Ripongo le mie banconote nello zaino, annuisco a David e puff: il mio bagaglio è praticamente già dall'altra parte del parcheggio. Beh, David sembra rilassato e penso che l'uomo non ruberà il mio bagaglio. E infatti non lo ha fatto. Gentilmente aveva già messo tutto in macchina e mi sorride. Ah giusto... mance. Molto goffamente rimetto il mio zaino e tiro fuori alcune di quelle banconote da migliaia di Ariary. Lui sembrava soddisfatto e ci saluta per addio. Partiamo, in direzione della metropoli di milioni. Si scopre che David è un grande fan della Germania e durante la scuola ha imparato molto il tedesco. Racconta molte cose e spiega dove stiamo andando, mentre io ammiro le strade colorate, il traffico caotico, i campi di riso e i colorati banchi di frutta. Mi porta a l'Hotel e ci accordiamo per il giorno successivo alle 6:00. Faccio il check-in, mi godo un succo di papaya e vado nella mia stanza - chiudo la porta, respiro un attimo. Silenzio. Sono arrivato. Più semplice di quanto pensassi. Beh, ma voglio comunque vivere qualcosa. Mi cambio rapidamente, cambio gli scarponi da trekking con degli infradito e un top. Metto via bene un po' di soldi, indosso una giacca e via nelle strade di Antananarivo. Il posto più rumoroso, colorato e affollato che io abbia mai visto. Ovunque persone, bambini, auto, scooter, cani, polli, frutta, bancarelle e molto altro. E volti curiosi che mi guardano, sorridono o guardano con scetticismo. Andare con determinazione e sorridere amichevolmente dicendo 'Ciao' è una buona strategia, anche per rifiutare gentilmente i potenziali tassisti. In effetti, non è affatto difficile. Cammino per le strade, faccio del mio meglio per mantenere l'orientamento e lascio prima che tutte le impressioni mi colpiscano. <br /></p><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/c0c51667c0e63c76dcb20c4bfceccc68_large.jpg" /><figcaption>L'avventura inizia...</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/3452c328bbdf828871608efbca584a20_large.jpg" /><figcaption>L'avventura inizia...</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/das-abenteuer-beginnt-14</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/insel-in-der-ferne/das-abenteuer-beginnt-14</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Madagaskar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jun 2023 18:18:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-18.8791902</geo:lat><geo:long>47.5079055</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[Domenica 8.3.2020]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/55b7faa0-6150-11ea-8d7f-f516a2da4a4b.jpeg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Domenica 8.3.2020</figcaption></figure><p>Dopo un volo di 7 ore per Addis e altre 5 ore di volo per Antananarivo, siamo arrivati bene all'ostello.</p><p>È andato tutto come pianificato.</p><p>Le misure per il Corona si fanno notare anche qui.

Poiché fino a 4 bambini si siedono a un piccolo banco, a volte durante le lezioni i banchi si rompono. A Lemurialand, oltre a pulire le isole dei lemuri e preparare il cibo, c'erano anche tartarughe, il cui guscio doveva essere lavato, e coccodrilli che ogni tanto volevano un bagno fresco.</p><p>Lo scorso fine settimana lo abbiamo trascorso a 'la grande terre', l'isola principale del Madagascar. Con il taxi-brousse (tanta gente, poco spazio) siamo arrivati al Parco Nazionale di Ankarana, dove abbiamo trascorso due notti in un bungalow insieme a delle ratti. Nel parco nazionale stesso abbiamo incontrato alcune serpi, lemuri (anche due notturni che stavano dormendo), pipistrelli, lucertole, gechi e farfalle. Poiché la stagione delle piogge è appena iniziata, abbiamo potuto visitare oltre ai Tsingy Rary anche una grotta di pipistrelli, che non è accessibile dopo le piogge.</p><p>Ora trascorriamo altri giorni a Scuba Nosy Be e godiamo del mondo sottomarino, prima di proseguire sabato verso la Nuova Zelanda.</p><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/cd629d60-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/d577b4e0-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Dove si trova il Re Julian?</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/daf77b80-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/de800600-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/e68b8090-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/d193eb00-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/e1c063f0-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/ebce8c50-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/eea2baf0-1058-11ea-a371-bdc9eb03401f.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Lemurialand, Costruzione e Parco Nazionale di Ankarana</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/travelbuddies-abroad/lemurialand-construction-und-ankarana-nationalpark</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/travelbuddies-abroad/lemurialand-construction-und-ankarana-nationalpark</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Travelbuddies abroad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 Nov 2019 14:04:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-12.8955434</geo:lat><geo:long>49.14236660000006</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[Settimana di lezione]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/d9ee2550-0a17-11ea-a0e9-876281091ed0.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Nelle aule scolastiche è stretto.</figcaption></figure><p>Prima di tutto, la cosa più importante: una settimana fa sono nati altri 6 cuccioli, ora qui ci sono 12 piccoli e dolci pallini di pelo.</p><p>Lunedì sono iniziati i progetti.

Una volta arrivati, abbiamo fatto un'escursione fino al punto più alto dell'isola, il che è stato faticoso considerando il clima. Ma ne è valsa la pena per la vista.

Sei nuovo, vero?' 'Sì, esatto. Ciao, sono Anna.' 'Ciao, sono XYZ. In quale progetto stai lavorando? ... Dove hai lavorato prima? ... E perché hai scelto il Madagascar?' </p><p>In un modo o nell'altro, quasi tutte le mie conversazioni nei primi giorni sono iniziate così. La domanda sul progetto era relativamente facile da rispondere. 'Quello sull'acquacoltura, dove di recente è andata via la direttrice.' 'Ah sì, tu sei la donna del pesce! Ne ho già sentito parlare.' Apparentemente, il passaparola funzionava benissimo anche qui. La domanda successiva era un po' più difficile. Con le 7 settimane di preparazione in Germania, ero già un po' sensibilizzato e sapevo che i volontari dello sviluppo di solito dovrebbero avere almeno 2 anni di esperienza lavorativa e i miei viaggi di ricerca e i lavori da assistente non contano. Non ho ancora trovato una formulazione che non provocasse sguardi sorpresi e confusi. Al massimo, alla mia ultima domanda, gli sguardi diventano più compassionevoli. Non capisco ancora del tutto (o del tutto). Non ho scelto il paese, ma il lavoro. Di quel paese non sapevo molto, e forse era meglio così. Anche se tutte le informazioni e i dati non mi sarebbero stati di grande aiuto. Non sarei riuscita nemmeno a immaginare com'è vivere in uno dei paesi più poveri e corrotti del mondo. Tra tre anni forse potrò dire di più a riguardo.</p><p>Beh, ora sono qui. Madagascar. Un'isola di cui tutti hanno sentito parlare, ma di cui pochi sanno qualcosa, a parte il fatto che la natura dovrebbe essere così bella.</p><p>Sono atterrata il 3 marzo alle 15, pochi giorni prima del mio 30° compleanno, con 3 grosse valigie ad Antananarivo. Il mio umore era un po' cupo. Il mio francese era ancora molto mediocre dopo 4 settimane di corso intensivo, non avevo idea di cosa mi aspettasse e pochi giorni prima mi era stato comunicato che ci sarebbero stati cambiamenti nella mia direzione. Come se non fosse già abbastanza difficile l'intero progetto. Per fortuna, la mia guida temporanea si è rivelata molto gentile e competente. Sono stata accolta all'aeroporto e i miei primi giorni sono stati ben pianificati. A causa del cambiamento di direzione relativamente spontaneo, ci sono stati un po' di confusione amministrativa, ma per il resto è andato tutto bene. Il mio passaporto è stato inviato al Ministero affinché il mio visto turistico venisse trasformato in un visto a lungo termine. In pochi giorni avrei dovuto riaverlo e continuare il viaggio verso Antsirabe. Detto ciò, da quei pochi giorni sono passate più di tre settimane.</p><p>Quindi, per ora, sono bloccata nella capitale, Antananarivo (brevemente: Tana). Tana è rumorosa, affollata, sporca, inquinata, come sono tante le grandi città, e la sua conformazione montuosa è molto confusa. Ma in un certo senso, non è nulla di troppo drammatico. Durante l'ora di punta, il traffico si ferma quasi del tutto e un tragitto di 4 km può durare fino a quattro ore, ma in fin dei conti la gente è ancora piuttosto civile. I clacson vengono suonati principalmente come segnale di sorpasso o come avviso in curva e incrocio; in alcune città (sud-)europee il livello di rumore è di gran lunga superiore. Qui non puoi nemmeno andare veloce, dato che le strade sono strette e ci sono buche ovunque. Di notte, il rumore proviene principalmente dai cani randagi e dal gallo che canta accanto a casa. La cosa più stressante per me a Tana era e rimane la situazione della sicurezza, incredibilmente difficile da valutare. Parlare con un malgascio è estremamente pericoloso sia di giorno che di notte, e praticamente puoi essere aggredito ad ogni angolo. Parlando con altri espatriati, bisognerebbe fare attenzione durante il giorno e usare il buon senso, ma di notte sarebbe decisamente meglio non andare più a piedi. Dopo le 18:00, quando si fa buio, si prende quindi molto taxi. I taxi sono generalmente delle carcasse in cattive condizioni, riportate in vita con un po' di abilità artigianale e un pizzico di magia. Queste auto mi piacciono molto, ma trovo ancora affascinante che tutti le considerino più sicure che andare a piedi. Capita spesso che il motore muoia a metà strada e sui freni è meglio non dire nulla. Ma del resto, non ci sono alternative. Dopo una settimana, mi sono trasferita in un hotel nel centro città e ho iniziato a camminare tranquillamente in ufficio. L'unica esperienza veramente sgradevole l'ho avuta con la polizia. Di notte, amano fermare i taxi, controllare documenti e sperare di incassare una <figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/7aa12180-470c-11e8-be64-f3bddea0f2f3.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Un tipico taxi ad Antananarivo</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/b6929700-470c-11e8-be64-f3bddea0f2f3.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Il lago in mezzo alla città è stato probabilmente creato per la regina da uno dei suoi amanti.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/c61d9540-470b-11e8-be64-f3bddea0f2f3.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>La cucina francese domina qui</figcaption></figure>]]></description><link>https://vakantio.de/it/blog/madafranika/und-wieso-hast-du-dich-fur-madagaskar-entschieden</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://vakantio.de/it/blog/madafranika/und-wieso-hast-du-dich-fur-madagaskar-entschieden</guid><category><![CDATA[madagaskar]]></category><category><![CDATA[auswandern]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[madafranika]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 Mar 2018 18:46:00 GMT</pubDate><geo:lat>-18.8791902</geo:lat><geo:long>47.50790549999999</geo:long></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giorno 76 Rodeo Zibu]]></title><description><![CDATA[<figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/4598bd20-5bdc-11e7-a552-8d562cbfabe9.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>E lo Zibu lo intende seriamente, ti insegue se necessario anche oltre la recinzione</figcaption></figure><p></p><p>Alla fine del nostro viaggio, la nostra guida ci ha offerto qualcosa di veramente speciale. Poiché era il capitano di una squadra di rodeo, poteva organizzare per noi un rodeo Zibu nel suo villaggio. Il villaggio è comunque sulla nostra strada di ritorno verso Tana. Non volevamo assolutamente perderci questa opportunità. Da un lato, non riuscivo a immaginare molto bene di cosa si trattasse, e dall'altro, questo tipo di rodeo ha una grande tradizione in Madagascar.</p><p>Dunque, dopo che la nostra auto si è fermata di nuovo, ci siamo diretti in taxi-bus verso Ambositra, il villaggio dove vive la nostra guida. Il viaggio di per sé è stato già un'esperienza. Anche se non è stata proprio la guida in sé, ma la «stazione», se vogliamo chiamarla così. Abbiamo dovuto cambiare mezzo per arrivare a destinazione. Questo è avvenuto nella suddetta stazione. C'era un gran movimento. Ogni autista voleva attirare il prossimo cliente per il suo bus. Era difficile persino scendere, che già una folla si radunava intorno a te per chiedere dove volessi andare. Non appena nominavi la meta venivi tirato in tutte le direzioni, dato che ogni autista sembrava andare ovunque. E chi pensa che una volta seduto su un bus ci sia pace, si sbaglia di grosso. Anche se avevi già pagato per il bus, gli autisti cercavano di convincerti che il loro fosse migliore e che dovessi viaggiare con loro. La lotta per la grazia dei viaggiatori non era rivolta solo ai turisti bianchi, ma a chiunque mettesse piede in quella stazione. Mentre aspettavi la partenza del bus, potevi acquistare di tutto dai venditori ambulanti. Da cibo, come panini, involtini primavera, samosa, dolci e pane, a cuffie, chiavette USB, ecc., fino a cestini e coperture. Osservare tutto questo era divertente.</p><p>Dopo 4 ore di viaggio siamo arrivati al villaggio nel pomeriggio inoltrato. Per prima cosa ci è stata presentata l'arena, prima di essere accolti personalmente dal presidente del villaggio. Ci ha invitati nel suo soggiorno dove ci ha offerto rum locale e piatti tipici. Abbiamo chiacchierato con lui un po' in francese prima che ci accompagnasse nell'arena. In un breve discorso, nel quale si era ormai radunato tutto il villaggio, ci è stata espressa gratitudine e annunciato che il rodeo sarebbe stato organizzato in onore di Berni e di me.

Fummo nuovamente invitati dal presidente del villaggio nel suo soggiorno. Questa volta però non eravamo soli. Anche gli anziani del villaggio e i coraggiosi fantini di rodeo si erano riuniti. Seguì un rito, o più che altro una preghiera, che fa sempre parte di un evento del genere. Infatti, questi giochi vengono effettuati per pregare per fortuna e salute. E poiché eravamo gli organizzatori, si pregò per noi affinché potessimo continuare a viaggiare in sicurezza e senza incidenti, e che la fortuna ci accompagnasse nel nostro cammino. Il rito si concluse con una bottiglia di rum prodotto in casa, distribuita generosamente tra i presenti.</p><p>Fummo poi invitati a raccontare qualcosa sul nostro viaggio, cosa che facemmo volentieri. La nostra guida tradusse gentilmente in malgascio.</p><p>Poco dopo ci congedarono gentilmente, dopo aver mostrato le nostre foto e video del rodeo.</p><p>Così si concluse il nostro viaggio in Madagascar con un ricordo che resterà.</p><p></p><figure><img src="https://vakantio.de/uploads/626ef0e0-5bdc-11e7-a552-8d562cbfabe9.jpg_large.jpg" /><figcaption>Non è affatto sicuro, quando
