Madagascar

May 05, 2011

Until these last few years of my life, Africa in general was just a land far far away that I only dreamed of visiting. Never in those wildest dreams did I find myself sailing a catamaran around the northern islands of Madagascar. The past week has been one of the most adventurous, relaxing, mind-blowing weeks of my life. In the safe hands of Bert, Frederic and Hassan we island hopped around the Nosy Be area of Madagascar on the Admiral Explorer. I was so lucky to be invited by R's family to join them on this trip. We drank plenty of THB, ate incredible food and enjoyed numerous bars of Madagascar chocolate. To work that all off we did a considerable amount of kayaking around the islands, swimming back and forth from the boat and walking/exploring the island's beaches. I also excessively perspired the entire trip (my canadian blood can't handle the humid heat!), which I am sure helped me to shed a couple kg's.

Would I go back? - YES! Next time we want to rent scooters (R would choose a motorbike rather) and drive up and down the coast. Or maybe kayak around the entire island like Riann Manser...too ambitious?
