Madagascar 2004: Ile Sainte Marie (day 19)

Displayed times (last time: )

In the morning we're doing not much more but sunbathing and reading. In the afternoon we rent two mountainbikes for a few cents. We bike to the southern part of the island. All the inhabitants are very happy and friendly and greet us with a smile. The atmosphear on the island is very relaxed.

We reach the most southern point of the island where we run into the french guy who almost went under with us yesterday. There's a picture-perfect bountybeach right next to the airport, which is nothing more but a white house and a concrete road serving as a runway. I can imagine you get instantly in a vacation mood when you land next to such an exotic beach with coconut palms.

In the evening we enjoy all the things the island offers; fish carpaccio, gamba's and coco flambé. There has been a breeze blowing today but it's getting more fierce; not with short blasts like in Holland but constantly. I estimate a windforce 6. I wonder how the Rosina did today...
