Farewell Followers "c ya"

     Well, this is our last post followers. We're going to tell you our fav. parts of our trip. My fav. part was when we went to the new hut house, eating at the "Ball Town", and swimming in the Indian Ocean.(Now my partner is speaking). My favorite parts were the hiking trip and safari.

Resturaunt Reviews

Back in America, we were resteraunt reviewers and my partner was a phatographer, so we decided to go review the biggest resteraunts in town.
     The first resteraunt was a massive hut.It had lots of Madagascar culture and history. I loved it because one of the reasons I wanted to come was for that kind of stuff. It was called "Ball Town" in Austronesian language(spoke in Madagascar). Here is what it looks like.
     This is what I ate also why I'm skinny.
     This is what my partner ate also why he's fat.

          See what I mean, HE'S FAT!!!!!!!........Just kidding,.,.,.,.NOT,.,.,.,.He only ate half though.

Bad Things

      We kinda ran into trouble. We got all our clothes dirty and there was no washing machine, but we didn't want river water in our clothes so we went to the store to see what the Mdagascar style is right now. The most of it was T-shits but the we found some robes that didn't look like they needed washing. We bought those and they were really comfertable. The trouble was out of the way so we went to the Indian Ocean to swim in the new bathing suites we bought with the robes.

Locals

As we were talking to the locals a man ran up and said there had been a shipwreck,we left immediately,but a got a picture before we left .
We got picked up by a van,but 30 min. later it broke down.
After about 1 hour we were back on the road. After about 2 hours we got to a helicopter lift and went to the scene . After a 25 min. flight we got there and here is what we saw .
Since there were chemicals spilled into the water we donated $ 10, 000 to local fisherman and sea food resteraunts.

Safari

Our safari started out in Antananarivo,the capitol city . Madagascar safari
We were in the car and I took this picture overlooking the capitol.
There was a bend in the road and I took this shot of a rhinoceros and the other S.U.V.
About 20 - 30 min. later we saw this elephant,and it got really,really close,I didn't even zoom on this picture .
At the end of the day around 20 miles from our hut a couple of giraffes got in the road and started munching on a tree . About 30 min. later they finally moved out of the road.

Some of the exporst we saw on th safari were vanilla, cofee, cotton, and cloth. We also took some foods for our first supper in Madagascar.

Hiking Trip

     When we got to the hut we started on our things to do in Madagascar list. (1)Go see the wildlife so we took a hiking trip.
     This iguanna was ausome but you haven't seen nothing yet, just wait and look at the other freaky animals that we saw. Now, we don't have enough room for all the animals but my partner is a phatographer so you'll see some pretty ausome pics.





Ariving in Madagascar

           
     Madagascar first, is the 4th largest island in the world. When we were on the plane, I looked out the window and saw nothing but an enormous chunk of land as far as the eye can see!

     I can’t wait to see all the wildlife and agriculture! My partner wants to learn all the languages spoken there. He also wants to see some of the products in stores that we don’t have in America! What also interests me is how they build handmade houses out of clay and mud! My partner also likes how many shops in Toamasina are owned by members of the Chinese Community.
       We have the best hut in Madagascar and this is a fact not an opinion! It is waterfront and everything! It is on the Onilahy River. This is what it looks like. Tell me, Is This the Best Hut in Madagascar?!?
