Tanny, Nosy Be and the Resort Photos

Our first stop in Madagarcar Antananarivo (Tanny)

From the plane flying into Nosy Be

Amarina Hotel and Resort

That's me heading to the bar.

There's no telling how many chameleons we walked by everyday and didn't even see them.

We found allot of chameleons here in the trees by the edge of the beach

Great photos and thank you for sharing Jann! Loved all the pics of pardalis you took as well.

I hope to be able to make a trip to Maddy before there is nothing left to see, such a shame things are going the way they are there...

Those pics are absolutely amazing, Jann! I'm blown away by the vibrancy of the colors and the dichotomy between the resort and the village. I'm sure they'd pay you to come back and make a brochure for that resort - I'm sold on visiting based on your photos!

So cool(but sad sometimes) to see the way other people live in different places. Makes you appreciate what you have!! The resort is beautiful! Looks like you had an awesome time!

Lisa, The coconuts are precious food there and the aluminum is keeping any wildlife from getting the coconuts. The chef at resort restaurant prepared a feast for us. It was my favorite Thanksgiving ever. All I had to do was eat and I stuffed myself. The chef didn't have a turkey but we had chicken, carrots, green beans with almonds, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green pea soup, rolls and the most wonderful dessert with a variety of sweets on our plates such as chocolate cake, ice cream, praline, coconut cluster and a thin cookie. I have gained weight.
