Nosy Be, Madagascar - A RELAXING DAY (1 of 2)

(2 videos - Panache Quartet)
Our day in Nosy Be started with morning stretch, abs, and church services that we attended. We were in Nosy Be, Madagascar in 2023. See background and what we did at:

Yes, we all know Madagascar from the SIX movies beginning in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Wow, those cute DreamWorks animals were way too popular in the movies. In 2023 we went to Lemuria Land and observed these incredibly fast and strange looking “monkeys” and the over 100 species of plants. We saw dozens of Lemurs of all shapes, colors, and sizes.

Where is it? Madagascar (and Nosy Be, the largest island) gained its independence from the French in 1960 and is located 250-400 miles off the eastern coast of Africa, just south of the equator. Last time we were here we also tendered in and went on a tour that included: a ghost house, a visit to a traditional Sakalava village to see hundreds' of year old dancing and played with the kids, went to a ylang ylang distillery and then a lemur preserve. It is a beautiful island, producing more than 10,000 varieties of plants but we saw a lot of it the first time.

We looked at every tour available on the ship as well as by independent companies and decided we had done everything offered (very rare) so we decided to stay onboard and enjoy the ship, in particular since it was empty. From the photos you can see, we were the ONLY ones at the Terraces and at Tea, how nice was that to have our OWN ship. We had a great sunset alone and lots of live evening music to enjoy!Read more
