[QUOTE=Docjan;1614144]Hi,
One thing that bothers me, Sandflies are there anyone of you that have any experience beeing on the beaches on Nosy Be. Sandflies on every beach? All year round? Do I need protection, repellents?.[/QUOTE]At this part of the beach at Ambatoloaka / Nosy-Be, where two expats were burnt alive by a crazy mob a year ago, you may watch out for those flies.
Many tourist got armed robed by a well organised gangs.
"A number of incidents involving violence and robberies to foreigners have occurred in Nosy Be and in Antsohihy, the port for Nosy Be on the mainland. Incidents have occurred during the day on beaches and at night in crowded areas. In October 2013, two visitors were burned alive in Nosy Be by the local population. You should be vigilant and avoid carrying large amounts of money."

These girls are not polluted by supposed " modern" stereotypes....
It is the reason for which, as I already wrote on this site, I consider Madagascar, as the true paradise in the world for the adepts of Taosm.[/QUOTE]Many thanks for your wonderful report TDJ!
I just happened to run into it, somewhat belatedly. But I am very glad I did.
You are making me seriously consider to drop my plans to visit BKK and Pattaya for my next vacation.
You have great taste in women (your girls are gorgeous) and a great outlook on the proper way to treat your relationships with them.
Bravo!

[/QUOTE]Very funny. Nandoa aho!
Very problematic airline. Just got a mail and phone call from Tana saying my returned flight has been cancel and I can choose any other available date. This makes my ticket an open ticket.
Another issue is that many routes has been cancelled. The most important for me is Maroantsetra to sambava. So now, from Maroantsetra I need to fly back to tana / tamatave and another flight to sambava. Not reasonable anymore.
The format of the online booking has been revised and show you only the available routes. So as illustrate in the photo, when you select Maroantsetra as the source, only Tana/Tamatave can be selected as a destination. Sambava can not be selected!
Next week I will need to make some new decisions when facing the office in tana airport.(The reason why not to book on-line in advanced is the 50% discounts available only when purchased in Madagascar office)
[QUOTE=TheWolverine;1620369].(The reason why not to book on-line in advanced is the 50% discounts available only when purchased in Madagascar office)[/QUOTE]But don't these 50% discount for domestic flights apply only if you fly from international into and out of Mada with Air Madagascar.
[QUOTE=Golfinho;1620455]But don't these 50% discount for domestic flights apply only if you fly from international into and out of Mada with Air Madagascar.[/QUOTE]Correct. And as W. Says: only if you buy tickets at their offices and not online.
But the lady staff is pleasant.

[URL]http://www.madacamp.com/Trek_Maroantsetra_-_Antalaha[/URL][/QUOTE]In Monday I will be in Tana with my buddy a pro kite surfer. We have decided to start the opposite route. The advantage are:
1. Mongering has a HIGHER priority then Camel Trophy adventure. Antalaha is my favourite place to start.
2. I have shown that there is no flight from sambava to maroantsetra but do I believe 100% to Airmad website? No way, I may get a good surprise when face an air mad office agent.
3. i have an immediate connection to sambava. Its better to book the ticket for north to south since Antalaha is a mongering place and better place to wait to your next flight.
"On the ground" report in just a few days. here is some of my working tools already packed. Not sure if to obey Tip number 1 which states bring a rocket pocket. i did it in Morondava but not sure about airport regulation now.
Hello friends.
1) I took my tickets and if no airlines surprise, I arrive in ANTALAHA on Saturday 25 October.
What is the best place to find non pros girls a Saturday night in Antalaha?
I read there is a nightclub called EDEN: is it the place (equivalent to Pandora in Tamatave)?
2) As the flight TANA-ANTALAHA is on Saturday early morning and the AIR France flight from Paris arrives late on Thursday night, I expect to sleep two short nights near IVATO.
Does somebody knows a girls bar near IVATO?
Or a hotel with girls bar near IVATO?
Last January I booked for a few hours of rest between an early morning arrival from TAMATAVE and an evening flight to MAURITIUS in ORCHID hotel which has a free shuttle with IVATO Airport, is very comfortable, with nice swimming pool, but pricey. And in daytime I did not see any girl -only Chinese businessmen and excellent chinese restaurant.
So where to find sweet malagasy pleasure near IVATO?
Has somebody infos?

For 2 nights I think it is worth take a taxi into the center (about AR 40,000) and staying at one of the many hotels there. I would only stay in Ivato area if I had an early morning flight the day after arriving on the late night flight.
I slept few times in Ivato and there is nothing. Just once I got one nice girl in one of the bars brochetterie Chinese owners. There were 2-3 girls but they were "army cock oriented" (there is an important base near the airport). I had just great luck. From my point of view. Don't waste time. Spend 2 nights in Tana. Some hangouts close real late and you can score already the first night.

If you still in touch with any of your ex-GF's, ask her to pick you up at the airport and then relax 2 nights in one of the many Bed & Breakfast near the airport.
After a few days at sambava I have desided to spearfish at Anthalaha. Just like that. Mr john palmer was the fist to unlock the hiden potential of that place.
Sitting in the best hotel in antalaha, hotel hazovola which is 200 meter away from hotel vitasoa. Two rooms types 75 k and 100 k. Swiming pool, wifi, minibar safe airconn and more.
As john said it not hunting its more like a spearfhishing the only problem when you shoot one fish you get two, LOL.
HOWEVER if you are a bigineer its not for you, if you need a disco go to tomasina but if you can use an agressive steet monering techniques then its the top.
Hotel vitasoa charge 35000 but its become a bit run down. For any help go to poul, he works in the kitchen in hotel vitasoa.
Tonihht the disco is bell roz beach. Should be the best in town but let me report on that latter on.
Since the last post of john the only difference in town is the huge number of motorbikes. They are everyware. Girls have them. Remined me thailand at the 90,s.
More to come as my next destination is maoanstera to do my camel troopy.

Thank you for all your comments.
1) Antalaha: No objection to spearfishing and to get two instead of one. In Rome do as Roman do! I am not a dancer, and spearfishing was already my practice in Majunga.
2) Past girlfriend. Too long ago, and in our last email, she had a man who pirated her email and asked me not to write again. In any case, this process (Toamasina girl coming to Tana) is meaningful if you have a trip planned on the High Plateaux and want a trustworthy and delighting escort with no time in Tana to find a new right fish.
3) Thank you for your reference hotel in Antalaha, where I shall have a lot of time as my prospect is about 3 weeks between Antalahaand possibly Sambava.
4) When I think thouroughly about it, and the day of the week, I finally conclude that to be on a Friday in center Tanamight mix many advantages (change money; visit past hotel; check Airmad. And at least a "nap time" or "Friday late afternoon" before a short night for waking up early morning.
In fact I shall try to reach my past good driver of Tana. If he is available it might be very operational.
