Tuesday, 14 September ...
DAY 2 I woke from a restless sleep and shallow, with a metallic background murmur and an urgent and tremendous thirst. Puzzled and not knowing where he was quickly opened my eyes and I realized that I was still in the cabin of the plane that took me way to Madagascar and had only been a couple of hours after I finally got to fall asleep. I went to ask for water
and tried to sleep again, it was not possible to do more than a few minutes at a time. The flight was making me forever.
Finally at 5:30, time mangalache, the plane started to descend slightly. Since we were only about 30 minutes from the airport!. On the 6
the plane landed. In this case, the concept seemed to land it acquired even more significance, since it seemed as if the pilot Pulling sharply on track to catch him all the land he could. And it should not be too easy to land a "767" at a small airport as he was appearing for the small window.
After leaving the stairs of the plane and you realize you're on another continent. You've left behind the "progress" and you'll delve into worlds and places unknown.
We entered the airport terminal, airport, airfield had not moved from 2 nd in any country in Europe, and began the visa of passports.
whole process made me very crude, cumbersome and slow. Particularly slow. After more than 24 hours since I woke up and had slept less than 4 hours throughout the journey, all I wanted was to get to hotel, shower and rest. Needed to rest ...
But I could be so easy, and as I say everything was slow and over again. It seemed like that movie where clockwise fall with a blow that seems eternal.
How long will it stay?,
"Ten deys" - replied.
That really put the stamp in the passport, two minutes. Next
window. - Anything to declare?. No. 1 minute.
Next stop: - Ensuring that has the stamp in the passport. - Damn if you just put your partner with whom you share counter for 3 minutes - check the label, my haggard face that coincides with the new passport and visa passport visa putting FREE. 3 minutes. Follow
suitcases waiting to come soon ... ...
Another factor of those who begin to realize the difference of short term ... because from that time until the bags have spent almost 1 hour ... I was about to approach the plane which looked from the luggage area of \u200b\u200ba mere 100 m to say, "and I take mine I do not worry ... but I was tired even for that.
And while both clockwise pluuuuuuun, another second ...
Finally, suitcases in hand we went outside the terminal, which is directly ... the street.
There we several guides wholesaler that immediately caught our bags and we put a garland on his neck and a water bottle in his hands.
Within 5 minutes we got into a small bus and we left the hotel.
And this is another of those moments when the brain wakes up to the reality that is on another continent. The vegetation is different, smells different and even the colors look different.
After a few days I realized it's not that they were different, everything was more vivid, more natural.
You also realize you're not a first world country. After riding on the bus you take the only road to Nosy-Be, which connects the airport with Andilana through Hell Ville, the capital. A road around tres cuartos de isla y que no es más que un camino con un poco de asfalto. Lo que en Europa no pasaría de ser una carretera comarcal que necesita reparación urgente, aquí es su única vía de comunicación asfaltada.
Pese a ser las 7:00 la carretera está atestada de personas. La mayoría van a pie. Otros en bicicleta y pocos, muy pocos en motocicleta. Los desvencijados coches que circulan, más adelante hablaré un poco más de ellos, son sobre todo taxis.
Pasamos por Hell Ville, por delante de su mercado, donde a esas horas hierve ya la actividad.
Por fin tras 25 kilómetros, que por esas carreteras son unos 40 minutes, we reached an indicator to the checkout. The next mile we make a dirt road that goes to the beach.
And finally arrived around 8:00. We quickly
assigned room and told us we will pack up in minutes. We have breakfast in 30 minutes. So just time to glimpse the room, quickly undo the case and breakfast. And finally, back to the room, shower and sleep a little morning nap before dinner.
The rest of the day elapses between eating, napping, the negotiation for the trips / dives see the beach and a swim in the pool.
And of course see our first sunset in Nossy-Be.
And after dinner, at about 21:30 we went to sleep.
This concludes the second day of travel, first in Nosy-Be, which I keep conflicting memories. On the one hand the weight of the flight and the other a pleasant surprise to begin to glimpse the wonders waiting to be known. Well
