The next day, dancing girls greeted us at Tamatave, Madagascar. One has a bottle of water on his head and spoons on it. Here, too, poverty is at its peak.
Meat is sold in the open, flies are placed on everything. While crossing the river, our local guide says that there are crocodiles in the river.
Women and children break the stones to be used in asphalt road construction with their hands. The houses are hut-shaped and very primitive. There are too many children. Heaps of stones in front of every hut. They are sitting in front of the children’s houses, trying to earn 3-5 cents by breaking these stones. Their schools are also so primitive that three classrooms are taught in one class. So misery, misery…
From here we came to park zoologique ivolonia. It’s beautiful here, we saw black and white lemurs, island turtles called “Diata” with black shells, cream-colored centers and bumps.
The lemurs are in their natural habitat. The blue-eyed lemurs are the dangerous breed. Cat-sized squirrels, called aye aye, have decreased a lot. The lemurs here usually roam the treetops. The caretakers of the lemurs serve on the tree via primitive elevators they have prepared on the tree. You can choose the Java Hotel and Bungalow Dauphin Bleu hotels among the hotels with sea views on the island.
TAMATAVE MARKET THINGS NOT TO FORGET: Lots of souvenirs made of wood and seashells in the market. Women who became mothers at a very young age, mothers at a younger age who breastfeed their children in the market.
