First class book of birding
posted 7 years ago
Located at the southeastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize is the only English speaking country in Central America and a great tourist destination for birders. Belize has an impressive diversity of plant life, which supports its wide variety of birds. This book is a gem to take along on your next trip there. Great color plates and detailed descriptions. Last there during a hurricane so opportunities to use the book was limited. Great snorkling though.
Pros: Beautiful color illustrations
Cons: none

Anyone else have this? I constantly have this disgusting taste in my mouth. It doesn't matter how often I brush my teeth I can't get rid of it.
Horrible taste in mouth
Comments (10)
YES!!!! Mine is like a sour taste. It doesn't matter what I eat or drink or how much I brush my teeth. It's constant and it makes me a little nauseous at times. I had it when I was pregnant with my son too. It lasted the entire time, but I eventually got used to it. It was completely gone right after I had him.

Mine isn't a metallic taste its more like a sour taste. it's horrible and I'm so paranoid about my breath too but breath mints make the taste worse lol
Same thing here and drinking water is like putting water on a grease fire, makes it worse. It also seems like hot foods amplify it.
I try to drink tea, decaf of course with a tad of sugar in it since water turns to the nasty taste.

English Costume
3: Women's Clothing in the Time of William the Second
click on the image
for a larger version
Images on this page
© 2000-2002
Jone Johnson Lewis
What did the clothing of a Norman woman look like? Here's one author's presentation of a typical noblewoman during the reign of William Rufus in England.
Source: Calthrop, Dion Clayton. English Costume: I. Early English. London, 1906. This article is an excerpt from the chapter, "William the Second." Color plate and line illustrations also from this chapter.
William The SecondReigned thirteen years: 1087-1100
Born c. 1060.
And so the lady began to lace . . . .
A moralist, a denouncer of the fair sex, a satirist, would have his fling at this. That thundering epithets and avalanche of words should burst out at such a momentous point in English history!
However, the lady pleased herself.
Not that the lacing was very tight, but it commenced the habit, and the habit begat the harm, and the thing grew until it arrived finally at that buckram, square-built, cardboard-and-tissue figure which titters and totters through the Elizabethan era.
Our male eyes, trained from infancy upwards to avoid gazing into certain shop windows, nevertheless retain a vivid impression of an awesome affair therein, which we understood by hints and signs confined our mothers' figures in its deadly grip.
That the lady did not lace herself overtight is proved by the many informations we have of her household duties; that she laced tight enough for unkind comment is shown by the fact that some old monk pictured the devil in a neat-laced gown.
It was, at any rate, a distinct departure from the loosely-clothed lady of 1066 towards the neater figure of 1135.
The lacing was more to draw the wrinkles of the close-woven bodice of the gown smooth than to form a false waist and accentuated hips, the beauty of which malformation I must leave to the writers in ladies' journals and the condemnation to health faddists.
However, the lacing was not the only matter of note. A change was coming over all feminine apparel-a change towards richness, which made itself felt in this reign more in the fabric than in the actual make of the garment.
The gown was open at the neck in the usual manner, was full in the skirt and longer than heretofore, was laced at the back, and was loose in the sleeve.
The sleeve as worn by the men -- that is, the overlong sleeve hanging down over the hand-was also worn by the women, and hung down or was turned back, according to the freak of the wearer. Not only this, but a new idea began, which was to cut a hole in the long sleeve where the hand came, and, pushing the hand through, to let the rest of the sleeve droop down. This developed, as we shall see later.
Then the cloak, which had before been fastened by a brooch on the shoulder or in the centre of the breast, was now held more tightly over the shoulders by a set of laces or bands which ran round the back from underneath the brooch where they were fastened, thus giving more definition to the shoulders.
You must remember that such fashions as the hole in the sleeve and the laced cloak were not any more universal than is any modern fashion, and that the good dame in the country was about a century behind the times with her loose gown and heavy cloak.
There were still the short gowns, which, being tucked in at the waist by the girdle, showed the thick wool chemise below and the unlaced gown, fitting like a jersey.
The large wimple was still worn wrapped about the head, and the hair was still carefully hidden.
Shall we imagine that it is night, and that the lady is going to bed? She is in her long white chemise, standing at the window looking down upon the market square of a small town.
The moon picks out every detail of carving on the church, and throws the porch into a dense gloom. Not a soul is about, not a light is to be seen, not a sound is to be heard.
The lady is about to leave the window, when she hears a sound in the street below. She peers down, and sees a man running towards the church; he goes in and out of the shadows. From her open window she can hear his heavy breathing. Now he darts into the shadow of the porch, and then out of the gloom comes a furious knocking, and a voice crying, 'Sanctuary!'
The lady at her window knows that cry well. Soon the monks in the belfry will awake and ring the Galilee-bell.
The Galilee-bell tolls, and the knocking ceases.
A few curious citizens look out. A dog barks. Then a door opens and closes with a bang.
There is silence in the square again, but the lady still stands at her window, and she follows the man in her thoughts.
Now he is admitted by the monks, and goes at once to the altar of the patron-saint of the church, where he kneels and asks for a coroner.
The coroner, an aged monk, comes to him and confesses him. He tells his crime, and renounces his rights in the kingdom; and then, in that dark church, he strips to his shirt and offers his clothes to the sacrist for his fee. Ragged, mud-stained clothes, torn cloak, all fall from him in a heap upon the floor of the church.
Now the sacrist gives him a large cloak with a cross upon the shoulder, and, having fed him, gives him into the charge of the under-sheriff, who will next day pass him from constable to constable towards the coast, where he will be seen on board a ship, and so pass away, an exile for ever.
The night is cold. The lady pulls a curtain across the window, and then, stripping herself of her chemise, she gets into bed.

We track four people on their journey.
We speak to Israeli Deputy FM Tzipi Hotovely
01 Feb 2011 14:34 GMT | Arts & Culture, US & Canada, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt
Wadah Khanfar is director general of the Al Jazeera network.
This has been an unprecedented month in Al Jazeera history. Transformational events in the Middle East have brought enormous demand for news about the region.
As director general of the region's largest TV network, I am proud to say the Al Jazeera Network has been reporting from the region's hot spots well before they "mattered" in January 2011. From Sudan to Tunisia to Palestine to Egypt, our trademark "journalism of depth" has been on display for all who are able and care to see. Our courageous teams were long ago embedded among the populations, capturing their stories, and helping our wider audience find context and meaning to events taking place at home and half a world away.
At this moment, scores of our reporters are in Egypt
At this moment, scores of our reporters are in Egypt to cover the unrest, which requires changing locations often, dealing with arrest/confiscation of equipment, and reporting with stealth as secret services threaten to jail them. Our journalists there fully appreciate these challenges.
For years Al Jazeera has reported on how the Egyptian population is affected by economic hardship and political stagnation. Other networks may choose to focus on headline-grabbing stories simplifying extremist threats, or framing violence against human beings as merely a factor in global oil prices. Other networks, of course, have provided excellent coverage in many parts of the world. All along, Al Jazeera continued apace, offering more pedestrian, if nuanced, perspectives, even when our home region is not the topic on everyone's minds.
No one would accuse us of failing to forecast Egypt's boiling anger, or Tunisia's for the matter. That's not because our journalists are superheroes - though, if you watch, you appreciate their determination to get the story right. I would posit a simpler explanation for their successes: our journalists exist in the right places and are given the space and resources to get the job done. Most importantly, they have editorial freedom.
Even still, there are many places where we cannot do our jobs. The governments of Algeria, Morocco, Iraq, and Bahrain will not let our journalists step foot on their soil.
We were also banned in Ben Ali's Tunisia. We overcame this through the use of social media tools like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Images of Tunisia's uprising went from local villages to our global audience of over one hundred million viewers. I am proud to say we were not only first, we were everywhere, deploying well ahead of the tipping point, arriving to cover the demonstrators when they gathered on the ministry of interior - a symbol of torture and repression in most Arab countries.
Egyptian president Mubarak closed our offices, confiscated our equipment and arrested our journalists. The Egyptian government has removed Al Jazeera from NileSat, the state-owned satellite carrier, delaying our ability to be easily found in Egypt and North Africa. We have reappeared through other carriers, while instructions on how to find us go viral across the internet.
Elsewhere, in the United States, Al Jazeera faces a different kind of blackout, based largely on misinformed views about our content and journalism. Some of the largest American cable and satellite providers have instituted corporate obstacles against Al Jazeera English.
We are on the air and on the major cable system in the nation's capital, and some of America's leading policymakers in Washington, DC, have told us that Al Jazeera English is their channel of choice for understanding global issues. But we are not available in the majority of the 50 states for much of the general public.
We believe all Americans, not just those in senior governmental positions, could benefit from having the option to watch Al Jazeera English - or at least having the option not to watch us - on their television screens.
We know the demand is there. We have seen a 2000 percent increase in hits on our English-language website, and more than 60 percent of that traffic originates in the United States.
We have seen Jeff Jarvis in the pages of the Huffington Post make the case publicly that many are making privately: While millions of Americans have turned to the internet and to web-based devices, many more millions should have the freedom to flip to our channel on their remotes - especially when the Middle East is on everyone's mind.
Before Egypt's street protests exploded last week, we released the "Palestine Papers", an unprecedented leak of more than 1,600 records of secret negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The Papers were reproduced by a newly formed Al Jazeera Transparency Unit, and became a world exclusive for both our Arabic and English broadcasts. It was also a top story of our colleagues and partners at the Guardian newspaper in the United Kingdom.
Through investigative and on-site journalism, our ultimate goal is to bring greater awareness, painting a more complete picture of the Middle East's realities. Armed with more information, we believe the people of this region and further afield can make better choices to guide their lives - hopefully ones that will lead to a more peaceful and democratic future, regardless of where they live.
We will report the news however we can. If we have to use flip cams in Egypt, we will. If we have to use online platforms in the US, we will.
Yet we will work hand in hand with partners everywhere - including American cable and satellite companies - to ensure that even more people have the option to watch Al Jazeera. Even those with access can choose to change the channel and watch something else.
But the past month has shown us something that America can no longer ignore: millions of Americans want to watch our channel and better understand our region, and too many are deprived of that opportunity.
Wadah Khanfar is the director general of the Al Jazeera Network.

Sketchbook 16 Delirium by Jose-Garel-AlvoeiroWatch
©2011-2016 Jose-Garel-Alvoeiro
lovely idea! Your work is consistent and an emerging great style.
Love this.
such warm lines
Actually saw this drawing a week or two back, meant to comment. It's really a wonderful graphic piece that makes good use of cross-hatching juxtaposed with bold outlines. Also love the mirroring of the tree branches with the rocket's roots. Great concept. I do wish it were a little bigger, so the detail popped more, and I'm wondering if you could have dodged out some of the paper tone. Even so, I can tell it's a nice piece.
Nicely done, Garel . . . if that's a rocket, I hope the tree triumphs.
Excelente y original como siempre

Med Cezir HotelIstanbul, Turkey
A real gem in the heart of Stultanahmet! An extremely clean, well-run establishment 120 steps away from the Aga Sofia, a 2 minute walk to Topkapi, and a 3 minute walk through the park to the Blue Mosque, 5 minutes to the tram. The staff is terrific, with 24/7 desk service and travel services. Very friendly owner, attached cafe with included Traditional Breakfast every morning, rooftop deck, free wifi, what's not to love? As a single female traveller, a marvellous place to stay in Istanbul.
Wink HostelSingapore, Singapore
Really clean and mostly quiet rooms (some noise with movement in and out of the rooms but that's expected). Lots of room in the individual lockers for luggage. Loved the individual sleep pods, and each room was air conditioned. The main shared areas are not air conditioned and that might have stopped people from spending time together in those areas. Staff was terrific, the laundry facilities were great, reasonable breakfast. Location was perfect, in Chinatown but on a quiet street. I'll return!
Baan Klang Vieng HostelChiang Mai, Thailand
I really enjoyed my stay here. The owner was very helpful in arranging cooking classes and transportation and her English skills were very good and much appreciated. Exceptionally clean, quiet, safe, and very well located for restaurants, services and fun. Right close to the main city gate and right next door is a great massage place, and around the corner about 100 steps away is a very good scooter rental place. Loved this hostel and highly recommend it.
Roof View PlaceBangkok, Thailand
Excellent hostel, highly recommended. CLEAN, QUIET, SECURE, SAFE, GREAT LOCATION. What more could you want? The staff is very very helpful with all requests and the included breakfast was particularly nice with a selection of European and Thai foods in buffet style. A great way to start the day. I really enjoyed my time there and will definitely return. :)
Trekkers HomeKathmandu, Nepal
Clean, relatively quiet (you ARE off the main street in Thamel after all), secure, excellent staff. I loved my time here. One does have to keep in mind that this is a)Nepal and b)many things are out of the control of management i.e. routine city wide power outages. I will definitely return. :)
Floral Shire Suvarnabhumi Airport HotelBangkok, Thailand
This is a great hotel for an overnight between flights. As such it's location is excellent and the facilities are great (computer with printer so you can online check in AND print your boarding pass. PERFECT.) Clean clean CLEAN, and the shuttle service is exceptionally reliable. I will return when passing through Bangkok, and this is the second time I've stayed at this Hotel. Lovely and thank you.

Doodle your way to creativity! Watch this fascinating and brief talk on the value of doodling. Like play, doodling gets lost as we move out of childhood, but may be no less essential. She defines doodling as, "To make spontaneous marks to make yourself think."Sunni is committed to moving people into higher levels of visual literacy.
Doodling can be done mindlessly or as a way to bring us into the present moment. It's a way to engage our hands in a meaningful activity, something that we don't usually get enough of during our days (I'm not convinced pounding on a keyboard and moving a mouse qualifies as meaningful hand movements).
In my own creative attempts, I have engaged a form of doodling. I think of it as a faux caligraphy, but these spontaneous marks are just that, marks that expresss the feeling of a moment. This is my recent piece, "108 Approximations of Truth." (oil pastel and graphite on paper, 36″x48″)

On New Years Day I was invited by Daimon Downey and Tim Holmes à Court to decorate one of Sydney's most iconic restaurants, Catalina on Rose Bay. The one day installation inlcuded over 100 metres of vinyl which was cut and plastered over every surface I could see in a confetti style.
"Modern society is fast paced. Time is precious and often neglected. We need to slow down, take it all in and start living in the moment. This mural will inspire onlookers to challenge their perspective about how precious life's moments are."
One of Sydney's largest murals. 'Here, Now' was painted for the Art & About Festival.

Opening night 6-10pm, Friday 1st of August, 2014
On Display until Sunday 10th of August, 2014
Backwoods Gallery
25 Easey Street
Collingwood, Victoria
Having not exhibited in Melbourne for over a decade, Numskull's long awaited return also marks his first showing with Backwoods Gallery. Bright Lights is a series of paintings and sculptures that continue on from his recent residency at the Museums Quartier in Vienna where he celebrated our memories of popular comic book characters by reinterpreting them as a collection of museum busts.
Much like the works from Vienna, where the compositional arrangements of objects partially masked the identity of the characters, this new suite aims to subjugate the obvious. In Bright Lights, the immediately recognizable figures have disappeared. In their place are silhouettes of headless beings devoid of any distinctive personality, anonymous and statuesque. Their bodies are jolted by the blows of arrows piercing their skin as they float amongst a wreckage of irregular patterned objects.
For more information visit the website here.
For a preview catalogue email firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks to Perfekt World, I was recently invited to Vienna, Austria to live and work in the Museums Quartier as part of their residency program.
We produced a screenprint with local print makers, opened a solo exhibition of original works and painted three walls. Massive thanks to Perfekt World for hosting me, Inoperable Gallery and locals Knarf, Fresh Max and Mafia for the walls and everyone else I met along the way.
View all of the artworks here.
Opening: Samstag 22.3.2014, 19:00 – 22:00 PERFEKT BOX, MQ, Electric Avenue, Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Wien, Austria
PERFEKT WORLD is proud to invite the Sydney based artist NUMSKULL to work and live in Vienna for a month. He will participate at the Artist-in-Residence program of quartier21 in March and rounds his stay off with an exhibition at art space PERFEKT BOX.
"BUST!" explores the artists' fascination of the human obsession with beauty and the everyday struggle to keep up appearance. He finds the oddity in human relationships and interaction. From the simplest of personality quirks to the boldest of personality statements. Numskull uses bold, colourful and abstract like forms to create statuesque like figures that project a composite idea of us as people and how we might see each other.

Suburban Spring
Springtime fills the air,
like laughing gas.
(Or maybe more like whiskey.)
The suburbs are drunk on the nectar of it's dawn.
Middle-class houses
are starting to dance.
(Or maybe they're just wobbling.)
They vomit whole families onto their lawn.
I watch them the same way dogs watch TV:
Confused and intrigued,
with a slight urge to pee.
The father cuts grass,
like a sleepwalker.
(Or maybe more like a zombie -
Ravenous for cheap beer, instead of brains.)
A six pack later,
he starts washing his car.
(Or watering his driveway.)
He's spreading on wax so he's set when it rains.
The mother kneels in dirt,
tending the garden.
(More like digging in a sandbox.)
Her spade is rusty. (Figuratively, at least.)
A sunset later,
she cooks family dinner.
(Or maybe orders some pizza.)
(If every mouth is fed, she can call it a feast.)
I watch them the same way dogs watch TV.
The son plays war games,
dying for fun.
(Or maybe more for practice.)
He whines about fruit drinks, as well as the heat.
A full pitcher later,
tweaking on sugar,
(Or maybe just corn starch.)
the war escalates, 'til its time to go eat.
The daughter makes a picnic,
inviting her toys.
(Or maybe not.)
(Her plastic spread can only spread so thin!)
After the tea time,
she's off picking flowers.
(Or maybe weeds.)
(As long as they're pretty, there's a vase that they'll fit in.)
They gather, as a family, at the table to say grace.
They hold each others' hands and say, "Amen."
(And proceed to stuff their face.)
The dog sits by the boy -
Loyal and true.
(Or maybe just hungry.)
He drools as he stares from the corners of his eyes.
After dinner,
he offers to help with the dishes.
(Or maybe he demands it.)
The boy sneaks him a bite. The dog is not surprised.
Bedtime comes soon after.
The kids are sent to brush their teeth.
(Or maybe just to run the sink.)
They put on their jammies, and to bed, they go.
After tucking them in,
the parents watch TV.
(Or maybe they just dream they do,
sleeping in its glow.)
The dog is changing channels,
looking for a better show.
Confused and intrigued,
he pees on the carpet below.

Favorite thing: Ampefy is a nice little town not too far from Tana. Very good hiking area. Small vulcanos and maniok-fields are typical for the landscape here. Nearby is a lovely watrefall: Chutes dela Lillie. (I have no idea, how to spell it! But it is worth a visit!)

Amparaky Geysers
Favorite thing: Aaaah! more than the Liliha watefalls, the Amparaky geysers were a long waited curiosity. I think one reason is my fascination about the ephemeral aspect of geyser. As I could understand, geysers exist thanks to a volcano activity underneath. Now, my all-time fascination was about when it would explode. At least, for that reason, I'm interested in volcano existence proof of evidence.
You just don't know how excited I was when, doing a research over the net, I found pictures of those Amparaky geysers! My folks talked about the waterfalls, the lake, Le Kavitaha but this, no... For one reason, they hadn't experienced it yet. I planned everything to be able to see this. Since then, I counted the days...
That day, as soon as I could jump off the car & upon my sister's "request" to hurry up as having left later than planned (not my fault, in the contrary!) she had to wait until we reached Le Kabitaha to feed MLM, I ran to the site. Nearly bumped into the papaya stalls the guides & keepers tried to sell to visitors.
The result... well worth the wait.
The site counts 4 geysers nestled on a aragonite base.
The site was still, only for us. I could listen to the murmure of the foaming waters, see water leaps & spews, breathe this typical smell of mineralized water (recognized from Visy gasy & Rano Visy bottle-opening experiences).
I laughed at the shape of some geyser fountain ;-)
I marvelled at the sight of a grotto in formation.
I drank at nearly each of them. For free.
Fondest memory: When I asked whether they used to sell this edible mineral water, they replied No, to my surprise. This site attracts locals from parts of the island & they don't even try to earn some money from it. Oooh! I saw a basin to collect the hot springs waters (good for arthritis). Not fully operational yet. Finally, I liked it that way. In nascent state. Just some tchatched-roofed parasols for the shade.
Spent some time with the guide (mostly Mum whilst I was busy drinking & snapping). Heard the site was recognized & used since the times of ancient kings of the area (17th cent, I think) & that each geyser had a name. Too little time... Will return there...
Ooops! time to leave ! On our way back, saw tourists flocking. 2-3 cars. It was a good timing, then!
---Fondest Memory---
As a geyser first-timer, I was impressed of course. Less than in front of the waterfalls. Still....
I couldn't but envision the reason why the springs are still foaming, still tasting mineralized. I know it wouldn't last as the volcano underground will explode one day. When? Just know that last volcano activity here dated back to 8000 years ago.
The geyser site counts 4 geyser springs. They lie on a aragonite plaque & it's here that "Fondest Memory" doesn't always fit. I couldn't help but feel a bit sad and disappointed while being explained that since a local company is extracting aragonite stone from this site, less pressure is applied to the mineral & spring waters beneath the surface. Hence the smaller height at which water spews out. Whilst the one on pic4 used to spew out at 20-25 meters high, it only reaches one meter high nowadays.

Papaya plants everywhere!
Favorite thing: Everywhere, papaya! On cultivated soil, between rocks & in the wilds, on stalls, on menus...
I've never seen papaya trees plantations. Pineapple, yes. Litchi, yes. Apple, Peach, Grape, Orange, Tangerine, Banana...
Approaching Analavory, we saw papaya stalls along the road. We knew then there should be papaya plantations over there. Little we knew we would be impressed by both the plantations & the papaya trees in the wilds on our way to the Amparaky geysers. Mind you, they even grow between lava rocks !
Fondest memory: I like to see Madagascar green. Cannot understand why one would chop/burn trees on a surface to leave it barren, uncultivated, not inhabited. If not grren thanks to forest trees, it should be at least thanks to cultivations. It's even greater if the green is natural, non-chemical. Here, in Itasy area, the lava enables natural cultivation as the dark lava soil is rich.
Fond memory ? Yes, of course... I was glad to see those plantations here. I suspect consequences would be different than those of plantations on less fertile soils. Here, no fertilizer needed. At least, so far, as the harvests have proved to be of good quality. Tasty, abundant and natural.
What I dislike most is to see barren, dried surfaces in Madagascar, that is knowing my island used to be green before Man came here.

A lunch with a view!
Favorite thing: Aaaah! the joys of rushed journey!
At least I could take unusual pics, snapped at Fast & Furious speed!
Wait! this used to be a tarred road. Uncontrary to the perfectly tarred Tana-Ampefy main liaison, the roads to Itasy sites of interest (the waterfalls, the geysers, the Itasy lake & islets), although of only 4-5km length, are to be assimilated with bumpy rides. No that bad as roads (no big holes, for instance). Nevertheless, since the tar hasn't completely removed, one shouldn't drive that fast.
But.... But... we were in a hurry. We managed to be on time for MLM lunch time & to save our backs. :-)
Here we were, at Le Kavitaha... Yours truly, high on geysers, on the Kavitaha lake, on those views from our terrasse table!
Fondest memory: Like time had suspended, we were seated at our table at Le Kavitaha restaurant, looking onto the very Kavitaha lake (the restaurant owes its name to the lake).
Like time had suspended, we could chill out & dine on fish... after the hectic trip, the dirt road to the geysers and the rush to join the restaurant on time (remember, we had my toddler nephew & his pregnant Mom travelling with us).

Farihy Itasy - Itasy Lake (Lac Itasy)
Favorite thing: My initial plan was to visit the Andranotoroha crater lake. I knew it was not far from the restaurant, in the same direction as the big Itasy lake, both on the Ampefy-Soavinandriana main liaison. So we left for Andranotoroha crater lake. On our way, we stopped at the place where a kind Kavitaha staffmember- I chatted her up earlier while having the stroll- advised me to stop our car. We stopped to ask & we were shown a huge hill one has to climb to make a way to the crater lake. Aaaaaw! it was going to take a while. None was interested to climb. Was tempted to try it there & leave the others with the lake & the islets. Eventually made up my mind, stuck to the group, skipped the climb but promised myself to see this crater lake one day. First promise to myself....
We just had the time to retrace our steps back for about 1 minute when we saw the "Ilôt de la Vierge" sign. That's the exit to Itasy lake, at the entry of Village touristique. Passed a small village (of few houses). As the drive unfolded, the lake revealed itself... beautiful. A stunner! was such word to describe landscapes, areas, mountains...
Farihy Itasy or Lac Itasy (Itasy lake) gave its name to the whole surrounding volcanic area. The lake itself is big. With 3500ha, reported to be the third largest in my island, it's beautifully edged by mountain ranges, swamps, pounds and ricefields.
Itasy lake owes its existence to the lava flows which had blocked the valley. Water flows from the mountains, rains then had filled, for a long time, the basin to form a lake.
It's just unbelieveable to see those locals, either fishing, either cultivating in swamps, either busying to upload harvests in a cart........ so silent. For sure, they did talk to each other while busying. Still, it was so silent over there.
Fondest memory: Contrary to the Amparaky geyser springs, Itasy Lake was all about serenity, silence, great views. This 17th cent. King buried on Ilôt sacré is lucky. You'd stay here forever......
...whilst I wouldn't turn down camping somewhere near the geyser site.
I liked both.

Liliha Waterfalls
Favorite thing: --work under progress--
Fondest memory: With the flocks the site could count, how comes I haven't seen anyone indulging i the joys of watersport ? Ok, one member of the staff who keeps the site clean advised us to return in February as then we'll surely see the water curtain. Maybe then I'll see people kayaking ? Anyway, now is the dry season, water is at its lowest quantity.
What I liked most about sites I saw in Ampefy & surroundings was their underdeveloped state. Nothing around the geyser site except locals busying. At the waterfalls, we were there doing nothing except chilling out, fascinated with the falls, its sounds, the spray that wiped & moistened our faces. The most active descended stoneblock stairs, went to the riverbed. That's where I snapped this! It's much more impressive seen from below.
And look at pic#2, Liliha downstream...

The calm after the storm!
Fondest memory: Just look at those pictures ! Snapped while having a tiny digestive stroll at Le Kavitaha domain. Looking onto the water, under the shade, al fresco lunch tables....
This blue of the water surface, soothing !
Calm after the storm... Appreciated even more those fast rides on dirt roads. To each bumpy ride, a soothing, relaxing reward. The still blue water surface of Kavitaha lake. The serene majesty and beauty of this big Itasy lake we're about to reach after a while.

Islets within Itasy Lake
Favorite thing: To experience the Farihy Itasy at fullest... many possibilities either indulge into some fishing activity, either stroll along the dirt paths looking onto the lake, the mountains, the islets.
Many islets had "grown" on the big surface.
You could hire services of a local fisherman to bring you to those. But then, be ready to climb, climb... either Ilôt de la Vierge ("Virgin Mary islet"), recognizable for its white base on which lies a VM statue dominating the lake... either head to Ilôt sacré (Sacred islet) where lies the tomb of a XVII cent. king. Another interest lies in the bat colony there... for naturalists, naturally.
Climbing Ilôt de la Vierge by car was the obvious option for us. Still, I would find it cool to climb the islet by foot. Little time & rushed journey & blitz visits *sigh*. The climb consisted of driving on a col that led to the top. The beauty, the majesty of the area unfolded before our eyes as we proceeded. Once on top, we enjoyed 360° views onto the area from that is to be considered as Itasy belvédère.
Fondest memory: The feeling of serenity facing the beauty, the majesty, the magnificence of the lake.
It's a big big big water surface although wideness is not which would strike at first place while admiring it from the top of Ilôt de la Vierge. It's edged by mountains. Contains islets, swamps, pounds. So, it's not the same visual effect as looking at the ocean.
Here, my world was blue, just divided in two by the grey-ochre-beige mountain ranges.
Another memory of this lake: at 3pm, the sun was moving Westward, not at its nadir position anymore. Some special light. Promised myself to attend Mister Sun setting there, one day. Hopefully with another great Mister. :-)

Liliha Upstream - Antafofo village
Fondest memory: So surprised by the beauty of Liliha river running through Antafofo, I warned my Mum who walked in front of me I had to take this picture. Didn't even hear her reply. Never was I so quick to move around, adjust my lens and snap. I guess the local lady who witnessed the scene shouldn't be surprised aymore. Those tourists! I glanced at her. She smiled, probably confirming my thought.
Couldn't help. Had to take this very first picture before stepping on the bridge which crosses the river. Very rare angle & a picturesque village I enjoyed strolling.
As long as I enjoy,
as long as I don't feel blasée,
as long as the simple sight of a tiny flower moves me,
as long as a river that runs through a village turns me on,
as long as experiencing geysers as a first-timer gives me highs,
as long as....
.....the list goes on, mostly filled with memories of Itasy experiences
Keep on reading & looking at my pics !

Sites at 4-5 km reach
Favorite thing: Sites of interest in Itasy area... It's so unbelieveble, funny that all of them were located 4-5 km off main arterias. There should have been great hikes, either to reach the geysers (through papaya fields!), either to reach & climb Ilôt de la Vierge (one of Itasy Lake islets), either to reach Antafofo village where to admire Liliha waterfalls, eithe to climb a dome to see the Andranotoroha crater lake.
Fondest memory: Walkig in those villages is something we, travellers, should do. To rest our bodies that were crammed in the car for hours. To breath some pure air. To blend with locals. To get lost. To wander. Something to do... but cannot be always achieved. For one reason: I travelled with a pregnant sister & her 2.5 yo son. We had to hurry up, rushing from site to site in our 4wd, to be on time for my nephew's lunch.
Here is a rare picture of us actually strolling in a village. One day (next time?), I'll allot at least two days for Ampefy & surroundings. But........ looking for the perfect travel companion, first. ;-)

A trip to the waters
Favorite thing: Has been awhile since we've been craving for some roadtrip. We live in the countryside, off Tana. In the Northern Tana (Avaradrano, i.e "North Bank"), to be precise. We use to breathe pure air. We only go to the crazy, crowded, air-polluted city with the downtown hassle for work & purpose. Our week-ends are very nature-tuned, if not spent hiking the wilds & climb hills, could be in the garden. But anyway, the itchy feet keep reminding about some cool roadtrip to do, whatever destination. Moramanga ? Tempting… still, everybody has been there, all of us. I suggested the Itasy area & more precisely, Ampefy. Everybody has been there too… except me & another person in the house. Mum just remembered this important detail. ;-) So, to Ampefy & Itasy the preference went.
130km away from Tana. 130km of varied landscapes although the Itasy area still lies in the high plateau. Mountains, hills, plains, rivers, old-glory towns… with just differentiated shapes whether one rides a volcanic area or not. And that was the Itasy area was about: a volcanic area. Meaning, it has crater lakes, geysers, stunning domes with golden retriever robe. Plus, they got the Liliha waterfalls.
But first, that road! Terrific one, this RN1. So unusually good it can kill....
Fondest memory: Has been months those web pictures of & tales of my folks about Ampefy curiosities have triggered my curiosity. So, as soon as we talked about a roadtrip somewhere, Ampefy sprung into mind. I remembered doing seriously my search with excitement & great expectations. And the best memory of Ampefy was that the journey, the visit, albeit rushed out, were beyond expectations. One of rarest destinations which I could pull off a long "post-visit" to-do list. Was very satisfied, it was beyond expectation.
Still, I'm pretty sure there will be an "Encore". In another style.

Good RN1 road & its old glory cities
Favorite thing: RN1... the famed one. From Tana to Analavory through old-glory cities such as Fenoarivo, Arivonimamo, Miarinarivo. All of them have history.
Miarinarivo has this singularity to have its own cathedral, a privilege only for ex-provinces' capitals (Tana, Mahajanga, Toamasina, Toliara, Fianar & Antsiranana). As how it came this building construction was allowed. I ignore. It's simply difficult to guess as, as a city, Miarinarivo is, by far, outnumbered by Arivonimamo, both in inhabitants, size and importance.
Our first international airport even used to be in Arivonimamo before its transfer to Ivato area mid-70s. I just read in a guide that the Imamo area (whose capital is Arivonimamo) was the very one where the first nationalist movement, Menalamba's, was born in Nov. 1895, two months after the fall of Tana (in the hands of French colonials). Then, Zanakantitra clan, denying the defeat, (reportedly) went into guerilla, assaulting the London Missionary school (protestant & English), symbol of European presence... Anyway, the nationalist movement had then spread out nationwide to be only tamed 10 years later (although Madagascar was declared French colonial in 1896).
Anyway, even before colonial time, the Imamo area used to be known for its tenacity, giving hard times to Tana kings in their expansion missions.
Fenoarivo displays this row of traditional Merina houses in its main arteria with veranda & woodcarving... pity they're in such a bad shape.
Unusually good road. Has been so for decades yet, earth slides are familiar to the portion near the volcanic area, past Miarinarivo.
Fondest memory: Good road, moutains ranges... reminded us the road to Mahajanga. Sure, we're heading West. Still, it's not the same route.

Mountains, glorious mountains
Favorite thing: The trip taking place in the high plateaux area, we got our share of plains alternating hills.
Hills, glorious mountains, some with lavaka (crevasses)...
Naked mountains, cultivated hills
Especially while driving in the volcanic area (after Miarinarivo), we noticed the difference in the shape of mountains. Now we get either dome-shaped ones like the Italian cake (Pandoro, I think), with the table shape at the top, either pointy topped ones. That is when my dad explained that those with pointy tops are still expected to explode one day as the dome shaped ones had already spewed out their lava. We could see that from the shape (the flat top with probably crater lakes up there). There were many of those domes over there..... Look pic#2
As a driver, just don't forget to focus on the drive... it's so scenic.

Weekend Break
We stayed at the Indigo for 2 nights when coming down to watch the NFL at Wembley.
The hotel is close to Aldgate tube, so central London and all tourist spots are easily accessible. The hotel was modern and well maintained. Rooms and shared areas were spotless and the rooms were well equipped and comfortable. The room we had on the 6th floor was also really spacious. We just used the restaurant for breakfast, there was a good choice with buffet and waitress service - the food was of good quality and fairly reasonably priced as hotel breakfasts go!
