Today's trip is titled Three Islands.
We had no doubt which option to choose: Albercik!
A little over half an hour by boat and we're at:
Nosy Tanikely
“Nosy Tanikely National Park is a small island with an area of 3.41 km², which explains its name: "Nosy Tanikely" means "island of the small land" in French.”
The goal is to climb to the top of the hill, where there's an operating lighthouse and beautiful views from it.
Listening to Albercik's stories and instructions in Polish is an added attraction and awe at his business idea for serving Poles. And the whole thing doesn't give the impression of trying to rip off tourists at all costs.
It's worth paying for this attraction!
Snorkeling allows you to observe aquatic turtles, octopuses, and other ocean creatures around the reef, close to the shore.
The National Park imposes restrictions, among other things, you're not allowed to wear sunscreen, as it pollutes the reef!
The next island is:
Nosy Vorona
Nosy Vorona (the Bird Island) is an isolated island, available for rent for those who want to live like Robinson Crusoé.”
It's not easy there, as the lack of drinking water, strong winds, and high tides make living alone difficult (there can be up to 12 brave souls there).
We decide not to moor because there's a small, unnamed island nearby, which we'll simply annex and establish a temporary Polish colony!
The fun is fantastic, the mood is enhanced by a pre-dinner rum and cola and... Adek dances the Macarena (which means "blessed" in Spanish).
Albercik's group demonstrated extraordinary energy and a willingness to have fun (entertain?). Time spent with them, amid laughter, dancing, and acrobatic displays, on this isolated island is wonderfully relaxing.

And finally:
Nosy Komba
I'll describe my stay with the lemurs in the next entry.
