Hi everyone,
Who can give me any info on Madagascar? I have checked websites, but can't find much on this country.
I need to know what the weather is like, do you need special injections, malaria tablets etc.
Help please!!!

Hi Sheena - me again

You need take tablets before going -- MALARON, you can get these in the chemist or from your doctor.
I spoke to a lady called Marie at a travel agents who specialise in travel to Madagascar. She adviced ,
Do not drink the Water, get mosquitoe repelant, Do not eat food that has not been cooked. And if you have to eat salad or fruit, then do not eat too much.
If you have any other queires you can call her on 02072261004. She was very nice and most helpfull.

Michael Alexander · July 11, 2008, 02:34:38 PM

The sun rises on the east of Madagascar and sets in the west.... thats a fact...

georg ruf jr. · July 12, 2008, 11:27:00 AM

.... and matter on what side of the island you're standing. What's most important, it doesn't even matter in what direction you're looking to. ... sun rises in the east. Yep!

Michael Alexander · July 12, 2008, 12:06:54 PM

... and Jnr, I am almost pretty sure that the water that surrounds the island of Madagascar is all wet water..... party0024

Michael Alexander, watch it!!! I might meet someone on that side who can teach me some voodoo tricks. I'll come back and put a voodoo on you and Georg jnr. Be nice to me or else....
And by the way, I can swim pretty well!!!
