Blog #4 Sherry from Tamatave

I'm trying a new kind of blogging.  Mainly pictures with comments explaining the pictures.  Please let me know what you think.  You can post comments at the bottom of the blogs.  All comments are welcome!

 Went golfing to Foul Pointe Golf Course, about 1 1/2 hours each way.  The roads are apparently better than they were, but still need some help.  Me golfing (and of course everyone watching me miss!)
 My caddy, Christian.  My first caddy was Emmanuelle, but the next week he wasn't there, so Christian caddied.  The third week they were both there, and Christian won over Emmanuelle.  They were arguing who was going to be my caddy (been awhile since someone fought over me, heehee), both probably not realizing that they each had a turn once.  It seems that once you have a caddy, their with you for life. (and he even wears orange-my favourite colour) Joan had a caddy, but when his regular golfer came, he just left Joan on the 2nd hole to go to his regular guy.  Another caddy was more than willing to replace him.  The standard for caddy's and beer cooler carriers is 10,000 aireryairery, which is equal to $5.00 cdn.  The average income per month is 30,000 aireryairery, so this is pretty good for them.
 On the beach down from the golf course where we have lunch afterwards.  Pretty nice place.
 Us having lunch.  They have the best garlic shrimp here.  A nice place to stay for the weekend.  Go golfing, then lunch, a swim in the pool, a walk on the beach.  They will take you out snorkelling and for a boat ride.  Beautiful area.
A road in town.   When it rains here, it rains.  The poor pousse pousse drivers can loose their pousses's in the holes in the road.  Within a couple of hours, the water's gone.  Of course the humidity is high, but it's great for the skin!
 Infrastructure here is poor.  This is a hole in road on the way to the golf course.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  It's about 3 feet by 4 feet wide and about 3 feet deep.  Apparently a lady hit the hole with her vehicle.  It wasn't pretty.
This is Joan and Clint behind us.  You can see one of the holes with water.  You need to avoid these, as these holes can be a couple of feet deep.

  2. The place looks nice! I bet you enjoyed the golfing experience here despite the missed shots! Well, not everyone can be good at it, but at least you enjoyed your adventure. How often do you play? You can remedy those missed shots if you go take golfing lessons for pros. =)
