MAYOTTE– 25 October 2010
We landed in Mayotte on time. However, the airport is on a separate island so we then had to get on a ferry to get to the mainland. As it is French territory, French nationals only need their I.D.s (Mayotte will be considered fully EU territory as of Dec 2010).
It was an hour’s drive to get to Le Jardin Maoré and it was a beautiful coastal drive with dramatic mountains caused by old volcanic eruptions and lush surroundings. It was also very humid and already 28C by 8am !
The local makis (lemurs) were there to greet us and they were incredibly cute. Mayotte only has one species of maki, with a brown coat.
I should have wanted to go swimming but I really didn’t have the energy. I just took it easy all day. I mainly enjoyed the surroundings, the cute makis and the food (absolutely divine !).
