I was living in Diego from 1980 to 1985, then my parents returned to Europe. I never returned to Diego since then, don't know why. The way you walked was 50% of my way to school for almost 4 years. Thank you for bringing back the memories
Yes, "pleasant" is a good way to describe it. Kind of slow-paced, not too big or small. After a week or 2 you get to know some of the locals who are quite friendly.
I did in Tamatave/Toamasina, once. Be sure to have a vaccination against typhoid fever (3 consecutive pills to be taken before departure). A simple delicious salad whose ingredients were washed with tap water can make you ache - but it always depends on the very person. ;-)
I had it each time that I went to Madagascar ! Terrible sh*t even., mostly in Tana. Have you seen the food markets, and you know why. Try to stick to fish food, French fries (or sweet potatoes) and salads along the coast: at least it's fresh & there are few flies only on the market. The worst I had was after eating Snake soup in the best Chinese restaurant in Tana: I guess it was picked up along a road after 5 days in the sunshine. Restaurants are not safe, they also buy their meats on the food markets.
It was a tough bus ride. The road from Ambilobe to Diego is not good..although they seem to be repaving it. If you want to go there take a plane even if it's expensive. It's not close to Nosy Be..but both are in the Northern part of Madagascar.
@@globoliver9697 I belive they can give serious side effects? is there a recommended cure these days? I took Halfan in the 90s when i got falciparum in Malawi, but they are not on the marked anymore
@@haak737 This medication doesn't have the reputation of side effects; I had none. The cure is the same substance, just taken after noticing symptoms. The info is from the top tropical medicine institute of Germany. I'm not a physician.

No wonder you'd stayed for weeks, the town do look clean & pleasant.

Did you ever have upset stomach from the places you ate?
No never in Madagascar or Africa, I remember years ago getting food poisoning in the Philippines, I was in agony for a couple of days.

Is it close to Nosy Be? I think it's a difficult journey.

How is the malaria falciparum situation?
It s mostly in the east coast during rainy season
Always take the pills beforehand, for security. But attention: The pills (Malarone) are very expensive in Madagascar.
