Isalo
Cirka halvveis mellom Toliara og Fianarantsoa (RN 7) finner man en av Madagaskars mest kjente nasjonalparker, nemlig Isalo. Nasjonalparken består av vakre og merkelige juv og fjellformasjoner, med elver som lirker seg ned i fjellkløftene og plutselig vider seg ut til en lagune. Og ikke nok med det, nydelig plassert i disse naturskjønne omgivelse ligger Le Jardin du Roi – et hotell av særegen klasse! Faktisk er det så fantastisk at jentene (Linda, Susanne, Janna og meg selv) aldri kom seg ut på tur, men brukte hvert minutt av oppholdet til å nyte hotellets luksus! Men til vårt forsvar var vi der kun en stakkars natt…
English:
Approximately halfway between Toliara and Fianarantsoa (RN 7) you’ll find on of Madagascar’s most famous national parks; Isalo. The park consists of beautiful and strange canyons, with rivers that wriggle down through the canyons and suddenly widen into a lagoon. And as if this is not enough, beautifully place in these picturesque settings is Le Jardin du Roi – a most outstanding hotel! In fact it is so extraordinary that the girls (Linda, Susanne, Janna and myself) never went on the planned hike, but used every single minute of the stay by enjoying the luxury of the hotel! In our defense; we stayed only one single night…


English:
Most of the hotel is built in stone and the buildings look like they belong there in between the stone-formations. The pool must be the most splendid one on the island. Every night big oil-lamps are lit alongside the pool rim, at the same time as the evening sun reflects itself on the small mountain peaks close by.


English:
Luckily, some time later Mr. Haugan came to visit and I got myself another trip to Isalo. This time several sleepovers were included in order to, in addition to enjoying the Kings Garden, could allow oneself a hike. The hike to Piscine Naturelle and the Cascade des Nymphes was chosen, and during the 10 km long walk we saw both chameleon and lemurs!
