La Reunion Christmas Expedition

Over the last week of the Christmas holidays we were forced to go to the amazing island of La Reunion (the nearest Island to Madagascar). This was because our 3 month tourist visa had ran out already!  La Reunion is amazing. It has miles of beautiful gorges and steep sided cliffs and extraordinary waterfalls. It is only a one and a half hour plane journey from Madagascar but is completely different. Like being back in Europe. No power cuts or dusty roads with chickens and carts. Proper roads, real shops and you could drink the water. We used our holiday to stock up on things we find hard to get in Madagascar, like shoes, clothes etc.    We were so happy to have a holiday, walking, climbing, swimming and shopping  in Reunion Island and we'd love to go again. Here's some photos of the sights and the things we did......enjoy!
