๐ Meteorite's Madagascar Travel Diary
๐ Itinerary: Queen's Palace โ French Lunch โ Blue Hill Palace โ French Dinner ๐ Queen's Palace Perched atop the city's highest point with panoramic views of Antananarivo No photos allowed inside (history buffs might love it, but my attention drifted...) ๐ฝ๏ธ French Lunch (Disappointing Edition) Steak fail: Ordered medium-well, got a chewy leather experience ๐คข Timing note: French restaurants here donโt serve before 12PM Aftermath: Paid the price with an upset stomach ๐จ ๐ฐ Blue Hill Palace Easter crowds made it lively (spotted a manual Ferris wheel โ pure human power!) Modest vibe: First kingโs humble abode vs the Queenโs Palaceโs grandeur Shopping win: Haggle down to 25% of initial prices! Scored: Large mineral specimen frame: $8 Small one: $5 (perfect souvenirs!) ๐ท French Dinner (Redemption Arc) Location: By the old train station โ charming ambiance Highlight: Garlic butter snails ๐ (surprisingly divine!) Meh: Mains/desserts were forgettable #MadagascarDiaries #TravelFailsAndWins
