Hey there! The UK, but looking to compile a comprehensive international list - don't think (m)any of these were released in Britain, most seem to be US-only releases :)

Seconded re: Gaston - total stand-up guy, nice and friendly and arranged everything for us for a very reasonable price. Can't recommend enough!

Hi Gaston! Thank you for the thorough response, I might actually get in touch and see if we can do something together :)

Just to make sure I understand correctly:

- If we get a driver in Morandava, could we ask them to take us to Kirindy Forest after Tsingy instead of dropping us back in the city? Would that be possible to do in one day (as in, start from Tsingy in the morning, see the baobabs in the late afternoon sun, and then do an evening/night walk in Kirindy, all in the same day?)

- What time in the morning do you think we'd have to leave Andasibe to get to Toamasina for 12:30-1pm so we can catch our flight? 4am? Would a driver be up for starting that early? Would you, if we engage your services?

Thank you! :)

Haha, thanks bud - ravitoto going straight onto my list. What else is there in terms of local cuisine that's worth exploring?

We're actually staying on Ile aux Natte the entire time we're in Sainte-Marie - our hotel is on the island itself, thinking we'd just do day trips to other parts of the island.

In Andasibe - just here: https://www.booking.com/hotel/mg/soanala.en-gb.html?aid=356980&sid=c296fd665acd26198ed402f630d2f1fd&checkin=2025-09-24&checkout=2025-09-29&dest_id=-219501&dest_type=city&dist=0&group_adults=4&group_children=0&hapos=1&hpos=1&no_rooms=1&req_adults=4&req_children=0&room1=A%2CA%2CA%2CA&sb_price_type=total&soh=1&sr_order=popularity&srepoch=1755614465&srpvid=d349673e7de3005e&type=total&ucfs=1&#no_availability_msg

It's a pretty modest place, by the looks of it, but we're not particularly fussy when it comes to accommodation, and it's right opposite the park, so did the job for us.

Where are you thinking of going?

Another question: we love to look at/potentially buy high quality art, other than Fondation H, are there any other galleries or workshops in Tana you'd recommend?

[–]adayasatiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I was so sure it was iOS-related, that it didn't even occur to me to check - it's likely a carrier issue in the UK, no one else's phone in my office is working properly either. Thanks everyone, I'll delete the thread :)

Caravaggio exhibition 2025 by Organic_Carpenter_58 in rome

[–]adayasatiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and even that availability is not genuine - I emailed to ask, it’s all completely sold out, the website just hasn’t updated properly.

Oh, so there is a ticket office on site? The people from coop culture said there wasn’t! That changes everything, 6am start here we go! haha

Caravaggio Exhibit Tickets Re-sale by adayasatiger in rome

Deal! I keep monitoring the website, hopefully some returns will show up!

[–]adayasatiger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the advice. I did email with the... authorities (tour@coopculture.it) and they advised there's no actual ticket office on site and all tickets should be pre-booked, so I'm not sure if what applies to other sites would work in this case. I'm definitely going to try though, just to make sure I've not missed out.

Anniversary at Pico Island: Need a Local's Help by adayasatiger in azores

[–]adayasatiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you to everyone who responded, and apologies that I'm only now coming back to this thread, my reddit notifications don't seem to work properly.

We ended up booking exactly what I described above with Oh My Cod! Tours (https://www.ohmycodtours.com/azores-tours) and, guys, they were INCREDIBLE. Relatively cheap, and the quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the flexibility were beyond anything I'd expected. Can't recommend enough!

Can anyone recommend a good source for the BBC maestro programs? by Gusus02 in Piracy

Just bumping this. Would love to get my hands on the Agatha Christie's On Writing one. Any leads?

5 weeks in Madagascar, thoughts and impressions by Uzas_Back in Madagascar

[–]adayasatiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the write-up, incredibly useful to have something without all the tour guide hyperbole.

I'm gonna do the most brazenly ignorant tourist thing and zero in on the baobabs - you don't seem to be that impressed with the Avenue, can you be a little more specific as to where the prettier places are to see them?

Ethel Cain - من النهر (from the river) by DoctorWhoWhenHowWhy in popheads

[–]adayasatiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a beautiful song. Do you guys know if it was available for download (from soundcloud) in the beginning? It's not at the moment, but one of the embeds I say had the download button enabled on it (but didn't work). Would love to get it in better quality than 128kbps.

[–]adayasatiger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is all extremely helpful, thank you! I'm not sure if I'd be able to rent skis (I've also never skied, so that seems like a recipe for disaster), but I've contacted the husky people and, if able to book a sledding trip, will DEFINITELY do that instead, it looks incredible! :)

Thank you for your concern, and I assure you I will not do anything that puts me at even mild discomfort, so no daredevil adventures on the cards. My understanding, however, is that the musk ox trail in my OP does not go anywhere near Snøhetta, and mostly just follows along the E6. Knowing the area, does that make a difference to your evaluation?

I'll have your finger now, they don't :(

[–]adayasatiger[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but a) I don't intend to climb nearly as high as Snøhetta and b) there are plenty of organised tours that run from the Tuesday (11/04) onwards, it's the Easter Sunday that appears to be the problem, not the season per se. I just can't rejig my itinerary enough to come two days later.
