Ambodifasina Things to Do

Some party planner in my family uses to have the right connections when it comes to party & meeting locations. He then told us about a possibility to rent a property for a day & hold our gathering there. Shaded yard, on the banks of a lake, some sport courts & nice surroundings. Just brilliant !

Too bad I cannot show you all the pictures because there are peoples'faces on them. And they don't like to have theirs posted on the web.

So, we had the pinetree-shaded yard for us, the volley court, the tennis court (I'll bring my racket next year as we opted this site as the perennial location of our May 1st gathering). There was a possibility to use the large round table in the patio (could hold 20 people). Still, it was not large enough to hold our al fresco lunch. Instead, we brought our mats, strong fabrics, plaids. On the main picture, the "drinks booth". We had our "meal booth" as well. The numerous remaining mats were used to sit on. Malagasy people are used to picknicking this way.

There was some taps with running water in the yard although toilets were à la turque (in a little hut with just a whole). No electricity for us but the batteries of the cars were enough to play loud music from the back of the cars. It held all we needed (computer for the deejaying program, amplifiers....).

I think there should be more comfy properties to rent by the lake, but this one was sufficient.
Because the owner of the property was a friend of my cousin, we nearly had our gathering there for free (we gave just about 6-7 euros for the day).
