Well here I am four days before heading back to Fort Dauphin writing my first ever blog!
My name is Alison - hope you like the Ring-tail Lemur photo. I am married to Samson - Fort Dauphin's surf dude extraordinare - who set me off on this journey by saying 'we need a website'... how can so few words encapsulate so many hours of mental torment?!!
I have been back for a break in the UK and thought that it would be easy enough to set up a website and a blog before heading back to Madagascar... only I started reading... and then read more... and more... and became quite freaked-out by all the options out there!
How do you decide how to build/host your website/blog when all you confidently know is that connection speeds and even supply of electricity is extremely irratic in Madagascar! However, I am diving in head first and giving it a go with blogger.com in the hope that lovely Jirama and Moov will do me proud when I get home.
Our website is still in construction so please bear with me on this (I have figured out how to put the links in!). In the meantime if you have found this blog and would like to know more about coming surfing with Born Naked it is just our website which is still 'under construction'... not us so do just leave me a comment here and I will email you back!
Enough of the promotion, I plan that this blog will give a flavour of life in Madagascar - miles from Wiltshire, UK where I come from originally. I hope that 'Bevolo and the Dog' will share my thoughts with family and friends (existing or still to be met) on this amazing, beautiful and crazy country.
That's all for now folks! As it is 4am UK time and I want to fiddle about with the colour scheme a bit more!!
Welcome to the blog of Born Naked...Surfing Madagascar. I plan to keep you up to date with news on our life in Fort Dauphin, Madagascar along with updates about our surf tours and visitors. For those that are wondering, Bevolo means big hair in Malagasy which will make sense to those of you who know Samson and watch out for Blackie, our new dog, she is bound to become a regular feature!
