Another of Miyazaki’s anime which is as usual very very good - what you you expect! But still I prefer the “lightness” of Kiki my favourite witch
This is the story of a pretty hatmaker, Sophie, who is put under a spell by a witch which turns her into an old hag but [...]

The cave is nice to visit, there are [...]

This has got to be the nicest place you can go to in Rodrigues.
It’s a small island about 3 - 4 km off the west coast of Rodrigues and by pirogue, you’ll take about 45 mins - the time required to catch 2 fish - to reach there (depending on the tide of course).
