Last week was a fabulous week in Madagascar. Because it is such a huge island we were up early every morning and on the road by 7am (what?????) to travel to all the different places on the itinerary. We have seen ten different types of lemurs and sifakas and they just take your breath away when you see them in the middle of the forests. We had local guides with us who went on ahead to find them, and then we followed on. Also saw geckos, chameleons, snakes and numerous beautifully coloured birds along the way.
Left Maddy yesterday morning to get to Reunion hotel mid-afternoon.
Well........just over an hour's flight and we were in a totally different world! This incredible island is absolutely beautiful........dominated by two towering volcanic peaks . Rugged landscape of forested gorges, cliff-rimmed cirques.....very impressive. Been out all day today driving through the countryside and Creole villages up to Cilaos Cirque, a naturally-occurring amphitheatre situated around 1300m above sea level. Based in a very plush hotel set on the beach........and at last I am able to drink some v good wine!! Going to have a restful day tomorrow after being on the go for the past 8 days and just chill out by the sea.
Hope you get to see this blog, but I shall have to do it properly when I get home and send it out to all who wanted to follow my adventure.
6.30pm here, going dark, so off to the bar!!
Looks like you managed to upload some photos, well done. Also looks like you are having a good time.
