Cold Cabins

Andasibe, Kempton Park, Madagascar
The evenings are cold and damp so we had to strip the blankets off the single bed and use them for added warmth. After a good night sleep we had an American breakfast and left to go to the National Park at 7:30. Our driver Josse, took us to the entrance to meet up with Desire who was our park guide. We purchased a two day pass (37,000.00 ariary) which was about 9.50 for Francois and I, and we all pitched in for the guide (40,000.00) 5$ each.

It was a pleasant four hour hike in the Andasibe National Park and we were fortunate enough to see two Indri families, the biggest lemur alive . The second one was really close and so we were able to observe them for quite some time. The vocal chanting was really impressive, this is to warn others of their territory.

Upon our return around 12:00 we stopped off at the hotel Restaurant and ordered our lunch.
The girls went shopping across the street while Francois walked around the hotel grounds in search of bird life. At 6:30 PM, we all went on a night tour (walking on the side of the road) to see chameleons. This tour is two hours long and so we had a late supper.

I will send this out tomorrow via internet, we do not have any here but the hotel across the street has WIFI, for a price of course.
