The lemurs say hi!

Before reaching Tuléar, I spent a couple of days in the national park of Isalo where I saw my first lemurs. I was lucky to catch a glimpse of two of the three diurnal species that live in the area: the lemur catta - national emblem of the island - and the lemur fulvus rufus.

Also went trekking and had a swim in the natural pools (of cold water!). Caught some beautiful shots coming back down at sunset. The pics are up on Flickr.

I am now in Ifaty a small village by the seaside after an epic drive where we got stuck in the sand twice! Thankfully the local villagers helped us out and we made it safely, late in the evening yesterday.
