Lemurs

I want a job working on lemur island. They are so adorable. The islands have rescued lemurs, ringtails, bamboo, black and white ruff, brown as in the photo and they are all really used to people so climb all over us looking for fruit. I had two ruffed lemur on my head at one time, so soft and cuddly.
We have been rain forest trekking for the last few days and have been lucky to find at least 8 different species of lemur in the natural habitat and maybe 4 species of chameleon along with many birds and insects.  Our nature guide had the most amazing eyes for spotting things.
Our tour guide for this part also very nice, driver didn't say much but he sure could drive considering the road conditions and driving through the city. What a horrible fumes filled city, over crowded and dirty.  The villages are very quaint tho.
We fly to the very south tomorrow for another lemur adventure in completely different climate and vegetation. Not looking forward to the flight but I'm sure it must be less scary than the drive today.
There won't be any internet again down there and probably not for a while now.
Madagascar is pretty awesome I reckon.
See yuz.
