Isalo

This place is AMAZING. 4 star hotel which is totally fantastic in the middle of limestone formations which happened out of the blue in like Savannah plains. Madagascar changes landscape and vegetation so dramatically. About a five to six hour drive today over bad and not so bad roads and totally different scenery where we are now.
A fairly eventful drive. We slowed down to view an elaborate tomb when the truck stalled, in the middle of nowhere I might add. It is an almost new Hyundai 4WD and it just would not start again. Two young men arrived on the scene and helped us to push start it again, thankfully they turned up,(people always turn up here in the most unlikely places- nothing around but savannah) we were having trouble pushing it at all just the 3 of us. Any way, it started again once we got to a down hill slope.
We stopped for a forest walk and managed to see some sifaka lemur and sportive lemur plus the largest chameleon species in the wild before Erin decided to pass out, probably from heat. We managed to get her going again as well with a bit of cooling off but we had to cut our walk short.
After a further hours drive we arrived at this fantastic hotel with spectacular views. This photo does not do it justice. Looking forward to the canyon walk tomorrow and hopefully some more wildlife.
I've got some brilliant photos on my camera to bring home. I only take one or two on the iPad to email you.
See you
