Madagascar

Just checking in to update you all. Had the last 2 nights in Berenty reserve. Gazillions of lemurs again and really interesting environment. Very dry compared to where we were. Just arrived in fort dauphine in this lovely hotel. You would have no idea of the poverty here when inside the walls of these hotels - pretty much all French owned.
The road to and from Berenty reserve was something else. Only 90 Kms but it is a four hour drive over the roads that have not been maintained since the 70,s and don't exist at all in the rainy season. We picked our season well. Rainy season is over it is now winter and good temperatures and very few tourists which is brilliant for wild life hunting.
Air Madagascar must be the most unpredictable airline ever. Our last flight was delayed by hours for no apparent reason and the one tomorrow is now rescheduled to 7am instead of 4 pm which means we miss out on our planned itinerary in fort dauphine but will be in Tulear a lot earlier. I'm sure we will find something to do.
I've decided the French are pretty disgusting. It is they who smoke in all the restaurants here, in between mouthfuls of food. So gross.
Erin will post some pics on face book when she can.
See ya
