As always seems to happen when we are all together, there
was also hilarity, although I don’t think milk came out of anyone’s nose this
time. Alex was forced to use a bathroom
down “Jack the Ripper Alley”, Sarah is scarily aggressive when it comes to
cockroaches, and Brian and Nicole cannot pull off a covert operation – banana
peels and fruit that we were trying to sneak out of the restaurant for the
lemurs were treated like a hot potato! – Donna
My favorite thing
was the lemurs at Berenty. You really got a taste of their personalities
and curiosity. It was so much fun to interact with them and see them in
their environment. – Nicole
For me,
the most memorable aspect of the trip was how different each place was.
Tana is a traffic jam of different cultures and tastes, and the city has so
much energy compared to the rest of the country. The highlands are much
more relaxed; the terrain is beautiful, and the markets, ox-driven carts and
agriculture make it tough to gauge time (in a good way). The lemur parks
allow you to enjoy nature in person, without feeling like a tourist. Finally,
Fort Dauphin gives you the tropical vacation experience, and a chance to eat
yourself into a seafood coma next to the Indian Ocean. Our two-week trip
really felt like four or five vacations, all on the same island. - Alex
