Madagascar, finally!


Finally, after a false start a few years ago when we decided that Madagascar shortly after a coup was not such a wise idea, we began planning another trip. We soon discovered though that elections were supposedly imminent according to the BBC website. Not many people we spoke to in Madagascar were aware of them! We decided to just go ahead and hope for the best. It turned out to be the best thing!


We started in Andasibe National Park and over a 12 day period worked our way south through Antananarivo (Tana), Ranomafana, Andringitra, Isalo and on to the coast just north of Tulear. It was a great first taste of the island and involved a substantial amount of driving; it looks like just a wee little island on the map but the place is huge! More pictures to follow over the next few days.... culling through over 2,000 photographs is a time consuming process!
