such AMAZING Creatures!
We threw all our excess clothes to these boaters, who came out to our cruise ship.. We felt like Santa himself, throwing dresses and shoes, fruit and tshirts, anything that wasn't strapped down! Packing is much lighter now :)
Landscape Architect's paradise.Baobab trees, tamarind trees, palms and ylang yalng forests. and Frankincence trees... the vegetation has been an amazing aspect of the trip!

Another amazing stop on our trip... 2 days in Madagascar, one in Nosey Be, (Meaning Big Island), and the 2nd in Diego Suarez, a town at the north end of Madagascar itself. In Nosey Be, we visited a Ylang Ylang forest and flower production centre, as well as a botanical gardens. Wonder of wonders, we got to hold chameleons and lemurs and boa constrictors!
Today, we visited Diego Suarez and got a private taxi to see Baobab trees and a drive through the countryside. Madagascar feels very much like Africa, although we've never been to Africa. It's as hot as we can stand, and Iain didn't even want to swim at the beach since the heat is so intense!
