We have been in Madagascar for about two and a half weeks now and we are coming home in six days!! We went to Madagascar for Christmas and now I will write a quick overview of what we have been doing.
Week #1
Our flight from Paris to Madagascar arrived at about 1AM local time. We were really tired but made it through. When we got to the house we feasted on croissants, baguette and chocolate croissants. Then Luka, Tristan and I went to bed.
The rest of the week we explored, played soccer, swam, played piano, rode the motorcycle and played to our hearts content. Later on in the week I went to Le Cot for the first time this trip. Le Cot is a horse riding, swimming and tennis club. I only go there for the horses. The first horse I rode was named Valarian Star and the second was named Sheridan. I cantered jumpsnthat we 2'8" tall! It was really fun.
Week #2
This week we went to Anjajavy! It is a hotel in the north-east of Madagascar. It is awesome there. The pool is warmer than a bathtub, the ocean has waves and is also warm and the best of all..... It is home to four different lemur species! We saw the Coquerel's Sifaka, The Common brown lemur and the Sportive Lemur. On the way back from Anjajavy we met one of the worlds best lemur expert. His name is Russell A Mittermier. He gave Luka and I copies of his book.
Week #3
Now we are in week three with two days left of our vacation and we just came back from Antalaha where the majority of the vanilla is grown in Madagascar. We got a tour of the vanilla business because my grandpa owns the company. We got the see the vanilla plants in flower which is really rare and we also got to see how and where is is processed.
Now we just got back from Antalaha but we aren't going anywhere in the next two days so thats really all that happened besides Christmas but why bore you?
The worst part of this vacation is that I miss Tuggles SOOOOOOOO much it's killing me!
