LEMURS LEMURS LEMURS!!!

HI Girlies,

Today was our first stop in Madagascar.  We anchored off Ile Sainte Marie, a very small island off Madagascar’s main island.  The name of the town is Ambodifotatra.  Here are a few pictures of the town, it is a bit primitive. 

The main street.

A cafe

Hotel

A few houses

A girl walking home from school, so cute.  

We didn’t expect to see Lemurs here.  But we discovered that there was a zoo about 10 miles from the town.  This guy took us there in his Tuk Tuk, $10 each way.

The zoo was great.  It was in the middle of a rain forest.

We saw lots of Lemurs.  This one liked it when Nana petted it.

Wow, a Gpa selfie with a Lemur!!  Photo bombed by a Lemur, how many people can say that?

This Lemur liked licking the salt off Nana’s hand.

This one is so handsome.

This is the very tiny mouse Lemur, smaller than a human hand.

We saw snakes.

This red frog is poisonous.

Big turtles

And Chameleons.  They can move their eyes in different directions, it is fascinating to watch.

Another small turtle

And this gecko

After the zoo visit we returned to our ship.  These kids were watching the ship tenders come and go.  Having a big cruise ship visit their town is very exciting to them.

So, that is our day in Ile Sainte Marie.  We were not expecting to see Lemurs until our second port in Madagascar, today was a real bonus.  Hope you like the pictures. Oh, and Nana wore this dress to formal night last evening.

Bye for now.  More Lemur pictures in two days, we hope.

Love, Gpa and Nanoo
