More Pictures from the Vanilla Coast

From Antalaha to Sambava, to Tamatave, and back to Antananarivo...these are some pictures taken along the way. We went to a Vanilla Plantation, saw amazing frogs ( the orange one above is called a mantella aurantiaca), fed lemurs ( a golden-crowned sifaka, brown lemurs, and black-and-white-ruffed lemurs). We also saw Indri which was so remarkable. They are wild, and now days harder and harder to come across. To hear them call to each other, and leap from branch to branch above my head was spectacular. They are very territorial, and one family will occupy up to 5-7 hectares ( upwards of twelve acres). Madagascar is becoming more and more remarkable to me everyday. It is such a unique place, and I can't wait to discover more of its beauty as we venture into the South on Sunday.
