Quick Update

I don't have much time to write here, so here's a quick update.

I left Tana to go to Antsirabe to the south where I met up with a French guy named Fred and a 'guide' named José. We signed on with José for a three day pirogue [dugout canoe] trip down the Tsiribihana River. Turns out we got screwed over by José [full story at a later date] but we made it from Miandrivazo to Belo-sur-Tsiribihana safely. From there I headed North by taxi-brousse [bush taxi] to Bekopaka. I met a Swiss couple from Lausanne who kindly let me join them in their rented quatre-quatre [4x4] for the 17km 1h15m trip to Grands Tsingy in Parc National Des Tsingy de Bemaraha. It was an amazing 4 hour hike in the hottest place I've ever experienced [so far].

From there, I again hitched a ride with the Swiss couple down to Morondavo by 4x4, where we saw the Avenue du Baobab [I took many photos]. The next day I flew to Tuléar, where I'm writing this. I'm headed to Anakao by pirogue for a couple of days relaxation and possibly snorkling. Then the plan is to come back here, head to Parc National de l'Isalo for a three day hike, then make my way back to Tana for my flight to Johannesburg on the 31st.

Talk at you later.
