Just a few shots the computer refused to accept at the end of the last blog. The stunning natural swimming pool at Isalo NP, which was an idyllic oasis and so much better than we expected - for once a tourist attraction that deserved the hype! The park was also home to a small species of Baobab I can't remember the name of - paka.. something or other. Sorry about that, we had better improve our learning skills for the 150 species of fish we are expected to know !! Anyway they are bizarre plants.

The Ringtail Makis were cool too, a semi-tame group of wild lemurs which just behaved as if we weren't there. There reaction as soon as the sun came out was to sit down and put their arms out wide to soak-up the warmth, very funny. When the sun went in they would wrap their tails around themselves and huddle together to keep warm!

All for now, Geoff and Lexa

We are here in Idaho
Hi guys. Love the blog with the pictures. They look great. We are safe in Idaho being treated like royalty by the Wokersien's at here. We will pick up the RV today to start our expedition. The country here is 'awsome' and we even took Mum on a class 3 raft trip which was such fun. I only landed in the water a couple of times. I hope you learn all the fish names quickly. Lots of Love Mum and Dad Wokersien. XXX
