Madagascar sights (sites?)
We went to visit our friends in Madagascar. I’m not sure what else to add. Except that Antananarivo may have the worst traffic – worse than Nairobi and Kampala. That’s saying a lot. When your taxi driver turns the car off and goes to sit in a roadside café leaving you in the traffic jam, you know you aren’t going anywhere fast.
It is also an amazing country in both history and fauna… Reclusive kings that avoided their company by sitting in the rafters of their houses, lemurs that look like skunks, and chameleons that range from the size of an ant to the size of a squirrel. Wow.
Pictures: Newlyweds John and Prisy and a curious lemur; Frazer with the world’s smallest (variety of) baobab tree; Davis getting a selfie with this tortoise (notice how he leaned in), king’s house (with guest-avoiding attic) in front of the queen’s palace.
