Tyler Swain Madagascar Day 45

Mar. 13, Madagascar Day 45


I left the national park the other day with plenty of pictures of lemurs and lizards, the experience of camping in Madagascar (because everyone's doing it), and a backache...my mattress was as hard as rocks...oh, wait. It was a lot of fun, though. I loved it.


We got to Mahajanga on the 11th and slept in a hotel for one night. Let me tell you, we were living in luxury. Not only did we have a ceiling fan, but also we had--get this--climatisation (AC)!!!!! It's the first time I've felt "artificial-conditioning" in months, and it was glorious. There's a downside to it, though: they have it because Mahajanga is hot (read: hawwwttt). Now I'm in home stay, and the first night here (the 12th) I just about died...neither AC nor fan. I quickly resolved that problem the next day, dropping fifteen bucks for a fan with 3 speeds. I only use one speed, though, and I bet you can guess which one it is.
