Madagascar so far!

hello there,
it's been a while since i've blogged on this! the keyboard here is really different and it's so hard to type!
since we've been here, we've seen so many things that you couldn't imagine. we arrived in Tana on sunday to find that the airpoprt was extremely small. Travelled to our hotel and we saw really great scenery. On monday, we travelled on a bus from Tana to Fianarantsoa, that took us ten hours; we slept at a hotel and then set off for Ranihera, we're we started our trek in Isalo national park. Isalo is such a beautiful place! We saw lemurs a boa constrictor, camillions and an owl. We also swam in the pools of the waterfalls.

That night most of the group watch the stars as the sky was so clear that night! there were literally billions of stars. I saw my first shooting star and it was amazing, we also saw a couple of satellites and that was fun.Today we are back in Fianarantsoa, wondering around looking at the markets, they have some really interesting things to buy and eat. We bought some postcards and some of us sent them today, so we hope you receive them! Anyway, i better be off! time to get ready for lunch, see ya!

Thanks for the update and glad to hear that you are all holding up in good spirits. hope all those who were sick including Marcus are rallying and getting better. Have a great time in the village, it is very important stuff you're doing... well done... Bangkok airport was seized by rebels and since wednesday no flights can depart or arrive, so that is good luck for you all, you missed it. give my love to jono morris (its his mum), I am thinking of all of you and pray for a safe return.

Sorry to hear that some of you have been ill. Just as well you packed the Gastrolyte etc!
Hope the building is going well. It sounds as if you are having a very interesting experience. Hope the sick ones are better now, and that the rest of you stay well.
