Up 5:30, breakfast was waiting for us at 6:00, on the road by 6:35 This time I took a seat in the back of the van to let someone else have a better view. \u00a0Between the motion and exhaust fumes, I got queazy rather quickly. It didn’t go away till we got to our destination Andasibe 3 hours later. \u00a0The driving is still a nightmare. \u00a0I am curious about how many people are seriously hurt or killed on the roads. \u00a0There are these mini buses that pack just as many people on them as they can. Rides on the mini buses are 400 ariary or $0.20. \u00a0We got out of the van at Andasibe and took off on a 3 hour hike through the forest. \u00a0The temperature was just fine, much less of an issue than in Florida. \u00a0Even the humidity wasn’t that big of a deal. \u00a0The first thing we saw was large spiders spanning a small stream. \u00a0We were told they hurt if they bite, but are not poisonous. It took a bit of looking at first but we started seeing them in many areas. \u00a0In one spot they were on the ground and walked within 12 feet of us. \u00a0I shot a 150 pictures on the Canon and a bunch more on the GoPro. \u00a0We got done with the walk about 1pm and headed back to Hotel Restaurant Feon’ny ala. \u00a0This time we are in cabanas. \u00a0I have one to myself, it even has mosquito nets over the bed. \u00a0This isn’t roughing it much yet. \u00a0Lunch was vanilla chicken with rice. \u00a0It was ok and the desert was a crepe filled with jam. \u00a0By the time we got done with lunch, it was already close to 3. \u00a0Just taking it easy for a bit and trading text messages with Antje, we got back together for another meeting about what parts need to be picked up. \u00a0It was very dark by 6:30. \u00a0I was a bit tired, but we haven’t even had dinner yet. \u00a0We met up for dinner at 7:00. \u00a0I had the beef kabob and the banana nuggets for dinner. \u00a0It was after 9:00 before I was back in my room. \u00a0Much cooler here. \u00a0Sleeping will be fine but it is chilly in here. \u00a0Got to bed about 10:30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
