A remarkable report of  this trip to such an interesting  place. I am so pleased, Trond, that you have included photos of the animals as well - it helps to round out the  picture we have gained of Madagascar.  Thank you!

Trond,

I am back in town for a few days before having to leave again.

I am glad that I caught the tail end of your interesting adventure to Madagascar. It was all so fascinating, even the animals. Both the flora and fauna of Madagascar are very foreign to me and now I know a little bit more. Thank you for sharing your trip with all of us.

Trond:

Just saw this on TV.  The presenter is a world traveling chef.

He actually grew up in my town.  Had a bit of a sordid past.
