Today we went for a walk in Isalo National Park. Different to our rain forest walks this was in more desert like surroundings. Majestic landscapes enjoyed by ring tail lemurs, scorpions, stick insects, snakes and a number of skeletons buried in rock caves - so high up a rock climber or abseiler would be needed to ensure the dead rest in peace.
It was hot and the guide stopped a lot in the sunshine telling us lots of things I didn't absorb. I looked for shade every time and eventually put up my umbrella much to others amusement and later their envy.
I decided not to do the afternoon walk through the canyon. I felt like some "me" time. Harry enjoyed the walk but some how I think I enjoyed the swim and relax more. He said it reminded him of the bush at home and was cool after the morning hill climb. The most energetic thing I did all day was get up and move the deck chair further into the shade as the sun moved slowly westward.
