..including breakfast on the go by our very accomplished cook Nina.
Much of the river life in the dry season is based on temporary villages, set up on the sandbanks to grow rice in the river itself, and things like tobacco, just above the water-level..
We stopped in 3 different more permanent villages for a meet and great. Lovely people who loved to have their photos taken so they could see themselves. Needless to say lots of photos were taken, so here is just a sample..
We also had nice lazing time on board..
..an amazing Madagascar map lunch buffet, including our boat, a baobab tree, and wild duck..
...the duck, not so long ago looking like these.
Bird life otherwise was relatively prolific. Lots of herons and egrets of different types, bee-eaters, kestrels, buzzards, yellow billed kites and owls nesting in burrows in the riverside cliffs. Also the ubiquitous Madagascar pied crow.
Late in the day we started to enter baobab territory...
...and we camped on a sandbank in the middle of nowhere.
