Madagascar __ "You needn't totally forget about notions of idyllic tropical
islands, but there's more to do here than lazing on a sandy beach and dipping
into crystalline waters to peek at coral reefs now and again. Madagascar's
forests are a shimmering, seething mass of a trillion stems and dripping leaves
and slithering, jumping, quirky beasts out of nature's bag of tricks: Lemurs,
chameleons, periwinkles and baobabs, aloes, geckoes, sifakas and octopus trees."
