Another wonderful excursion today. We went to Amber Mountain National Park to look for more chameleons and lemurs. Our group didn’t see any lemurs but at least one of the other groups did.
There was a large group of people that went on this excursion. We were broken up into vehicles with 4 people in each vehicle. Then two vehicles would stick together in case one of them had any problems. There were three of us in our vehicle until a late comer joined us- it wouldn’t have been so bad but she complained pretty much the entire hour and a half drive to the park (and back!) and she took the window seat.
We saw the blue nose chameleon. It actually has a neon blue nose when it’s not disturbed. I didn’t get the best picture because someone from the other group walked off the trail and right in front of our group and took so much time taking his photos that not everyone was even able to take a single photo. sigh…
Even with the complaining, photo hogging and missing lemurs, it was an amazing hike. One of my top ones so far. The forest was so peaceful and full of birds and native plants it was nourishing to the soul. Our guide was very well read, informative and spoke very good English.
Today was the first time I’ve seen so many tuk-tuks on the roads. They were all over the place on our drive to & from Amber Mountain.
