Day 6 in the Rain Forest

Four of us headed off in the morning for our trip to the Rain Forest (Nate, Cassie, Jon and myself). It was a little drizzly when we left, but fairly warm. As we approached the entrance, Nate had our driver shut off the van so we could hear the Indri (Big Lemurs whose calls sound like whales). It was so cool listening to them! We checked in at the park entrance and headed down the trail with our guide. He did a great job of finding the lemurs and pointing out other creatures along the way. We came to one spot on the trail with so many different birds...they were beautiful. Nate knew what they were and was able to get some good shots. I couldn't get a good picture of any though. It was an great experience trekking through the forest and listening to all the sounds of the Indri when they called.

We all met up again at Vakona for lunch and headed back to Tana. Another long drive, but worth it!
