Travel Talk: The Swing of the Seasons: Madagascar, Home of the Lemur
A.M. Chirgwin
'Madagascar is a land of contrasts. Within an hour's motor-ride of the capital with its well-lit shops, its large churches, and its French officials, you can be amongst primitive forest tribes living in tiny huts made, of woven bamboo and thatched with banana leaves.'
The above is an extract from a talk to be given by a man who has travelled through Madagascar on foot, by car, by canoe, and in a filanjana, or carrying chair. You will hear among other things how children, wading through the shallow rivers on their way to rice-fields or to school, scare the crocodiles away.
