Feeding the Lemurs

We are anchored off of Nosy Komba which is a nice island with a couple of villages and a good anchorage. The larger village has a little "zoo" with lemurs, boas, chameleons and turtles. If you get there early enough in the day, you can have a lemur sit on your shoulder and eat a banana from your hand. They are very friendly, cuddly little guys. The rest of the village is quite nice, with restaurants, little shops and even some beach bungalows. They sell very nice souvenirs, which are all hand made and extremely reasonable.
Last night was Sally's last night on La Familia, so we had a going away dinner for her at one of the restaurants in the village. We had a huge feast for twelve with the wonderful local seafood, followed by a night of dancing in the local disco. It was a fun evening, if a somewhat surreal experience - so far from home, yet so similar in many ways.
