Madagascar
A huge island of endemic life keeps overturning Cappy’s first impressions, rewarding slow observation and respect for specialized creatures and landscapes.
Cappy underestimates Madagascar before the red soil even reaches his ankles. Following animals and smells instead of his map, he sunbathes beside lemurs, mistakes an indri’s call for an alarm, watches vanilla work, nearly eats two well-defended creatures, tries to rescue baobabs, and tiptoes through stone. His final search for a swim finds a water route made from linked lakes, rivers, and lagoons.
