In 2007 I hit sixty and entered full retirement the day before my birthday. To celebrate we went on a Naturetrek trip to Madagascar that focussed on lemurs. During the trip we visited Berenty Private Reserve in the famous spiny forest, Isalo National Park, Ranomafana National Park and Andasibe-Mantadia National Park.
