Madagascar
10/30/2017
: After a couple of overnight flights and some party time in exciting Cromer, UK, we finally made it to Antananarivo just in time to wake up six hours later for a flight to Toliara.
11/18/2017
: Back in Antananarivo after several days exploring the south of Madagascar. The air pollution in Tana is really spectacular. There are some good pizza restaurants as well.
11/23/2017
: We had enough of downtown Tana, so we arranged to stay closer to the airport. There was a great pizza on the airport road, and Barbara spent her last ariary on a massage. The massage place doubled as a passion fruit farm, and passion fruit is clearly the top fruit in the world.
We also took a trip to some knick-knack market to buy the future trash of America. Sadly, there were probably 100 shells poached from endangered sea turtles scattered throughout the market for sale to tourists.
Next Visit (Toliara: 10/31/2017)
