walks with his head down to the ground

We left Ile aux Nattes by pirogue at 4:30 this morning - such an amazing journey! It was still the middle of the night and the sky was filled with the most amazing stars. Everything was really quiet apart from the sound of our pirogue going through the waves. Because it was low tide, at times we'd get stuck and had to get off the pirogue and walk along the beach. Pretty awesome thing to be doing at that time of the morning!

Then we started what ended up being a pretty horrendous travelling day....ferry from Sainte Marie, minivan to Tamatave, couple of hours in Tamatave before taking the night bus to Antsirabe. All in all, I think it took us 26 hours to get from A to B.

This picture was taken in the couple of hours we had in between the travels in Tamatave. The pousse-pousse driver (a rickshaw) turned out to be slightly psychotic and went a bit mental when I refused to give him more money than what we'd agreed and simply walked away from him. He made such a cool picture just minutes before though......


Today is my blip birthday! Hurrah! Very happy to have been on here for a whole year :D
