Back to Tana

Woke up to the sound of the waves hitting the beach. Just outside the beach bungalow. Had a quiet morning. Malene took a swim before we had to pack our stuff and leave for the transit back to Toliare for our flight in the evening.
So just as yesterday it was back in the boat and when we came to the the beach in Toliare we were greeted by the ox-cart guys only this time some 500 meters from the shore due to low tide. So we had a long ride back to the beach negotiating the mud-flats and the shallow water here and there. Not the most pleasant mode of transportation - no suspension at all, very bumpy.
Spent the afternoon in the garden of a hotel before we went to the airport.... ok, tiny airport of Toliare. Had the excellent experience of flying domestic with Air Madagascar - the way flying is supposed to be. Security check - no, passport check - no, ticket - handwritten, limitations on what items you can carry on-board - NO. It will probably be a chock to most people in the aviation industry but we made it to Tana in time. The airport in Toliare is not the most congested in the world - there was a single scheduled flight out of Toliare today - ours.
Got back to the hotel we originally started from some 14 days ago - Radama. It looked much the same, we even got the same room. On closer inspection we realised that we had no power in our room - it was the same case for the rest of the hotel. But after some weeks on the road we didn't really take notice of it. We just took our headlights out of daypacks and switched on our own "mood-light". A bit later we even got a candle from the guy in the reception.  Problem solved.
