At 3:25 in the morning we are picked up at the hotel as our bus leaves at 4:00 from the station.
Madagascar landscape
The trip is long, it takes about 10 hours to reach Antsirabe, the landscape is beautiful and the temperature is falling, we return to the high lands.
We eat in a hotely at 11 for 9000 arys with two cokes!
We arrive at Antsirabe station and take a bike pousse pousse each to look for accommodation, we have no reservation and as Green Park is full we go to Hasina Hotel.
We do not recommend this accommodation, the facilities are fine but they have a small problem with cockroaches that come out at night, and that we were staying on the second floor.
Bike pousse pousse
Antsirabe is the paradise of the pousse pousse everywhere.
We took a walk, had a beer and went for a walk to a nearby market.
We are offered to learn about a Malagasy funeral tradition called Famadihana, in which after 5 years since the death of the relative, the body is exhumed to be reunited with his or her family. We are so tired that we declined the offer, which was not a bad idea since there was a strong outbreak of plague later on (although in another area of the country) and it could be related to this type of practice according to official sources, so we have an early dinner and go to sleep.
