Tue 22nd: Packed up and set off on the road to Tulear. Drove over open plains, scattered with palm trees. Stopped for lunch in a eucalyptus forest. In the afternoon we stopped to look at some Mahafaly tombs. They are huge and decorated with scenes from the occupants life and cause of death. Good hotel at Tulear, with hot showers. Very welcome after three night's camping. Had dinner at a restaurant down the road. Chicken and chips again.
Wed 23rd: Got up at 5am to take the boat to Anakao. Outrigger canoes with outboard motors, loaded with locals as well as us tourists. There were eight adults and a baby on my boat. Arrived about 9am for breakfast by the beach. Stayed in a beach bungalow, surrounded by exotic plants.
