 i074 Loaded up at the first ferry from Soanierana-Ivongo |
 i077 RN5 just North of Manompana, before I got picked up |
 i078 Turkeys on the sand roadway North Manompana |
 i079 The sandy RN5 turned out to be the good part. Here it gets worse |
 i080 The Ditch with Rocks in It |
 i081 Cloves drying in the sun in a small village |
 i082 Cloves drying in the sun in a small village |
 i083 Cloves drying in the sun in a small village |
 i086 |
 i087 My transport. My main pack's rain cover is visible hanging out the back |
 i088 Motorbike somehow traversing the Ditch With Rocks in It |
 i091 And did I mention mud? |
 i096 A bit blurry but it clear that none of the rocks quite qualify as boulders anymore |
 i100 Sometimes it just safer to walk, especially on this section not too far from Mananara |
 i101 Reconnecting with the truck, hard to believe that the road just prior was even worse |
 i102 |
