Sunday, 22 May 2022 - Traveled from Amber Mountain toward the port, walked around a local fishing village of Amoronjia-Orangea capturing street and shoreline scenes, saw a chameleon along the road and stopped for photos, wandered among fishing boats and kids enjoying the water, explored French Hill and photographed baobab trees, interesting cactus-like plants, velvet day geckos, and village scenes, then drove back to Diego Suarez for the night.
