Friday, May 27, 2022 - Today is a travel day from the East Coast back to the capital Tana. The first part of the day is from the hotel to the port city of Toamasina. We travel the intra coastal waterway and a series of canals for the trip.

The fish traps along the waterway are very interesting - they are lowered at night and brought up in the morning.
