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.

Interesting structure in the canal.
Reeds in the water
Local river transportation - the boat is fully loaded with all kinds of merchandise.
These two were moving along the canal and our boat slowed, so we would not tip them from our wake.
The canal opened up into a huge inland lake reflecting the sky and clouds.
Fisherman with his fish trap.
The fish traps along the waterway are very interesting - they are lowered at night and brought up in the morning.
Fish traps and reflections.
Reflections from fish traps turned into an abstract.

Home on the river
On arrival in Toamasina we had a great lunch and then walked around downtown.
