On our way to Tsingy and the hole way back again to Antananarivo

Preparation for the dusty and bumpy road to Bekopaka
An undescribable road trip for three hours in a row
We passed burned landscape which they call it to be the slash-and-burn agriculture!
Finally arrival in Bekopaka waiting for the transportation over the river Manambolo
Now it was our turn to go on the ferry which took two minutes!
but it was refreshing after three hours in the car
Beer time!
I asked: "What is this?" Answer:"We don´t know" I guessed big beans.
Entrance to the National Parc of Tsingy de Bemaraha
We stayed at the Hotel Orchidée du Bemaraha
where we had this little fellow to watch us behaving
Happy survivors after three hours on the road
the service was malagash style "Mora mora"
An evening in the billiard room
Our guide
and us
on the river Manambolo
from where you can see hundreds of bats hanging in caves
Welcome to Tsingy!
We started to climb
until we reached the top
from where you have a nice view over the river
and then there was some climbing again
until we arrived to this spectacular rock landscape
Tsingy is fantastic
square shaped flowers in the stone forest of Tsingy
a stop with our pirogue
to visit one of many caves alongside the river
which was very exciting
after lunch time for a visit to the small Tsingy
Some information
We were lucky to see a bird!
and then it was time for walking in between the rocks and roots
My man!
and up we go
and some more climbing
After the day of climbing it was time to leave Tsingy early next morning the same way we got there
and that was with the ferry over the river Manambolo to Bekopaka
where everything happened - car driving, woman brushing her teeth
Lunch in Belo sur Tsirbihina and waiting for the car to get fixed after the three hours bumpy trip from Tsingy
With the ferry on the river Tsiribihina again to Tsimafana
On our way to Morondava where we did a lot of stops to have a look at Baobab trees
and we went from one place to
another one
The sacred baobab - no entrance with shoes!
The avenue of the Baobabs
where we stayed until sunset - beautiful
The day we finished with a Baobab-drink in Morondava
We stayed at the Baobab Cafe - a very nice hotel
After breakfast we took a walk to the
beach in Morondava before we got in the car to go back to Antsirabe which was going to take 9 hours!
After many hours in the car we woke up next morning in Antsirabe where we stayed at the Royal Palace Hotel
On our way from Antsirabe to Tana we had a nice lunch in Miandrivazo
The adventure was over, time to go home. On our way to the airport in Tana!
