Our adventure continues from Antsirabe to Fianarantsoa for an overnight stay on the way to the rain forest. This is the largest city near the Ranomafana National Park. Our hotel is like walking through Graceland in that it was from another age - the 50's. Apparently, the hotel was built for the communist elite back in the day. I expected to see Frank Sinatra in the lobby signing autographs. Everything throughout was well kept, but dated and has never been renovated.
After a long all day drive, we ate at the hotel where I had the worst alligator I've ever had. All kidding aside, this was the only bad meal I had in Madagascar.

| Zebu drives were common while traveling throughout Madagascar. This is one of the reasons why it took all day to drive 250 miles. |
