Ok, this is not  so muck a ride report, as a bunch of random pictures from random rides.

Madagascar is rice country.

If there are three people for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you cook three cups of rice. Yes one each, uness they have been working in the fields, then you cook two per person!

Malagasy people eat more than 100kg rice per person per year. I know a family of 4, dad, mom and two girls, under 12, that eat 40kg of rice per month. And they are not exceptional. Rather the rule!

Breakfast: Rice, Kitoza (similar to biltong but smoked) and coffee. That green stuf is not purty but sakay, the locla chillies. Never eat this. Not even in a case of severe starvation. This stuff can be used to cause spontaneous combustion or to render nuclear waste inert. I kid you not!

Breakfast: Pay up! 1400 Ariary is somewhere between R5 and R6.
