We
were delayed a day in Hellville trying to print, scan and finalise some
documentation we needed to complete. At first it seemed unlikely that
such a facility was available but, to our utter surprise, we found a shop that
could do this. That done, now we needed to courier them. Simple? No,
that's where we hit a stumbling block. No FedEx in the entire country
and the only DHL office is in Antananarivo, the capital, some 600
kilometres away inland! OK, now to see if the Post Office offers a
registered post service. Whoops, closed and no one seemed to know why -
they probably just didn't feel like working that day.
We
left with the intention of returning after a couple of days as it
was about time we actually got out to do some cruising. Only five
miles away is Nosy Komba, a small island where there are,
purportedly, lots of lemurs to see, something that's been on my bucket
list for a very long time.
In the meantime, here are some more scenes from around this metropolis.
