We keep heading back to Antananarivo.
We also have decided to make a long stop at a random village on this famous road, la Nationale 7.
Tanzouna, our driver and guide, suggested to buy pens to give away to the kids that might flock us on our adventure. After some thought we decide to simply go to the school and give the pens to the teacher.
After an hour or so of driving we stop in a village and Tanzouna asks where the primary school is.
I will never forget our arrival at the school.
The kids got totally wild instantly.
They all got out of the classrooms, some jumping off the glass free windows, others running away, and all screaming like some extra terrestrial invaders had reached their school. That was the first 5 seconds. Then, when they realized we were from the same specy but with just a different skin color they flocked us. And not just one class but all the grades! At least 150 kids got out !
The poor teacher I thought. What a mess we made!
Things got quieter after a few minutes though. We managed to get the kids back to their classroom and presented ourselves. French is not spoken though.
Back on the road. We arrive at Antsirabe and fall in love with the ecolodge Chambres du Voyageur. There are turtles, birds, magnific gardens and even a chameleon hunting bugs. Wow! What a cool place to finish the day!
