Up at 6.20. Sue had slept well, but David had not and was feeling unwell.

We left at 8.20 to complete our journey down to Belo s/ Tsiribihina. David slept most of the way! We stopped suddenly at one point as the pilot wanted to buy some fish!

6000 Ar for 6 fish!

We began to see much more commercial river traffic with dug out canoes full of produce such as peanuts.

Ferry!
Peanuts awaiting distribution.

We arrived at Belo in time for a final lunch on the boat: chicken and rice (David gave it a miss!) Our driver, Zo, joined us for lunch.

After lunch we climbed back into our 4×4 to begin the exciting trip to Bekopaka. But first a toilet stop and a chance to see our drivers sense of humour!
