Closing up in Illakaka and heading south

July 3rd and 4th, 2008
We're finished with our buying in Illakaka, and are now weaving our way through town. This photo shows a typical street scene as vehicles have to tangle with pedestrians and carts.

Sometimes bike travel is easier than autos.

As we are passing south, there are numerous small 'buying' shops along the way.


We are now leaving Illakaka, heading south towards the town of Tulear. The signs regarding Sapphires are on many signposts.


And then, just as we are leaving all hustle of the town, we see such a nice building set up for Sapphire buying. It seemed this was somewhat of an anomaly.


At this point we are on our way to the ocean. And then we are surprised again to find digging taking place in another river near a small bridge. The work continued upriver for several kilometres.


As you can see here, we are looking out at least 5 kilometres.
