After two days exploring Isalo, we were heading further south-west towards the coast . a trip of about 265 km.

We made a brief stop early in the drive to see La Reine de Isalo – one last look at the characteristic rock formations of the region before continuing our journey.

Some toilet and snack stops later, we made it to Toliara, where we had a few administrative errands to take care of: picking up flight tickets, changing money and trying our luck at the ATMs. Not exactly the most exciting part of traveling, but occasionally these things need to be done.

From Toliara, we continued north towards Ifaty, our destination for the day. By the time we arrived, the sun was setting – a long day on the road, but we had finally reached the coast and could look forward to a change of scenery.
