Day 22 - Thursday 24/09/2015: back to Tana
Alarm at 04:30, breakfast at 05:00, departure at 05:30. This time the sea was calmer and the boat was better - the crossing was much more comfortable and enjoyable. Again we tried for Humblot's Heron at Nosy Mangabe Island, failed, but did see the only Madagascar Sparrowhawk of the trip. Got to the airport in time for our Air Madagascar flight back to Tana via Toamasina. There was much consternation when we found that the flight from Toamasina to Tana was full and then watched it take off without us. But Air Mad had a smaller plane due to depart at 13:30, but actually departed at 12:20 with us on board.
Back to Relais des Plateaux for lunch and a quiet afternoon writing this journal.
