Six to seven hours easy bike ride along a flat, good asphalt road, passing many small villages, coconut and vanilla plantations. The road follows the coastline, allowing now and then a glimpse of the ocean. At bigger larger road crossings, small food stalls and street traders offer homecooked snacks, such a zebu bruschettabrochettes, boiled eggs, seasonal fruits cut in pieces or in whole to bypasserspassing travellers. Some of the offers may be a bit strange to some foreigners. So one should not be surprised facing a girl holding a bag of salted ... insects up. If hit by tiredness it is recommended to stop for a thé kola Thé-cola - a natural energy drink.

[[Villa Malaza]] - 2-storey guest house guesthouse located at the beginning of Antalaha. Guests can either stay in one of the three garden bungalows or on the second floor of the main building. The owners Gisele and Alain live on the first and ground floor. For those who need more exersice exercise can do some work out workout in the gymon the ground floor. Others may want to make use of the excessie VHS and French book collection.<br>

[[La Résidence du Cap]] - Formerly South African managed resort until abondonded after the a third cyclon destroyed much of the property, leaving the bungalows in the hand hands of local management. Rita, an elderly former cruiseship chef, lives in the main building and doesn't fail to read the minds of the guests and to make their stay as enjoyable as possible.

Very hard bike ride for the first ... kilometres with lots of rocky ups and downs, requiring stepping on and off countless times. Again, several river crossings of which some are perfectly bikeable board walks, others depend on muscle powered fairiesferries.
