The Malagasy Ferry

A Blog from Dr. Frasier Taxibrousse trips often warrant blog posts. Who can forget being driven by a man who plainly believes himself to be a demi-god? How else can one explain his certainty that the opposing lane of traffic will always be clear on blind curves and therefore at his disposal? Toliar is a two day drive (for the sane) from Antananarivo. We were passing through this city on our way to Lavavolo, an … Read More
