Roadside views Antsirabe to Andasibe

After our overnight stop in Antsirabe we continued north, skirted around the outskirts of Tana and headed over the mountains to Andasibe NP. Somewhere along the way we passed a locality of a few hundred metres where all the houses were selling hand made model trucks beautifully painted and decorated. A very local and localised industry. The red and white trucks with the logo THB are advertising the best selling beer in Madagascar. It is called Three Horse Beer. Why a French and Malagasy speaking country should give its favourite beer a name in English is beyond my understanding !
