Saturday, September 8th
As you probably know (or maybe you don’t), Anjeva is a train station served by the TCE (Antananarivo-Toamasina) rail line. Beside tourist trains like Madarail’s Micheline or the Trans Lemurie Express, currently there are no passenger trains nomore. Therefore, the line is for goods transportation only. You can check out the Intermodal containers pics on the gallery section or facebook.

Now, allow me to introduce another TCE rail station: Anjiro.
The names sound a bit alike, right?. Some people often get mixed up because of
that. Anjiro is situated few kilometers East from Mandraka, a location known
for its famous national park and high mountains decorated with wild forests. We went there to visit an uncle so to get there, we
had to take the RN2 (the 2nd national road to Toamasina) with one of
those big mazdas instead of the train. Cost: $2 per person.

Anjiro and Anjeva are more related than you think though.
Did I say we enjoy soccer? So do they. We have played against each other for
years but up to know, it hasn’t come to my knowledge that girls play too and
they even planned to face us in a tournament. It was great to see them in
action.

On our way back, I took the time to enjoy the green
landscapes of Eastern Madagascar. What a nice ride.
