Day Seven - Transfer to the airstrip for the flight to Tana. On arrival in Tana, met and transferred to the Hotel Colbert. Antananarivo (Tana), with its brightly coloured houses stacked up the hillsides, the mauve jacarandas and purple bougainvillea, is an attractive capital city. The rice paddies and zebu-carts on the outskirt, provides a stark contrast to the noisy traffic, bustling markets and colourful people in the narrow cobbles streets of the city centre. Unfortunately, Tana has relatively little in the way of conventional sightseeing. Apart from the Tsimbazaza museum and botanical garden, activities revolve around shopping. The artisans market shows an enormous array of quality Malagasy handicrafts and is well worth a visit. Tana also boasts a lively array of excellent restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The Hotel Colbert is well located in the Upper Town. It offers a unique blend of French tradition and enchanting Malagasy hospitality. All rooms are equipped with satellite television, radio, mini-bar, tea/coffee making facilities, telephone and ensuite bathrooms with hairdryer facilities.
