We returned to the clinic in the plant where the doctor pronounced Nicola’s wound about healed and complemented her on her healing powers. During the ambulance ride we attempted to convince the paramedic to come work in Canada. She says she likes small towns and civil society.
Lunch at the old yacht club now tennis club although no one was playing tennis. There were some kids in the swimming pool. Nicola did notice some trophies in the clubhouse dating from the 50s. Then it was back to the market to shop for more souvenirs. Nicola spent most of her time comparing the quality of embroidery on table cloths.
At 5:30 I received text from Air Madagascar aka Air Maybe informing us that our plane was cancelled for the next day and was rescheduled for the 21st at 7:30, the same evening our Air France flight was due to leave. Not wanting to risk missing the Air France flight and so all the other flights down the line, we decided to attempt a change the next day.
We treated our generous hosts to dinner that evening at a restaurant built where the railway station once functioned. Of note, was the bar built from a car stopped on the narrow gauge tracks. The following evening they'd advertised a going back to school party complete with a wet t-shirt contest.
Romeo, the driver, finished a long day that started in the morning with M and ended with us at a little after nine.
