Antsirabe
Antsirabe (Malagasy pronunciation: [anˌtsiraˈbe]) also known as Ville d'eau is the third largest city in Madagascar and the capital of the Vakinankaratra region, with a population of 265,018 in 2014. In Madagascar, Antsirabe is known for its relatively cool climate (like the rest of the central region), its industry and the high concentration of pulled rickshaws or pousse-pousse. It attracts around 30,000 tourists a year.
The city is at the end of the TA (Tananarive-Antsirabe) railway line, part of the Network North railway, which links Antsirabe to the capital and the port city of Toamasina. The line is operated by Madarail, currently only with freight trains. The line has been extended southwards through Vinaninkarena, but this extension is not in use.
National road 7 (RN7) connects the city to Antananarivo in the north and to Fianarantsoa and Toliara to the south. Antsirabe is connected with Morondava on the west coast through RN34 and RN 35.

Architecture
Several buildings in central Antsirabe date back to the first decades of the 20th century. These include the thermal bath centre (opened in 1917), Hôtel des Thermes (1922), the railway station (1923), and the residence for French retirees
Although it is a main road, the road is quite narrow and damaged in many parts, so the journey takes more than 3 times longer than normal roads.
On the first day we didn't see much, just drove around and checked into our accommodation, and had dinner around 10 pm.
The menu is Romazawa, Zebu stew with greens served with rice.
