Things are different now I am on my own again! 🇲🇬 SOLO in MADAGASCAR [S7-E103]
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This Madagascar motorcycle-travel episode follows the start of a return towards the capital, with the riding now expected to be on tarmac. The journey also shifts back to a solo ride as the narrator says goodbye to Didier, while Fianarantsoa gives this leg a notable destination.
About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ Season 7, “Return to Africa,” this is episode 103 in an ongoing motorcycle journey through Madagascar. Its story centres on a change in company and direction: after saying goodbye to Didier, the rider is on her own again and begins heading back towards the capital. The description conveys mixed feelings about that departure, rather than presenting solo travel as a straightforward reset. It also marks a change in the motorcycle and road context: with tarmac expected for the rest of the journey, she continues on what she describes as a pretty much vintage Africa Twin. Fianarantsoa is a key point in the episode, singled out as a town that makes the journey worthwhile.
The journey
The route information is deliberately spare: the film starts a return towards Madagascar’s capital, but the supplied description does not name the capital or detail the roads taken. What it does establish is a shift to tarmac riding from this point onward. That change provides the practical setting for continuing on the Africa Twin, while the move back to travelling alone gives the episode its personal thread. Fianarantsoa is the named place to look out for, though the description offers no further specifics about the town or the riding conditions there. Rather than promising a detailed account of a particular road, the episode is framed around onward progress, a farewell and the experience of reaching a place the rider considers especially worthwhile.
People, places and moments
Didier is the only other person identified in the description, and the goodbye marks a clear transition in the journey. The mixed feelings attached to being alone again add context to the shift: this is not simply a change in who is riding alongside the narrator, but an acknowledged moment in the ongoing trip. Fianarantsoa supplies the episode’s strongest sense of place, while Madagascar remains the broader setting. The vintage Africa Twin is also part of the film’s stated travel context, connected to the move onto tarmac rather than presented as the subject of a review. The available details leave the episode’s precise itinerary open, but make its central elements clear: solo motorcycle travel, a return towards the capital and a stop in a town the narrator values.
What to expect
- A Madagascar journey turning back towards the capital.
- A farewell to Didier and a return to solo riding.
- Tarmac travel on a described-as-vintage Africa Twin, with Fianarantsoa as a highlight.
