The pirate coast

Article Abstract:

Madagascar hopes that ecotourism will solve its serious economic and environmental problems. The country's eastern coast offers the visitor history and scenic beauty, but transportation services are minimal, tourist facilities are meager and devastating tropical cyclones are frequent. Madagascar's largest port of Toamasina began as a pirate enclave. It betrays more Asian influence than most of the country's towns. A trip down the nearby Pangalanes Canal is unforgettable. One of Madagascar's few remaining rainforests borders it. The island of Nosy Boraha, 40 km off the coast, is a tropical paradise.

Real world tests: rucksacks

Article Abstract:

Seven rucksacks, or backpacks, all receive positive reviews. Female users especially appreciate the models designed specifically for a woman's smaller frame. The Lowe models are sturdy and easy to pack and repack. The Fjallraven model has a useful waterproof lining. The Karrimor model has useful side pockets and comes with bottom straps already attached. Vango's model is a very versatile pack with many thoughtful features. The Berghaus model's fit is easily adjusted and the pack comes with a variety of useful compartments. North Face's pack is ideally sized and very comfortable to carry.
