Warning: RN7 road conditions south of Fianarantsoa are brutal right now

Just finished a drive from Fianarantsoa down to Ihosy and the potholes on the RN7 are absolute tire killers, especially after the recent rain. I saw three trucks stuck with blown tires near the village of Ambalavao, so definitely keep your speed down and watch for the deep patches in the tarmac. Honestly, leave yourself way more time than Google Maps suggests for this stretch.
