Ye Olde Dutch Guiana
... are insect bites rather than mosquito. We dock and head to immigration. Once visa is checked and passport stamped, I look for a ride to Paramaribo. I'm about a 3/4 hour drive away, so at the gate is some dude with a nice car that he is trying to fill. He ...
This is a top pick! 
eh, what language are we speaking now?
... dominant language is called taki taki, which has its roots in english, french, portuguese, spanish, african and creole influences. Suriname has a rich history, which i admittedly neglected in lieu of its also famous nightlife, so it demands another ...
Rain, Rain Go Away...
...And come back another day because I have a city to explore! A tropical deluge has just exploded water all over the city today but that is ok. For one it keeps some of the mosquitos away that my Good Knight mosquito cream can't seem to ...
Illegal aliens in Paramaribo
... We finally received our new visas on 24th September. Having arrived on 22nd, we were thus illegal aliens for two days! Paramaribo lies on the bank of the Suriname river. Bang in the middle of the river is the wreck of the Goslar, a German trading ship ...
Mosquitos, Mosques, and Michael Jackson
... " group of people those Muslim men were. This wasn't my first such run in with these folks during my travels. Paramaribo is such a hodge podge of peoples and cultures and I just don't know which stands out more than another. Who ever ...
Its Here!
Hello Everyone! I am off to Florida tomorrow, and friday I take off for Suriname. I have had a wonderful month spending time with you all and getting ready to leave. I dont have much to say now, but by this time next week am sure to have ...
Journeys into the interior of Suriname (2)
... and packaged, with three half-breads in each plastic bag. We recognised these, having bought one at the market in Paramaribo without knowing what it was! The programmed 'demonstration of traditional culture' now complete, we returned to the jeep for ...
Pancakes, canals and dykes in the tropics
... being transferred between 3 different minibuses (the drivers still in heated argument over who was responsible for me), we arrived in Paramaribo. I was driven to the twenty4 guesthouse, where I managed to grab the last bed and a much needed shower. I ...
Op avontuur in de bush
... een raar gezicht. Het stuwmeer is 25 meter diep en de centrale die er aan gebouwd is levert alle benodigde energie voor heel Paramaribo (ca.90 MW) In een ander busje (de chauffeur waar we mee af hadden gesproken kwam helemaal niet opdagen) rijden we ...
Prada, Polo and Juicy Couture
... case. So much like a queen showing off his Maltipoo in Atlanta's Piedmont Park, these men strut their stuff in downtown Paramaribo holding their birdcages up high. It's hard not to roll your eyes when some dude is walking ...
The Joys of Travel
... and Guyanans isn't that hard. We once again packed into an unairconditioned minibus for the four hour journey to Paramaribo. At first glance, Suriname is nicer than Guyana in so many ways. The well kept streets don't look like a dumpster ...
Jungle Adrenaline
... of there before Hurricane Mazda had a chance to spin up. One spectacle is enough this early in the morning. The craziness of Paramaribo streets was replaced by the serenity of the rain forest all day as we traveled about an hour and a half south of ...
Trips into the interior of Suriname (1): Gunsi
... have been eaten! Nothing escapes, not even iguanas or toucans! In fact we have seen more wildlife from our guesthouse in Paramaribo, including: parrots, parakeets, large birds of prey, humming birds, lots of other small birds and a three meter anaconda, a ...
Party, party, party
... on Monday morning. We still need to meet with Pepsur and Maxi Linder next week to identify their needs. So I have been in Suriname for one of my eight weeks and things are going well so far. We have run into some communications problems here and ...
Birth Day!!!!
... beach. I really lucked out with a host family. Donavan and Henna are my hosts and I live in the countryside outside of Paramaribo in the district of Wanica. About ten minute drive outside the City or about 30 minutes by bus. The house is beautiful ...
The Peace Corps Life
... granite boulder on the shore of the Tapanahoni River, about three kilometers from the Amerindian village of Palumeu in southern Suriname. There's a large freshly caught piranha roasting over a simple fire. I'm reflecting on how Glenn caught the fish, ...
Pictures and more
So I will try to give you a little more detail about things here in Suriname. The weather is hot and humid but no body ever knows the temperature. It is like Kay said about India - why talk about it because it is always hot. I did however see a ...
Maroon Village
... is collected in large black tanks that collect water off the roofs and eaves troughing systems. There is litter everywhere in Suriname including the roadside to the Villages. They do not recycle plastic and you see it thrown everywhere or burning in ...
Political Protests
... with other action. Perhaps a bit of a history lesson will help put the politics in perspective. I will quote from the book Suriname Switi Sranan: "The National Party of Suriname (NPS) made a strong case for independence that was backed by the Dutch ...
More turtles
Time to move on a bit and so we have travelled about 70 kms to the beach at Les Hattes, this is another famous turtle beach which is directly opposite the Galibi Beach. This is the one for the Giant Leatherbacks; these can grow upto 750 kgs in weight, ...
Gregory
... Gregory. Dit betekent alweer onze spullen verzamelen, sleutels oppikken en verkassen. Gregory woont in een totaal andere wijk van Paramaribo; een mooie wijk met redelijk wat residentiële huizen. We hebben dus weer wat oriëntatiewerk, gaan op ...
Salsa in Paramaribo
... het kader van het Surisalsa-festival), waarna we tot 2am naar salsafeestje gaan op het dak van een van de sjiekste hotels van Paramaribo en waar ook de artiesten zelf aanwezig waren. Amai; sommigen kunnen er echt wat van! Op dit feestje ontmoeten we ook ...
Half Way Mark
... focus on fund development (which is what every ASO indicated to me as their priority), I see the underlying reality here in Suriname as a need to develop stronger networking. This is an area that is extremely weak - almost not existent in the HIV ...
Het zit erop en filmpje over de voorbije maand
... het prullen aan hun puisten en rasta-lokjes. Onderweg moeten we nog een keer overstappen, want de bus is zogezegd in panne. In Paramaribo wordt onze camera gejat. Niet leuk voor de camera, maar nog erger omwille van de filmpjes en foto´s van de finale. ...
Transported away
A fairly lazy day today. One of the men from the ferry came round and actually apologised for their behaviour, which was most unexpected. We took a walk around some of the town and did some shopping otherwise that was it. 24th - We did a bit more of a ...
In the capitol
... of getting into the reserve, it may entrance by boat only. Since we could not get in we decided to carry on to the capital Paramaribo. We drove in and made our way to the historic centre and asked were we could park, surprisingly to us they told us on ...
Peperpotplantage en Fort Nieuw Amsterdam
... aan de kassa weet ons echter te vertellen dat we ook via Leonsburg terugkunnen, wat bovendien ook een stuk korter naar Paramaribo terugfietsen is vandaaruit, dus dat lijkt ons een uitstekend idee. Plots, net nadat we de rivier vanuit Fort Nieuw-Amsterdam ...
Crossing border
This morning we set off in the vehicle after receiving the Mothers Day cards from the girls, which was great. The only problem today was that we were traveling the same road that we had been on for the last two days. We eventually arrived at the ferry ...
