More stories to tell, more pictures to show...

Where to begin?! First a nice tropical rainy day, which resulted in....flooded streets for a big part of the city, which of course resulted in some creative driving. There where so many places where you could not define the end of the street and the beginning of the canal. This is called "driving on memory". Remember where the roads and canals are and, don't forget, remember where the potholes in the streets are, especially for the people on bikes.










The flooded canals are still not down to the normal level, that will take a few days...till then I just have to trust my memory, ahum...


This morning a little tour in town, to the daily market and some shopping: gold and silver, clothing, if you like fake designer stuff... Here an impression of the historic inner city of Paramaribo, which is on the list of Unesco World Heritage ("gradual fusion of European architecture and construction techniques with indigenous South America materials and crafts")
