Hello everyone, Amanda and I been back for a little more then a week, did not get around to do a little picture thread, so here we go.

2. waterkant in Paramaribo

3. the bridge crossing Suriname river

4. Presidential residence (the president refuses to live in it)

5. road to the airport

At one point we took a day off and went to the Parbo zoo. A small facility, but I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised of the quality of the enclosures, everything was quite clean.

A nice little sandwich accident on the main road!

1. Monument commemorating the arrival of some Dutch people, theyw ere dropped there and they pretty much all died

2. I do not know why, but I was fascinated by the phone booths there! LOL

3. Amanda and I being funeral dirrectors, it is hard to not take pictures of cemetery, I will spare you the douzens we took, will only share that one, an old jewish cemetery, very well maintained compared to some other cemeteries we have seen there.

4. Waterkant, the water taxis to cross the Suriname river

4. Back of Fort Zealandia, I think it is Queen Beatrix statue that was moved there on the night of the revolution.

The synagogue and right beside the mosqué

The Suriname flag

A mygalomorph with abdominal parasite

And to finish for all scolopendra lovers, a nice big one, not sure what it is, could it be S. viridicornis?

I hope you enjoyed

Martin & Amanda
