Paramaribo

30 May 2009

We arrive early in the morning, after a delayed flight from Trinidad - the airline decided to sneak in an extra stop in Tobago en route.

We're impressed with the new arrival hall at Paramaribo airport. Finally, this airport now features a luggage conveyor belt, such that the suitcases don't have to be pulled out from one huge pile anymore.

Thankfully Evita picks us up at 1:30h am, she waited for over an hour at the airport as she was unaware of the delay.


Bienvenido a Miami

Nature is everywhere in Miami: we spot parakeets in the palm trees on a stoll on Lincoln Road.
The afternoon brings a short rain storm. Luckily, we found a covered place in the poolbar to have lunch.

Check-in at the airport for our next flight: helped by a very slow but friendly hispanic gentlemen. He claims that he needs a cuban espresso to wake him up.

We quickly call Sandra to announce our surprise visit to her. while on the phone, we almost miss the boarding of the plane.

Off to Suriname now, we'll be back in Miami in a few days.
