A woman sells watermelons on an Albina street corner in Suriname.
immigration are based at the port so it is an easy process. The boat across to Albina took about 10mins and I was met by a friend of the boat driver who had a van full of people ready to go to Paramaribo.
Simple wooden shack houses and a huge tree between Albina and Paramaribo, Suriname.
around the block once or twice looking for petrol in Albina we hit the road for the 2hr ride to Paramaribo, the cost was also $20euros. The road is in good condition and the countryside is beautiful with many palm trees and small houses dotted around farmland and bushy areas. The places and communities we passed through during the journey included Moiwana, Siparipabo, La Solitude, De Hulp and Tamanredjo.
Shortly before the end of the journey we stopped at a place to quickly change some money. Back on the road I saw a couple of large Islamic Temples before we crossed the huge Suriname River Bridge into the capital city of Paramaribo. Do not pay more than $20euros for this trip! I had a problem with the driver asking me for more money on 2 occasions. In the end I was glad to get out of his vehicle at a hotel and see the end of him and I was glad to be in what looked like a nice city!
