Sunday City Tour

Sunday was an opportunity to see the city and the western side of Paramaribo by car on an informal fam-trip with Ara Travel. The owner has been in the Suriname tourism industry for 15 years and had a wealth of information about the history and current state of affairs. The group drove west into the district of Saramacca and stopped at the city of Groningen for lunch...another great Javanese meal.
