Amsterdam via Sint Maarten to Georgetown

An early morning flight with KLM from Amsterdam with a stop at Princess Juliana Airport on Sint Maarten, which is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a country on the southern part of a Caribbean island shared with Saint Martin, a French overseas territory. The capital, Philipsburg, features cobblestone streets & colonial-style buildings and is a popular cruise ship stop. Then, after a few hours, we continued to Cheddi Jagan Airport in Georgetown, Guyana.

I checked into the historic and old-world charm of the Cara Lodge Hotel in Georgetown.
Cara Lodge was built in the 1840s and has a long history. It was once the home of the first Lord Mayor of Georgetown. Over the years, the property has been visited by many dignitaries, including King Edward VIII in 1923. Other dignitaries have included President Jimmy Carter, HRH King Charles III, and Mick Jagger. This wooden colonial home, converted into a hotel, offered a combination of tradition and nostalgia.Læs mere
