This is the least touristy country either of us has ever visited. In our entire time here, we’ve not met another tourist (we have met or seen NGO workers, Mormons, and people here on business). WeRead more
This is absolutely amazing! I love the pictures. How lucky you are to be able to visit a country most people have never seen, before it gets ruined by loads of tourists, too! It occurs to me that in a weird way, maybe corruption and inefficient government are protecting the wildlife. There are quite a few places that formerly had manatees but no longer do because the manatees are so slow-moving and unafraid that they have all been killed by motor boats.
Good observation, Felicia, about no tourists = more wildlife. I do love manatees, though the ones in Florida face significant challenges from two-legged and motors.
It’s true that once the road to Brazil is paved (which no one we spoke to believes is possible) that more tourists will come and it would be even easier to remove the big trees (and gold) from the area.
After an afternoon tour of Georgetown, we jumped into a crowded mini-van for the 12 hour overnight drive to the Iwokrama Rainforest Reserve. The road quickly transitioned from well-maintained tarmacRead more
I’m still laughing out loud, although I’m sure it wasn’t particularly amusing at the time, especially your unexpected dunk in the river! And I just keep thinking how different that trip was to our totally safe and civilized time in Peru! So glad you survived with everything intact except your pride, and the camera 😖.
And it looks so calm and bucolic - except for the rapids boiling just in front of you...
Just in case you thought we were getting soft with a luxury cruise in Antarctica, winery lunches in Chile and hanging out in Buenos Aires just because we can - here we are in Guyana to toughen up aRead more
Oh yum!!! I'd go there for the fruit, the wooden church, and the wildlife.
Nach einer kurzen Nacht und Frühstück im Hotel bringt uns das Taxi zur Seawall. Wir sind etwas verunsichert, uns frei und auf eigene Faust durch die Stadt zu bewegen, denn man rät uns dringendRead more
We had an excellent night time run around Georgetown, just over 5 miles with all the falsies. Circle was on the back patio of the Marriott Hotel, followed by dinner and drinks.
Nach der Mittagspause mit Sandwich und Panini gehen wir wieder zurück zum Zentrum und besuchen das National Museum. Der Eintritt ist frei und das ist auch gut so. Im Obergeschoss erwartet uns eineRead more
Nach dem Besuch des Marktes geht es weiter, vorbei an den Kolonialbauten der 1880er Jahre. Viele Gebäude sind leider sanierungsbedürftig, lassen aber den ehemaligen Glanz noch erahnen.
Die St.Read more
Wir lassen das Gepäck im Hotel und erkunden zuerst die Kirche in der Nachbarstraße. Es sind von dort nur ein paar hundert Meter weiter bis zum Stabroek Market. Hier herrscht reges Treiben und wirRead more
