Suriname to Guyana!! Waking up at 2:30am this morning wasn't so bad as I barely slept anyways with the extreme heat, terrible mattress and biting Mosquitos. I have organized a van tour by the name of Bobby's that does a door to door service from Paramaribo (Suriname) to Georgetown (Guyana). I was told to be ready at 4am but as expected the van came late at 4:40am. A couple if Indian guys came in the van directed me into the van and we were off like a bat out of h...

As I had all my things today I stood out a lot more and it was far more obvious I was a tourist. I ...

What to Do?? Today I had to figure out what the hell I am going to do as I don't have a host in my next country and city. First thing I did was organize to stay the weekend here in Suriname which will give me the chance to find a host in Georgetown. Luckily Elly a local girl I had been in contact with answered my message and confirmed I could still stay with her over the weekend.
