Monday, October 13 - off to Suriname


This trip, the Tanners followed us. They are the Humanitarian Aid couple and they had projects to look at in Paramaribo. We got as far as New Amsterdam on Sunday, spent the night and then got up early to go to Suriname. We had breakfast with the Tanners at the Little Rock Hotel and then left for the stelling at Moleson Creek. When we got to the stelling, we began the process by reporting to the police department. We were approved but the Tanners misplaced their Suriname insurance papers. They tore their car apart, but could not find it and the police would not let them go. They tried to buy a ticket anyway, and the girl told them to drive back to Skeldon and find the insurance office and get a new one. They called ahead and when they arrived, a copy of their insurance was waiting for them. They picked it up and came back, arriving in time to get through immigration and customs.
