It was 6.00 pm when I reached Hotel SJV Groningen NV, Wirantalaan 8A, Dirkshoop. My photography friends where already there. On their way they had a technical problem with their car. Astrid, the host of SVJ welcomed me with a smile. You could feel that we were welcome. After dinner and some chat we where ready to sleep. The next day there was a early morning shoot planned at House Sondervelt.
During all the planned shoots at House Sondervelt, at Columbia, family Koemer, city shoot at the market, Sunrise shoot and Saramacca market shoot early Sunday morning, we where able to share, eat, laugh and to enjoy each other's company. Sunday in the afternoon, we where confronted with heavy rain. Suddenly the electrical light went off at Saramacca. We had to find a plan B. And yes, SJV had Plan B - a 1000 pieces puzzle. Dedicated to finalize the puzzle the photography team together with Astrid, boyfriend and John worked hard until late that night.
The next morning we had Bird Paradise on our schedule. Bird Paradise - an excellent place to visit when visiting Suriname. The only issue is you have to make an appointment on forehand.
Joan and Eric Graangoost have kept their Bird Paradise hidden, but at the same time are so happy to share with groups/ tours. They are open to individuals. We stayed there until 14.00.
Finally the photography tour trip from 9 - 12th September 2016 had come to an end. Together we had a marvelous time.
