Addicted to Sushi Ya

Sushi or Sushi rolls in Suriname - where to be?

In Suriname you can find all kinds of food with all kinds of flavors.

In Paramaribo, at the Henck Arronstraat there is a cozy Japanese restaurant, called Sushi Ya, where you visit over and over again. This is why I can't tell you how many times I've been there. In generally I say: I am there every Friday.
But this week I had take away on Friday and visited the restaurant on Saturday with my friend Denise.



















Japanese food mixed with Surinamese hospitality.
Hosts communicating in both Dutch, English.

Denise was back from vacation and we were enjoying each other's - one month away- stories.While we were having fun sharing our stories we enjoyed sushi ya's great food.

Sushi ya is at the Henck Arronstraat 63, Paramaribo, Suriname.

MI GUDU,SUNSET and DOLPHIN tour

Suriname, hidden treasure.


I arrive at the MI GUDU a couple minutes before 4. Tony the tour guide of the day, welcomed me with a smile. It was my second attempt on the MI GUDU with the DOLPHIN and SUNSET TOUR.
The first time there was heavy rain.

I went up the stairs. There I had an excellent view. Boats on the river, the lonely Wijdenbosch bridge, men fishing on a bridge nearby, children playing near the waterfront, green and white buildings near the waterfront - a marvelous view.


Tony convinced me that there will be no rain today. And he was right.
Again I enjoyed my second trip on the MI GUDU, with Acces travel Suriname. Thank you acces travel Suriname.


FB friends, make sure you have the MI GUDU on your list and feel free to share your experience.

Trip to Saramacca




  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.
