Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname

 Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname Just like in the photo above this text, I am okay but I am not completely okay. I feel awful on the inside and for a long time it was difficult to find the motivation to return to blogging.  Tomorrow's Christmas, so I mustered all of my strength to at least finish another episode. I've been gone for a while because as usual, life got hectic. But this time in a bad way! As you guys know a while ago I started a company in Suriname. Most of my days were spent creating Story Time episodes, working, doing social work or going along to get a taste of the field.  When we go to clients, sometimes I get to see awesome places. Or in between on our journeys we tend to make pitstops. This Story Time episode is supposed to be about my visit to Beni's Christmas palace. But let me tell you about what happened after that first. Just so you can understand how my Christmas spirit, transformed in the energy of mourning. People see the good, but I'l...

Tap a Watra Falls , a jewel hidden in South America

 Story Time: Tap a Watra Falls one of the many jewels in Suriname, South America!

           " Shachem Lieuw and friends at Tap a watra falls in Sipaliwini"



Hello, my dearest Story Time readers from around the world! How have you been? I got sunburnt from all of my adventures in the South American/ Caribbean country of Suriname.  Make sure you hop onto that Story Time U.F.O. to stay updated on the many stories of my adventures that I have to share with you guys.  Suriname is also known as the heart of the Amazon rainforest. We are right in the middle of the Guyanas and our country is so rich in fauna and flora. The beauty of our rainforest and the rivers that we have is breathtaking.  When you visit the tropical country of Suriname, you have to visit our interior as well to be able to grasp the full beauty of our country. I know I have written about Tap a watra falls before, but this place is so beautiful that no matter how much I write about it I cannot describe its full beauty. I have visited Tap a Watra falls during different seasons of the year and although it looks different in each season it is still beautiful. Tap a watra falls is one of the many jewels our amazon rainforest created in Suriname.  Sipaliwini is a beautiful district in Suriname where nature takes over. You can see beautiful flowers, trees, and animals everywhere. When we were in Brokopondo heading towards Atjoni we saw a rabbit and a black panther cross the road. Unfortunately by the time I had grabbed my camera they had already leaped into the forest alongside the road. From Paramaribo, it's a 3-hour trip to Atjonie. When I arrive in Atjonie, I take the boat towards Tio Boto Eco lodge. During my visit to Sipaliwini, I visited multiple villages alongside the river. So I arrived at Tio Boto Eco resort around 8pm. But if you head straight to Tio Boto Eco resort without making any pit stops it's a 3-hour boat ride, depending on the water levels. From there on I head towards Tap a Watra falls the next morning. It's only an hour boat ride from Tio Boto Eco lodge. When you are taking trips like this I recommend that you at least stay for 4 days, that way it won't be such a tiring journey and you can enjoy nature in a calm and relaxing way. 

Make sure you bring a lot of sunscreen with you and reapply every few hours. My friends and I got to enjoy the beautiful view of Tap a watra falls. when you are sitting in the river where the Gran Rio and the Pikin Rio meet each other, it feels like you are getting a massage. But be careful, remember this is still a river! Follow instructions from your tour guide carefully and make sure that you are wearing a swimming vest when you are on the boat. Traveling through Suriname is an adventure of its own. One that I enjoy, I love being able to explore my country and the world around it. Especially when I get to go on my adventures with the people that matter to me. If you are planning to explore Sipaliwini, bring some fun friends with you. They will make the trip more memorable. If you want to watch more videos of my adventures through Suriname follow me on TikTok. I have more foto, videos, and stories of my adventures in Sipaliwni that I will be sharing right here on Story Time with you guys. Until next time! 😊💗
