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...

Bakaaboto river resort in warm tropical Suriname

             Bakaaboto resort in tropical Suriname



Hello my dearest Story Time friends from around the world, I am back with another adventure. This time I am taking you to Bakaaboto resort 🏊🌊in the tropical rainforest of Suriname. This resort is located in Sipaliwini before you reach Atjonie. If you want to visit a beautiful resort in Sipaliwini where you get to experience the unique river rapids that our amazon jungle has to offer, Bakabooto resort is a good option. You could easily do the trip in a day.  They also offer houses for rent, if you have an interest in camping out here. Charcoal is sold on the resort, so you can imagine the amount of BBQ fires that have been lit up at Bakaaboto resort. If it's the rainy season I don't recommend going in a small car. The road you have to bend in to reach the resort isn't asphalted like the main road leading all the way to Atjonie. If you are coming from Paramaribo and you see a sign that says " Weg naar Bakaaboto" (road to Bakaaboto) that's where you turn left and you keep driving until you reach the Duwatra Medical center. Next to that medical center, there is a road that reaches Bakaaboto resort. I had other matters to attend to first, so I passed the medical resort and the school. At a short distance from the Duwatra medical center, you will reach the river when the road ends. But this Story Time episode is about my adventure at Bakaaboto resort. We were only going to be staying for a short while at this Surinamese resort so we didn't book a camp. After parking the car and paying our fees to enter the place we made it to the river with our Icebox and music. The view of the river is breathtaking. My country Suriname is indeed beautiful. Here I fall in love with nature, the people, the food, and the love we share with one another.💓😍 The sound of the river rapids brings peace to the mind. You can just forget about everything else when you are here. There are rules that the resort upholds to protect its environment. Upon entering the resort you will have to pay a deposit and then you get a piece of paper with all the rules. If you manage to respect those rules, you will get your deposit back once you leave the resort. Nothing beats sitting in a river in the middle of the Amazon rainforest on a rock while letting the water massage you and enjoying the scenery around you. These are the moments that make my country feel like paradise, and once again I am reminded why we are called the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest. Can you imagine how awesome the view must be during sunset or sunrise? I have been to Bakaaboto before, but it's been a few years. This country that I live in is so big, I haven't even seen all the places we have. Often times it takes me a long time before I get to revisit a location. But I am glad that I came back to Baakaboto. I have no regrets and look forward to many more adventures with my friends.We brought our own food and snacks for the trip and made the best out of it in the middle of nature. These experiences are necessary for the mind, body, and soul. It reminds us that we are alive, and a part of a larger being. I made a vlog of my travel adventure for you guys to enjoy. Don't forget to subscribe to my Story Time blog when you see that Story Time U.F.O. pop-up on your screen.😉👾👽 In case you subscribed, I will be seeing you soon, with another adventure! Who knows in what part of this South American/Caribbean country I will end up next.🤔Sometimes even I am surprised by all the places life takes me to. But I am having a fun, loving life while living in the story. That's the way it should be, the fact that I get to share these fun adventures with you guys I consider to be another blessing.👏
