Driving to Hotel Boutique Peperpot

 Story Time: Driving to Hotel Boutique Peperpot across the Wijdenbosch bridge in Commewijne

Commewijne, the time has come for me to write about you again! I have so much history with you, a history that might be forgotten once my time on this earth passes. But one thing that my soul will take along is the memories and the lessons that Commewijne has taught me. I have many childhood memories of spending time with my grandparents who lived in Jaglust. My uncles and aunts, many of them have passed away now. I just wish they could see some of the good things I did in life. But sometimes we can't always get what we want. I take satisfaction with the fact that they believed in me! That was enough to get me crawling until I became the woman with glasses that I am today. It took me time to find my roar, but if they could hear it today I know they'd be proud of me! Yes, Commewijne and I have history, that's why I love seeing this place develop. Throughout the years this district developed and gained many shops, restaurants, tourist locations, and hotels. I certainly recommend that you visit Commewijne during your travels in Suriname. Many European, especially Dutch tourists enjoy bicycling through the district. Commewijne used to be home to many plantations. My little brother had to go do a delivery and that's how I spend the day with him going on a drive to Hotel Boutique Pepperpot. Sometimes I discover new places in unusual ways as the day takes me along on an adventure. Most of those adventures I end up converting into Story Time episodes for you guys. When you drive across the Wijdenbosch brug ( brug means bridge in Dutch) you'll come across the giant Murties ( Statues representing the incarnation forms of Hindu Gods) under the bridge.  Hinduism is practiced by many Surinamese citizens. I like looking at the statues of Durga, Hanuman, Shiva, Parvati, and the other gods whenever I drive by. Another thing you'll notice from the view is the shipwreck in the Suriname River. The wreck was from a German ship that was in the Suriname River during world war 2. Dutch authorities had then given the order to capture the crew and seize the ship. Back then we were still a colony of the Netherlands. The German crew was captured but made sure to sink the ship called the Goslar to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Dutch. Suriname has contributed to the world in many ways throughout our history. That's something I look forward to addressing more in my other Story Time episodes. Right now let's return the attention to our road trip. A road trip can be relaxing. This road trip led me to Hotel Boutique Peperpot. It used to be a plantation and has restored colonial houses. The place looks great but then it started to rain just as I wanted to make a picture for you guys. ☔That's why I had to squinch my eyes.😂😃Right now it's rainy season in Suriname. Our tropical weather around this time has mood swings. It can be very sunny one moment and raining heavily the next. For this time I'm only taking you guys for a drive to show you what Commewijne is like. Next time we'll explore Hotel Boutique Peperpot and see if it's worth the hype. If you don't want to miss that adventure, do jump onboard the Story Time U.F.O. 🛸👽👾the moment it pops on your screen! If you happen to miss it, no worries.😊There is another follow option in the sidebar. Join me on this relaxing drive 🚚and take a peak at Suriname, the diverse country that's known as the beating heart 💓of the Amazon rainforest. You'll be surprised by how diverse this part of South America is. As I took this ride I'm reminded of how fast the moments go by in life. A part of self-love is learning to love the moment despite the circumstances. Simply because life is a gift. That's why I live in the stories while loving life. Just like it says on my T-Shirt.
