点评:We went on a private Jodensavanna cultural tour and river resort Overbridge with the driver who was also our guide Kenneth, during our vacation to our home country Suriname for Christmas holidays in 2023 with the family which was the first time that we visited all 10 districts in one vacation.
He picked us up to do this amazing day tour of a 90 minute drive from Paramaribo to the Jodensavanna site in district Para that's in the middle of the rain forest where we've seen different animals, like tropical birds, slots, monkeys in trees (small ones), salamanders. This preserved site is an old Jewish settlement with rich history that shows how Suriname was ruled by Dutch Jews in this area during slavery and the exploited lives of their African slaves.
Kenneth was very knowledgeable about this history, able to answer all my questions and showed all parts with different installations and creations (some perished, but traces are still there), so you could see the difference made between the Jewish slave masters and their slaves. For example, the Jews were burried with a gravestone with their names on it, while the slaves didn't. Also the slaves that were mixed with Jewish blood didn't get a gravestone and were burried with the other slaves, since they were not 100% Jewish. I've learned that this old plantation was one of the thoughest and unkind. I've also learned that the descendents are one of the most notable peoples in Suriname (doctors, lawyers) and even the founder of the national soft drink company.
We ended the Jodensavanna tour with delicious lunch in picknick style at the site. Afterwards we went to visit the river resort Overbridge. The idea was to chill at the water and in the natural pool (they made a pool right in the front area of the river with the river water that is separated with low walls, very innovative), but it started to rain heavily. Well it's still in the rainforest area and the restaurant staff also said when we arrived that we were lucky that it was sunny, as it always rains. That was correct, since after 10 minutes chilling in the water it started to rain, too bad. We then got a small tour in the car, around the resort to see the cottages for overnight stays, before heading back to Paramaribo. We enjoyed the day trip!
翻译:2023 年圣诞节期间,我们和家人一起回到祖国苏里南度假,与司机(也是我们的导游肯尼斯)一起参加了私人的 Jodensavanna 文化之旅和河滨度假村 Overbridge,这是我们第一次在一个假期游览所有 10 个地区。
他接我们进行了一次精彩的一日游,从帕拉马里博开车 90 分钟到达帕拉区的 Jodensavanna 遗址,它位于雨林中部,我们在那里看到了不同的动物,如热带鸟类、槽、树上的猴子(小猴子)、蝾螈。这个保存完好的遗址是一个古老的犹太人定居点,有着丰富的历史,展示了苏里南在奴隶制期间如何被荷兰犹太人统治,以及他们的非洲奴隶被剥削的生活。
肯尼斯对这段历史非常了解,能够回答我所有的问题,并展示了所有不同装置和创作的部分(有些已经消失,但痕迹仍然存在),所以你可以看到犹太奴隶主和他们的奴隶之间的区别。例如,犹太人下葬时会立上刻有名字的墓碑,而奴隶则不会。此外,混有犹太血统的奴隶没有墓碑,而是与其他奴隶一起下葬,因为他们不是 100% 的犹太人。我了解到这个古老的种植园是最粗鲁和最不友善的种植园之一。我还了解到,他们的后代是苏里南最著名的民族之一(医生、律师),甚至是国家软饮料公司的创始人。
我们在现场以野餐式的美味午餐结束了 Jodensavanna 之旅。之后,我们去参观了河滨度假村 Overbridge。我们的想法是在水边和天然水池里放松一下(他们在河的正前方建造了一个水池,河水用矮墙隔开,非常有创意),但天开始下大雨了。好吧,它仍然在雨林区,餐厅工作人员在我们到达时也说我们很幸运,因为天气总是晴天,因为总是下雨。没错,在水中待了 10 分钟后就开始下雨了,太糟糕了。然后我们坐车在度假村周围游览了一下,看看可以过夜的小屋,然后返回帕拉马里博。我们很享受这一天的旅行!
