Expecting to see Mickey and Goofy, we went inside. What we found was a store catering to the tourist trade, selling wood objects carved in every imaginable shape. Every shape except Disney characters, that is. We enjoyed shopping there anyway. We decided to take a taxi back to the Guesthouse Flair.
Taxis are plentiful but difficult to identify because they are unmarked.
I suspect that many car owners in Paramaribo freelance as taxi drivers. Fortunately, nobody could mistake us for anything but tourists- our cameras and befuddled expressions made us stand out. We pried Gloria away from a shop selling panjis, and splurged on a ride back to the hotel. When we got there, we learned the good news that Jeff had succeeded in getting our dental equipment through customs. I believe that only Jeff could have pulled that off.
