Today, we flew back to the coast of Suriname, and boarded a motorized dugout canoe to cross the river separating Suriname from French Guyana. The last of the trip's three places we're visiting, French Guyana is actually not a country. It's an overseas department and region of France. It should not be confused with Guinea, a country on the west coast of Africa.
Here's a couple of little known trick questions about France and French Guyana. Where is the largest national park in South America? Where is the longest border in France? The answer is in French Guyana (the border is between Brazil and French Guyana).
Today was a long traveling day, and not many
photos were taken. We arrived at the Hotel Mercure Kourou Ariatel just in time for dinner. No webpage exists for it, but its 4-star status is deserved.
