Back from Jeremie

March 27th, 2009

Beginning of this week I was in Jeremie. I flew in the helicopter of the UN to get there. It’s almost impossible to get there by road. Another option is to take a ferry, but they are so extremely overcrowded and only go once a week from PaP to Jeremie and back.

So the city is very isolated. No one really cares about it. But it’s beautiful though. Nice, but empty beaches, beautiful colors and nice people. It’s still very poor but has compared to Port-au-PrinceĀ  a much higher quality of life. The climate is a bit colder, there is always a little breeze, there is no traffic jam and there are actually people that clean the city!! And Jeremie is well known for its good bakeries.

It’s late and I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I will post pictures another day.
