Paramaribo - Suriname

In these first days of 2023, Eric has already managed to surprise me with another postcard from a country that I only mentioned a couple of times on this blog. I only had 3 postcards from Suriname and now I've a written and stamped card from there.   

Today I'm posting Eric's and Luca's cards, both from the Historic Inner City of Paramaribo, a UNESCO WHS since 2002.

Paramaribo is a former Dutch colonial town dating from the 17th and 18th centuries planted on the Northeastern coast of tropical South America. Composed of mainly wooden buildings, the plain and symmetrical architectural style illustrating the gradual fusion of Dutch and other European architectural and later North American influences as well as elements from Creole culture, reflects the multi-cultural society of Suriname. - in: https://whc.unesco.org

The Waterkant is the oldest and one of the most important streets of Paramaribo. The street is located in the historic centre on the Suriname River, and was the location where ships used to arrive.
