Suriname - An old ANWB signpost from before independence

In the morning, at ten minutes to eight, we land at Schiphol Airport. At the gate, we undergo a 100% security check. After an interview, luggage inspection, and body search, we collect our baggage from the carousel. I say goodbye to the group, and shortly afterward I am picked up. On the way home, I reflect on a fantastic holiday. The direct contact with the forest-dwelling indigenous people and the Native Americans during the jungle trek was a particularly remarkable experience.
