10. Suriname Mosque
The largest Mosque in the Caribbean is Mosque Keizerstraat, located in Paramaribo. It is a beautiful building with stunning gardens around it. No machinery was used during construction and thus it took 20 years to complete. Not only is it an impressive place of worship it’s unique because of its next door neighbour, the Nevah Shalom Synagogue.
9. Presidential Palace of Suriname
Located in the capital across from Independence Square, the presidential palace is one of the best examples of Dutch colonial architecture in Suriname. Part of the inner city’s UNESCO World Heritage designation, it was built in the 18th century, and is still the presidents home.
8. Arya Dewaker
This Hindu temple is the largest in Suriname and is located in Paramaribo. It’s arguably the most important in the country to the 30,000+ Hindu’s who live there. Designed by a Dutch architect, the building is a two-story octagonal building with meeting rooms, a library, and ceremony room.
7. Joden Savanne
ust south of Paramaribo, on the Suriname River, is Joden Savanne, or Jews’ savannah. Established in the 17th century, it was originally an agricultural community that was developed by Spanish Jews fleeing persecution. Sugarcane plantations were the main crop and slaves were used here for a long time.
6. Brownsberg Nature Park
Roughly 80 miles from Paramaribo you’ll find the Brownsberg Nature Park. It’s 500 metres above sea level and was established in 1969. It’s mostly neotropical rainforest and is home to hundreds of unique and rare plant and animal species.
5. Commewijne River
All along the Commewijne River, you’ll find old plantation properties as well as cacao, coffee, and sugar cane facilities. A tourist favourite is to rent a bike for the day and cycle the well-maintained routes around the plantations. Though, the most popular route to cross the river from Paramribo is by water taxi. They mostly take you to Frederiksdorp, an old restored plantation that is now a hotel and restaurant.
4. Nieuw Nickerie
This busy border town was once one of the country’s main balata collecting centres. These days the port remains active and the economy is served by the banana and rice plantations here. If you’re hoping to explore Bigi Pan, a swamp and reservoir with over 100 bird varieties, Nieuw Nickerie is the last stop before Guyana.
3. Central Suriname Nature Reserve
The largest of Suriname’s nature reserves, Central Suriname covers about 12% of the country’s total land mass and 40% of the plants and animals here are to be found only in the Guianas. One of the most beautiful attractions in the reserve is Raleighvallen, Raleigh Falls. It’s a long and low staircase of water that cascades down from the Coppename River.
2. Galibi Coppename Nature Reserve
This lovely nature reserve was established in 1969 and is situated at the mouth of the Coppename River. It’s a haven for birdwatchers, home to the endangered manatee, and attracts hundreds of turtles during laying season (April to August). STINASU, The Foundation for Nature Conservation in Suriname, organizes several tours to and through the reserve.
1. Paramaribo
If you could combine the American Wild West with Amsterdam, you’d get Paramaribo. A high energy city filled with things to see and do, it’s the most incredible capital in the Guianas. Roam around the inner city, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, and discover grassy squares lined with black and white Dutch colonial buildings, have lunch at one of the many Indian roti shops, and buy a few pieces of artwork from the Maroon artists selling their art outside the old Dutch forts.

TVA RACCOON MOUNTAIN HYDROELECTRIC PLANT | TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY
Transforming the South: Federal Development in the Tennessee Valley, 1915-1960 (Making the Modern South):
The Raccoon Mountain project is TVA’s largest hydroelectric facility and is a little unique. Water is pumped to the reservoir on top of the mountain during periods of low demand and then used to generate electricity when additional power is needed. The pumped-storage plant is located in southeast Tennessee on a site that overlooks the Tennessee River downstream of Chattanooga.
The plant works like a large storage battery: during periods of low demand, water is pumped from Nickajack Reservoir at the base of the mountain to the reservoir built at the top. It takes 28 hours to fill the upper reservoir. When demand is high, water is released from a tunnel that is drilled through the center of the mountain; the falling water drives the generators in the underground the power plant.
For more information about TVA dams, visit tva.gov.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power distributors serving more than 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states.
The area around Raccoon Mountain is a state-designated Wildlife Observation Area. The mountaintop is home to whitetail deer, woodchucks, gray foxes and, of course, raccoons. The most compelling wildlife attraction of the area is a large wintering population of bald eagles, which can be sighted from the overlook as they hunt in the waters at the base of Raccoon Mountain.
Raccoon Mountain has over 28 miles of trails with about 6 miles being considered easy and the rest being moderate to difficult. Even though all trails are open for foot traffic, they are most often used by mountain bikers. You will occasionally see a trail runner. The trails were constructed and are maintained by TVA's partner, Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA).
There are fantastic views from Raccoon Mountain and depending on which side you are on will determine what you see – it could be downtown Chattanooga, the Tennessee River gorge or Lookout Mountain.
The Raccoon Mountain Visitor Center is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from April through October, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. November through March except for major holidays and in times of severe weather. Staffed by TVA retirees, the visitor center features maps, videos and displays explaining Raccoon Mountain, TVA's history and its activities today.
How to Get There
From Chattanooga: Take I-24 towards Nashville to exit 175 (Browns Ferry Road). Turn right on Browns Ferry Road; then left on Elder Mountain Road. Go about 1.8 miles and turn left on TVA Access Road; continue about 1.5 miles to the visitor center.
Fees
Visitor centers, trails, boat ramps, and canoe access points operated by TVA are provided to the public with no fee

Exploring the White Villages of Andalusia, Spain
We rented a car, and a cottage, and traversed the narrow winding streets through the mountains of Andalusia, Spain to explore the beautiful white villages, or Pueblos Blancos.
We started off in Arcos de la Frontera with a really tasty meal. Olives stuffed with anchovies, a duck pate with raspberry jam, and we split a simple grilled mecha sandwich (pork infused with spices). The restaurant was called Café y copas La Vinoteca (
After that, we made a few pit stops in other villages, but we had to rush a bit to check-in at our Airbnb. We booked a couple nights in a cottage near El Gastor. The ride up to the cottage twisted up a hill, past sheep, onto a dirt road, and past olive orchards. The little cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was quaint, and the views were incredible. There were olive trees on the property, and the owner actually made her own olive oil that she gave us a bottle of when we arrived. She also provided us with coffee that went really well with the breath-taking view. We really loved this place.
My Airbnb referral link (you can save yourself money, and I can make some too [mucho appreciated]):
The cottage that we stayed in:
The next morning we set our to do a loop around the giant blue watter reservoir.
First we stopped in Algodonales, a town famous for it's fresh spring water which you can drink right out of the town fountain.
Next we made it to Zahara de la Sierra, which was probably the most gorgeous thing I saw the entire 3 weeks we were in Spain. It teeters on limestone cliffs that overlook pretty much everything in Andalusia. The views across the reservoir were amazing. They also have a castle up on the very top, which we hike to and even got to climb to the top of.
After a cold beer, we finished off our day (or at least the video) in Grazalema at a restaurant called Gastrobar la Maroma ( where we ate veal burgers, shredded potatoes with fried chicken and quail egg, and a smoked salmon salad. A great meal that fueled us for a short hike in the area.
This is an incredible part of the world. The mix of Spanish culture and Moorish architecture make it a very unique place with views that will be remembered forever. The food was great. The roads were a blast to drive, and we totally fell in love with the small cottage, cooking up dinner, starting a fire to stay warm, and enjoying the fresh mountain air.

Pykes Creek Reservoir - Melbourne Victoria
Driving to Pykes Creek Reservoir - Melbourne Victoria on 21.5.2018
It was a very windy ,cold and rainy Day but I decided to go for a drive after work. It was quiet a challenge to get to this place driving from Bacchus Marsh because the weather was bad and i didnt even follow any navigation or maps .
I kind of knew its somewhere there. Finally arrived and I was impressed with its size but believe its little short of water being depleted by recent droghts in Victoria.
Pykes Creek Reservoir is also a great place for boating,fishing & kayaking and next time i will film more in better weather.
I hope you enjoyed it and Please Subscribe to my channel Thankyou :)
Pykes Creek Reservoir ( Pykes Creek Dam )- Melbourne Victoria is situated about 70 km from Melbourne city center and Ballan is not far from there. Little town of Myrniong also is very nice and I hope to drop in the Plough Restaurant.
