going more places

Last Friday we went out to a place I've been wanting to go to for long: the Observatoire. Up in the hill, it gives you a panorama of almost all the city of Port-au-Prince.

 

 

I really thought the city was so much more colourful from the top. I was surprised how tiny the little houses are. The biggest structure by far is the airport. Next the port by the sea. The little white houses are everywhere and you can't even notice how hilly the city seems to be from down. We had dinner there and the local drink, Rum Sour.

Saturday I went to a terrace of a hotel which offers another great view, this time in the middle of the city.This is Mont Jalousie. The Observatoire was up there, to the right side, thus we couldn't see these colourful houses from up there.

Finally and to continue the beach saga, we tried the very popular, very nothing special spot where the UN peeps normally go to. And we had lobster by the beach. This is just one part, more savage of the beach. Th rest of it had thin, blonde sand instead of little peebles.
