 | Citadel "La Ferriere"    |  | |
 |  | ||
 |  on October 4, 2004 |
Seven-kilometer trip up the mountain can be made on a horseback. It's an awesome place, built by a madman (Roi Christophe) as a fortress to defend Haiti's northern shore from the French invaders who never came. The king shot himself in the head with a golden bullet and is burried on citadel's grounds. |

| eat season fruits | | |
| | ||
 |  on April 19, 2005 |
It's mango season now (in April). Take the time to discover our many mango varieties. Actually I would suggest you try out as many varieties as possible until you find one that you really like. The season has just started and we have the tastiest mangoes in the world, really! :)) Most varieties (not all) turn, at least partially , either yellow/orange or a reddish color when they are ripe. Look and touch them to feel if they don't have damaged spots or holes(!). Caracteristics may vary depending on the variety of mangoe but in general they aren't supposed to be either too soft or too hard (unless you want to keep them for a few day before you eat them). It's probably superfluous but I will add that you must wash them carefully before you eat them for they get dirty on their journey from the tree to your hands. |

| Streetlife | | |

| on September 18, 2004 |
People sell (or at least try to sell) almost everything in the streets, from single second hand batteries to furniture or old clothes... |

| Market | | |
| | ||
| on September 18, 2004 |
The market is a bit messy but you feel like walking through Africa. |

| transport | | |
| | ||
| on September 18, 2004 |
remarquable is the the public transport, which is usually a pickup with a self made roof. I have not yet tried that. Anyway, the streets are so crowded that walking by foot is not always a pleasure. |
