    Citadel La Ferriere
    by San_Diego_Evita
    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.

    Early February is Carneval in Haiti, this event lasts for several weekends until it finishes with a three day long procession in the centre of port au Prince.

    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.

    This great Hotel is now only a shadow of its own , but at least it is still there! Known from Graham Greenes Novel "The Comedians" it is an architechtural beauty, now also famous for the concert of RAM every Thursday night.

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

    The market is a bit messy but you feel like walking through Africa.

    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.
