Haiti Things to Do

The Citadel is a huge military...

by czurcher

The Citadel is a huge military fortification built by Haiti's last king, and should be the eighth wonder of the world. Built to defend against an attach from Spain, the Citadel sits way atop a mountain, and takes almost a half-day's climb to reach...but it's worth it. Donkeys are available to assist with the difficult trip up to the top.There's a wall where the king is said to have marched hundreds of his soldiers off just to see if they were loyal to him. As well, there's an entire room that is filled with cement. It is said that used to be the amunition room, and some of the soldiers accidentally blew themselves up while smoking too close to the powder kegs.

Catch a view of Port-au-Prince...

Catch a view of Port-au-Prince from Kenscoff in the hills above the busy city. It's cooler there and the hills are red and beautiful. Also, brave the crowds and visit the Marche de Fer (the Iron Market--I hope I spelled the French correctly) in downtown Port-au-Prince. You'll see anything imaginable being sold and will probably think that everyone on the island is within ten yards of you! This shot is of the very outskirts of the Iron Market--the heart of the market was so full of people that I couldn't really stop to take a photo!

I'll be honest, I don't...

I'll be honest, I don't remember what this building is. I know it's a government building and I have a slight recollection that my friend referred to it as the Haitian White House so I assume that it may be the president's residence. You won't be able to miss it though. If anyone knows, please let me know!
