As a Dutch colony Suriname was a plantation economy. Even now you can still find remnants of the colonial grandeur dotted around the country. More often than not the buildings are in an awful state, but in recent years owners have been restoring the historical heritage. This is also the case for Plantation Peperpot, situated across from Paramaribo on the bank of the Suriname river. By coincidence I know the owner, but unfortunately he was not in Suriname to give us a tour. Perhaps next time...
