Amber I had the pleasure of visiting the Hot and Cold lake. Its awesome. You can actually see the vapor rising out of the hot side of the Lake. The water is black. They have a beautiful resort there.

Riya it would be like the hot spring in Tampa..but its all hot there...I would certainly like to visit this place...can u imagine with a bit of investment that country can be great for tourism...

Ambs..they have a resort at Mainstay...
Mainstay lake is lovely too!

they have white sand beach in Onderneeming (i think)..with huge cliffs!

u have to see Pomeroon..awesome!

Lynn, that is the Resort I'm talking about. I stayed at Main Stay Lake Resort and visited the Hot and Cold lake in Suddie.

Suddie is beautiful. The beach is awesome. You can tie wan hammock and lay there all day. Thats what I did

Lynn and Riya.....i am so jealour of you gurls!!
You did a lot of travelling in GY.

I lived in Demerara and the further i visited was up to parika and Mahaica.

never went to Essequibo or any of the other small islands or Berbice

and now that i have the freedom and means to do so....i am too scared to go plus my hubby doesn't like the heat

Lynnster. There’s an Airy Hall way down the ECD in Mahaicony….is that the one you’re talking about?

I think it’s a bit past the “haunted” tree that spilt the road.

Hi VG, I was fortunate in that sense that I was able to see Guyana. I pretty much know all of Demerara and Berbice. I still want to do the interior. That would be awesome!

Isn't that haunted tree gone? Someone said it use to bleed they tried to cut it down

VG, the furthest I ever went is Parika also...visited Tuschen on my last visit to GY...

However, I went all the way down to Corentyne B-ce and to Linden...

I keep telling you...take a trip with friends...nothing to be scared about and the vertigo will disappear

Oh, i thought someone said it got too old and broke at the roots.

Even though I grew up in Guyana, I must say I don't know much about places, except for Berbice.
