Landhouses and Co.

A cosy part of our work was to film inside of the land houses ( the best translation for "Landhuis" would be plantation house). They were built in a way to get adequate ventilation and good sight to other land houses, in case of emergency. Most of them still have part of the old furniture, and of course "ghost" tales, like land house Ascension: "shon" Martin, a slave supervisor, was buried close to the house in a way to keep watching over the slaves, who would always claim to see his ghost...But today this place is quite safe, since the Dutch marine uses it for training.
St. Juan and Cas Abou are other well preserved land houses, St. Nicolas is being renovated.
Between a visit and another, we have a break on the beach again. On the way back, we stop at this nice dark-red country house :Papaya.
The kunuku houses where used by the slaves and were built of different materials, there are many good preserved kunuku houses still in use.
