Introducing Coastal Plain
The coastal plain, an area heading east from Georgetown to the Suriname border, can be traversed via the Eastern Hwy. The road travels through town after unremarkable town, passing potholes, suicidal dogs, unfenced livestock and the resultant road kill. Rosignol, about a two-hour drive from Georgetown, is where the road ends; a massive antique ferry then travels over the Berbice River to New Amsterdam (often referred to as ‘Berbice’) and the continuing road to the border.
