Port de Paix

I was last in Haiti in Feb, 2011 and took hundreds of photos, and have finally gotten around to publishing those I took enroute to the Northernmost port city in Haiti, lively and colorful Port-de-Paix, so check out this video I made that takes you from the surrounding countryside from the south on into Port-de-Paix, even along the waterfront with the old pirate hangout of Tortuga in the distance, on about town some more and into the outlaying districts, before heading back out of town and south again, even stopping at a cemetery along the way. Life and death are married in Haiti.

I would like to visit more old forts and such next time I go. We almost went to Tortuga. You must take a boat to get there. I do not believe there is any greater danger there than anywhere in Haiti. From Port au Prince to Port de Paix is a good half a day of rugged, bumpy driving and you will need a good truck or SUV.

Thanks for making this slide show I would of liked to see some of the older buildings and forts from the Colonial days though. It is my dream to go to Tortuga Island but I hear it is to dangerous. How safe did you feel there? How hard was it to get to Port de Paix from Port au Prince airport?
