Cayenne to Saul

DAY 13, LEG 66 - Cayenne to Saul

Our final leg of the day takes us southbound again to a small village in central French Guiana called Saul.  The village is very small, and very remote.  It is only accessible by air and is home to less than 200 people.  There are two small tourist resorts near the village and the airport brings tourists to and from these resorts year round, normally by Twin Otter from Air Guyane Express.  The runway is fairly long for a remote airstrip at 1200m and is more than enough for the B1900D.  We are going to spend the night at this unique place.

About to taxi out at Cayenne as a Taf Air 737-200 taxies out for departure to Macapa on the northeastern coast of Brazil.

Long final to Saul.
