Good old Gervais had a real treat planned for us today. A trek through the rain forest to Celery Bay. All downhill too (ah, of course that meant all uphill on the way back…). The hike was amazing and followed a trail c180-200 years old, used to bring fish up […]
Had a very chilled day around the appartment, playing games, eating and generally slobbing about. It was a beautiful sunny day so we were looking forward to a late afternoon watching the sunset at Irvine bay about 40 minutes walk from our appartment. And what a truly fabulous treat it […]
Thelma and Dougie very kindly treated us to a whistlestop tour of the island (they don’t do this for just anyone you know, so don’t get your hopes up 😉 ). Out round the island tour took in James Fort, Plymouth (site of the oldest fort in Tobago), Footprints Eco […]
Started the day with one of my fabulous (even if I say so myself) cooked breakfasts and fruit salads in preparation for out planned guided hike up to a waterfall. At the arranged time the lovely Gervais, our guide for the afternoon, picked us up and off we went to […]

Leisurely morning and then picked up by our friendly and now familiar taxi man, Parish. This time we were off to Las Cuevas, the next beach along from Maracas Bay. As we headed out of town, evidence of the previous nights “Jouvert” celebrations was everywhere in the form of paint […]
