tobago

its been over a week, but i thought it deserving of a recap

day 1

we got off the plane from port of spain 4 hours late to find our local shoeless with our cabbie, piggy. they had been drinking for the 4 hours they had been waiting for us. we hopped in the cab, stopped at the nearest bodega, and all had a beer as we got a tour of the south tip of the island and made our way to the villa.

day 2

no water in the faucets, so we went to the beach, then jumped in the pool to wash off, then finally showered in the horizontal stream created when we turned the tap on the pool water tank.

day 3

the housekeeper showed us how to fix the water. the gill and the spaniard cooked amazing food, while i read about paras in colombia. more beach, more beer, more pool.

day 4

it rained in the morning but in the afternoon, the gill and i went exploring. we found a bird sanctuary and took some nice sunset pictures on the beach. i got some good hammocking time in too.

day 5

dk & caroline arrived and more beers were consumed. more beach. more beer. rum punch. and some excellent food.

day 6

now that we had the beachmobile in our posession we went beach hopping all over the southern caribbean side. the first beach was Back Bay Beach which was very secluded, and felt like a safari as we drove down the path to the entrance. at the surfing beach, we witnessed a domestic fight, got some roti, then went to the grocery store, which is dangerous when you have jorge around.

day 7

3 bodies of water. pool, beach, waterfall. in the morning, gill taught me a racing start jump into the pool. dylan proceeded to jump in the pool from the balcony. then we went hiking to a waterfall and jumped in. then to the beach. then back to the pool. drinking and dancing on the town followed.
