In the end I couldn't find a place with a small enough curve that I felt I could safely enough jump from the top so I climbed down a little. My mum was happy about that. She also fell in love with a higher level waterfall which you could shower in. She felt like she was in a film (although I reckon she really meant 'I'm a celebrity...').

Tobago celebrates Easter by holding their famous (to them) goat races. When we got there i was worried to hear that the goats had jockeys. Fortunately for the goats though, the comical image of a full grown man on a goat was left to my imagination as the jockeys had to run alongside their goat to steer them and spur them on. It was all very fun after a few beers and the comentators ...

... and would be even moreso if there was sun! However, this notion that Englishmens' is one of the best in the whole Caribbean is a bit much...it's not even close to Vieques and many other Virgin Islands for example... We are trying to remain up beat but we're soggy and mosquito bitten!

... crawly jungle critters, completely camoflaged into the environment and only really noticable because the trapdoor lid is just a little too symmetrical. The hole it constructs is a work of art - black as hell in its depths, silky smooth and perfectly circular from the tapered mouth. It is here that the spider sits, just inside its doorway, awaiting ...

... interlude with sun dappled, white sand beaches, intoxicating with the scent of over ripe guavas, bamboo tinkling like wind chimes in the breeze. We hired a motorcycle, we overheated, we broke down, we fell off, we crashed into banks, bugs feared us.
