Last week my parents came to visit me. It was very nice to see them again as it was the first time in over 8 months. Dad didn't believe it was me when we met because of my bleached hair and 'castaway' beard. Mum could finally relax and I could finally go to a restaurant again. I was very pleased to be on easy street again. We ate out (spending a week's budget on a meal), hired a car, and went on two boat trips. The boat trips were my highlight of the week. I'd never done ...

... however, had different ideas and ended up further away than the starting line. In the evening the party began. In Tobago this means big speakers out in the street and plenty rum. We were with a group of mostly Norwegian girls and it was incredible to see the attention they got from the locals. The guys would just come up behind them and start 'wining' (a dance of grinding ...

... next day was interesting but mainly because my guide kept pointing out the obvious the whole time. "this road is very wavy" as we dip in and out of pavement seemingly inspired by laffy taffy. "do you see the water? that's the ocean" umm, yeah. i would imagine it would be seeing as we are surrounded by it. he was very sweet though and kept telling me to eat more oranges, which he then slammed to stop in the middle of the ...

... not ripen until we have left. We were looking for some limes for drinks and discovered that not only do they not have limes as we know them, but "lime" more often means "party." When you hear liming, or lime it is always referring to a party or get together and not a fruit. As for double double...in Canada to patrons of Tim Horton's it means one thing...in Trini and Tobago it means ...

Jetzt verzell ich oi chli vom Carnival. Mir haend ide Tanzband vo minere Tante mitgmacht zum Thema Traumfaenger/Indianer. Also de CArnival fangt am Maentig Morge a, mitem "j'ouvert-Morning". Da gaht mer am Morge frueh am 3 uf d'Strass und fahrt is Zentrum, wo ...

... 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!

3 Taeg haemmer ois am am Carnivalstress welle entzieh und sind z'Tobago an Strand. Das isch wie scho gseit d'Nachbarinsle vo Trinidad. Det gits luuter paradiesischi Sandstraend, viel Sunne und feins Aesse... mmm.... Aber lueged doch d'Bilder saelber ah...

... 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 ...

... Our flight left pretty much on time, and was pleasant enough (GE-90 powered B777 for fellow boffs) and we watched Meet the Fockers on the seat-back TVs. I then managed a bit of a snooze while Andrea sat enthralled through Spongebob Squarepants ("He´s a sponge that lives at the bottom of the sea, and he´s square, so he wear´s square pants" she explained later). We stopped off for an hour or so in Antigua, where about 3/4 or more of the passengers got off. Antigua was ...
