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 ...

... pretty funny and very drunk themselves. In between the goat races they held two crab races. The second was the international race and anyone whose country wasn't yet represented could join. England was taken all too quickly, but I managed to persuade/force katrine to represent Norway. Using a stick, the jockeys had to guide the crabs over a measly two metre course. Katrine's ...

... 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 ...

There is a reason they call it the rain forest! Unfortunately it has been raining pretty much non stop since we arrived. We did finally get our luggage which in and of itself was miracle. We have toured the leeward side of the isalnd and the beaches at Castara and Englishmen's Bay really are ...

Not the best start in the world - our 7.45am flight to Trinidad was seriously delayed - the reason given was that 'the batteries weren't working'. Batteries? I'm no aviation expert but I expected our plane to rely on something a little more complex than a pair of duracells! What was worse was that we could see the maintenance crew and the pilots on the runway with the bonnet up pulling and tweaking at things in the engine. Nobody seemed to ...

Weekend "holidays" at Tobago. Disappointed by the dul and hectic (for caribbean standards) atmosphere of Trinidad, i decided to go to Tobago for the weekend before heading off to Barbados on Monday. Tobago is much more relaxed island, non industrial and rich in beautiful beaches ...
