Half Moon Blue Tobago

... Tobago has an Atlantic coast and a Caribbean coast, both have sandy beaches but the Atlantic coast can be somewhat wilder – quite like Cornwall. The airport is located at the southernmost point of ...

... very deep. 'Deep enough to jump from the top' I thought. I didn't want to scare my mum, although of course I did, but it just looked so appealing. 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...').

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... else. In many places there are people selling "doubles" out of the backs of trucks...for example at the airport in Trinidad. A double is two pieces of fried dough filled with a concoction of curry and spices and pigeon peas, covered in green and hot sauces...and doubles are fantastic. A double double (two doubles) costs a little more than $1.00 and is a very filling breakfast!

... 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...

... they have a very strong tourist flow from Europe specifically Germany. They also have a strong partnership with Canada. Tobago flaunts its white sandy beaches and everything the Caribbean offers. They market the laid back lifestyle without loosing its culture. Tourism is very important to the island but its culture is the real lure of travels to Tobago. The two islands have an annual joined festival called ...

... in the Caribbean. Now the endangered turtles, their eggs and subsequent hatchlings are protected by law, which has seen turtle numbers rise in recent years and gives the resort a fantastic nocturnal attraction (and which is one of the main reasons why we chose this place to venture to). We actually saw two turtles nest that night ...
