The Mermaid Hotel Tobago

... Flynn and his group. The Blue Haven still has a historic and colonial atmosphere with bedrooms with the traditional high ceilings. The north of the island begins to get remote, beyond Speyside. If you want ...

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 ...

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 ...

hello peasants. you poor lot. slaving away in some wretched building or on some dark, fake set. my heart goes out to you. meanwhile, *****es, i'm in trinidad and tobago!! i saw an empty spot on my calendar and checked my map, checked orbitz, and booked the next flight out. i chose t and t because of the culture, the beaches and the food. the food has an indian bent to it and it's sooo yumms! the beaches are not so hot in ...

... 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 ...

... 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...

... government/non-government organizations. We were dispersed out into the community to the hospitals, health care clinics, schools, cultural outreach departments, and environmental departments. I was surprised to learn of the system of government in T&T. The nation itself is a parliamentary system modeled after the British system however, the island of Tobago is modeled by the USA's Federal System. It's ...

... be. No wonder it has ranked in the world's best beach experiences in times gone by. One of the few French-named towns, Parlatuvier Bay is a little further along the coast, overlooked by a stripey safety wall tailor/welder/stonemason Wayne Gray helped build before he became an excellent independent rainforest guide. I'd argue that this is the nicest ...
