Trip to Trinidad & Tobago

I had a great vacation to Trinidad and Tobago this past weekend. Check out some of my favourite shots:

View of Port of Spain, some of the tallest buildings I've seen in 8 months.

 

Some 'Home Away From Home ' Shots taken in Trinidad!

 

Tori (Toronto) & I excited for some real french fries! 

Despite enjoying some delicious local Roti and Doubles, we also indulged in some comfort food. 

 Caroni Bird Sanctuary, Trinidad.  A good time, despite the rain.

Pigeon Point, Tobago.  Saw my first goat race (very popular in Tobago) and an artificial waterfall

  

                                                         Kike (Germany) & I

Snorkeling in the Buccoo Reef, Tobago.

Nylon Pool, Tobago
An area of knee high water in the middle of the ocean!

   

(The sand is said to make you look ten years younger!) 

Argyle Waterfalls, Tobago

 

Getting a back massage from the highest falls!

Botanical Gardens, Trinidad

  

We had some good luck, and some bad but overall the three of us had a great experience.  It was really interesting to see a caribbean country that is economically run by oil, versus tourism.  Trinidad is much more industrial than Barbados and Dominica, and appears to be nearly as ethnically diverse as Canada.  Tobago shares similar nature to Dominica, but feels even more laid-back than Barbados.  It was a very interesting to compare the different islands and I am very happy I had this opportunity.  Less than two weeks until I am back in Canada.  Let's hope there is no more snow then!
