We have now been in Trinidad about two weeks and we have been busy!
 |
| Home at last! Just a little luggage - the 4 pieces of hand luggage didn't make the picture. |
Landing at 4:40am, we were taken to our new apartment to drop our bags and took off for breakfast and touring. By noon we had already visited a golf course to inquire about memberships, mall to learn about cell phones and a grocery store for, well, groceries, and picked up our 'new' car!
Over the first week we had a lot of list-checking to do but we also managed to fit in golf courses and squash club inquiries as well as watching a lot of squash at the CASA (Caribbean Area Squash Association) Senior Championships. It was the reason we arrived so early after all. We even made it to the north coast for a beach day and a bake and shark!
What have we learned so far?
- Trinis are incredibly friendly, welcoming, helpful people.
- The rainy season really is rainy. It rains every. single. day.
- The driving is fun. They drive on the left here with lots of cars, few roads, poor signage and their own set of rules - no daydreaming allowed!
- They love to eat. Gym membership required...
- We scored an apartment with an amazing view!
