Trinidad & Tobago – a backpackers perspective.
Trinidad airport. Passing through customs, buying the prerequisite bus ticket, and (eventually) finding the bus stop, was the straightforward part. The wait for the bus proved more challenging. It took just under 3-hours to arrive, despite the schedule claiming it … Continue reading

Island hopping in the beautiful Caribbean: St Lucia.
Unfortunately, my next flight (St Vincent to St Lucia) involved a 4-hour layover in Barbados – making the total journey time nearly 8-hours. Then the flight from Barbados to St Lucia was delayed by an hour. Realising the impending lateness … Continue reading
Island hopping in the beautiful Caribbean: St Vincent & the Grenadines.
“Love the life you live. Live the life you love.” Bob Marley. Arriving at Argyl International Airport was a smooth, easy process and the first passport control, thus far, to kindly place a visa stamp in my passport. My accommodation, … Continue reading
