went to Trinidad and Tobago, after looking at several possible destinations, we chose the cheapest. When you have decided on the destination on the price, we knew almost nothing of Trinidad and Tobago. As my phone was not working in French Guiana Guyana, I decided put it in the suitcase to check in at the airport in Georgetown, the phone mysteriously was not on the bag when we got to Trinidad ...
Trinidad and Tobago is the richest country in the Caribbean, consists of two islands: Trinidad and Tobago. His wealth is that it has oil and natural gas throughout much. The capital of Trinidad curiously called Port of Spain (Port of Spain) and is quite ugly as a city, it almost has nothing, and what is most striking is that there is a Kentucky Fried Chicken every 50 meters, and is full of restaurants fast food, the island is quite Americanized in general. But hey, the truth is like eating junk food from time to time.
not spoken in a previous post of the currency of Guyana, the Guyanese dollar, which is quite undervalued, well the biggest ticket is $ 1000 Guyanese equivalent to 4 euros, prices in Guyana are somewhat cheaper qu and here but not that much, so every time you withdraw cash or pay anything just to the wallet full of small bills. The fact is that in Trinidad and Tobago goes something like, the largest bill is $ 100 TT, which are 8 euros, and tickets are $ 1 TT equivalent to about 12 cents. So the problem that you return a lot of notes each Once you pay for something is repeated, and one felt a bit like Jesus Gil (rest in peace), to go with a wad of cash in his pocket.
Returning to the journey, our intention was to stay in Trinidad and find a nice beach, we read that there was a beach which was not bad it was called Maracas Beach, there we were, and yes, the beach was beautiful , but no water Maracas for 6 months and hostels were closed, so we went, the driver suggested us a place to go, a resort with beach and pool (The Cave was called), it sounded good. Pongo photo 
, because I I think the worst beach in Spain gives many turns to it to what we called the beach, the pool was mini, but it was not bad, the most important hit of the "resort" in addition to the "beach" was that they had no water from a week ago and the reception we lied and told us that afternoon to the water again, so to wash a "bucket" At night we had dinner not because the nearest place to eat was an hour walk (it was KFC), so we bought a couple of bags of potatoes in the bar of the "resort" in the bar, met some guys saying engaged in stealing, but said they were not afraid ("afraid you will not of my friend ") that were partying and we were going to steal ... is appreciated, anda ...
Morning drive that clears the antrum and decided to take the ferry to Tobago. The ferry is quite expensive costs about 4 euros to change and Tobago takes you over 2 hours.
On the ferry by chance we met Camilla, a Brazilian Portuguese assistant in Cayenne, who was with her sister in Tobago. We decided to continue the journey together. Tobago's capital Scarborough called and no big deal (KFC) and seems to live for ferry passengers. We took a bus to go to a town called Plymouth, just download met the "weight" of the people: "my name is Aldon But You Can Call me sugar" the truth is that the guy was friendly and took us to a place to sleep, but after 1 hour of your company, the kindness became heavy. The site was where we slept very well (Cocrico Inn) and had a swimming pool. We took an apartment for 4 us 8 euros per head out at night, and the truth that where more pay for sleeping on the whole trip cost us 15 eur 
you head per night. Trinidad and Tobago is not expensive. We spent 2 nights in Plymouth, there is not much to do there, so we decided to return to Scarborough and rent a car. We rented a 4x4, a Suzuki Jimny which cost 24 euros per day. The gas in Trinidad and Tobago is shot in price about 25 euro cents / liter. So once we got our car, we went in search of blue water beaches. It must be said that in Trinidad and Tobago drive like the English, and lie a few times to make a turn and get into the lane that was not, but then I caught him the "hang" while Camilla would not let me drive Moreover, not only because distrust of my abilities as a driver, apparently seen, but also because she was the only one with an international driving license. Well the car went to Pidgeon Point, where if there is blue water, but what is the beach is tiny and narrow, I am left with Guardamar. Was on New Year's Eve, we decided to pass in Charlotteville in the north of the island, and was pretty good, find a cheap, clean place to sleep and enjoy that I think is the most beautiful beach in Tobago: Pirate's Bay ( put photo) New Year's Eve party we coupled kayak club Charlotteville, where people were very diverse, from drunken sailors Danish, Dutch pasty Canadian teachers, local people and Squeezy, a showman who sang Calypso and Soca, with we laugh a lot. So it was not bad New Year's Eve. The calypso is the typical music of Trinidad and Tobago, and soca is the evolved version of calypso and what I heard on the island (get a sample of soca) . In fact the national team is called by the Soca Warriors are still flipping for having qualified for the 2006 World Cup, because it is the smallest country to qualify for a World Cup.
From Castara Charlotteville went to another beach town where we ate and slept well and cheap. Of Castara returned to Scarborough the next day to catch the ferry back to Trinidad. In Trinidad we said goodbye to Camilla and her sister and we are looking a place sleep, I can not remember the name but was a little cave and do not sleep well at all. The next day we went to the airport to catch the flight to Paramaribo, but we were wrong and our flight did not leave 
at 10 am, but at 10 pm. So we left our luggage in luggage and spent the day at the mall (Trincity Mall), buy some clothes, went to the movies and ate junk food, glad to "civilized" from time to time. On the plane we met a teacher who works with us at Saint Laurent and share a room with her in Paramaribo, the morning after we took a taxibus to Albina and 12 days after leaving, finally returned home to Saint Laurent.
