Well I’ve been living in Tobago for a month now but hav’nt done any sight seeing or tourist stuff apart from some late nights in bars after long days at work. I should finally get a better rota next week so I’ll try to get out a bit more. I need to buy a camera though. I don’t have a camera on my cheap mobile.
It’s definately different down here. Actually I’m starting to use that phrase a lot. Life just moves a lot slower here. Straight out of the hectic pace of the UK this can be frustrating from a work point of view. Socially it’s not a problem though!
I’ve already been to a fancy dress party. With hardly any clothes to use I went in jeans & t-shirt but brought a plastic sword & a couple of water pistols. I was told the theme was ethnic so I went as a Somali boat pirate!
Current rough guide to the exchange rate here is £1 gets you almost $10TT (Trinidad & Tobago dollar). $1 US gets you about $6TT. It’s easy to convert your foreign cash to TT but bloody hard to convert TT to USD if you don’t yet have a bank account! My advice is don’t convert more cash to TT than you need for a couple of days holiday at a time.
I found this satelite photo of Tobago. Click on the picture to view the zoomable image.

Well I’m off all tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll be ‘liming’, the local term for socializing with alcohol involved. You can be liming a lot, but hey, it really is different down here. See you in the Crown Point Hotel bar & the Royalton casino, where I’ve been hanging out!
