Postcard Tuesday

Adventure day - caught a bus over to Speyside and found the recommended "Red Man" to take us snorkelling - he also took us to land on the island of Little Tobago, passing Goat Island on the way where Ian Fleming used to live. Little Tobago is a nature reserve, we saw frigatebirds, pelcans, brown boobies, laughing gulls, terns and brown noddies! The snorkelling was real fun - we floated around above Angel Reef, spotting blue, yellow, red and black fish darting in and out among cushions of coral and trees of coral with white tips. It was difficult to get back home as no buses showed up but we were advised to flag down route taxis which have a P registration. They charge just double the bus fare. We got back to find that there was fruit available here for the first time - unlike Guyana where there is fruit on every corner. Someone should start a business shipping it over here!
