We decided we’d see more if we walked rather than biked. So for our last full day here we trundled ashore and went by foot.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>We did indeed see more than perhaps we might. We found an interesting tortoise monument, a pretty library\/primary school, a memorial (including a plaque for Princess Margaret), a bamboo church, <\/a>a roaming iguana, another tortoise (no picture as he looked a bit like the other one) and plenty of great views.\n<\/p>\n

Our walk took us to the north east and north of the island walking round the airport anti clockwise and taking in the coastal path all round the north east. The airport was very quaint with a thatched roof terminal. On the way back we were lucky to see a plane land just as we were passing the end of the runway.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>The coastal trail around the north east end was well worth the effort of getting there. Facing the Atlantic, the coast was more rugged than the west side and the ocean had greater energy. We still got to see many splendid homes including one or two being (re)constructed. The island has only 120 lots so there can’t be too many entirely new developments \u2013 especially on the prime spots which these were.\n<\/p>\n

We didn’t finish the walk until 11:30 and were consequently quite hot from the close to midday sun. The afternoon was taken up with reading and some online work.\n<\/p>\n

Today we’re out of here and off the World’s End Reef just east of Tobago Cays. My guess is we’ll be off the net for a few days but we’ll still blog via SSB. I am trying to get back into the habit of one blog per day written in the morning when we tend to get best access to internet.\n<\/p>\n
