The last two days have been relatively chilled out. Yesterday we spent the day reading and relaxing. We popped to the beach opposite in the morning but got harassed by Trinidad men and then a quick tropical storm started which was a very good excuse to escape. We popped back later when the beach was a bit quieter (they all play football on it on a Sunday morning) had a swim and a sunbathe. The tan is continuing to develop however I always feel like it's fading wh...

I've had a busy two days. Shades nightclub last night was a good giggle. After reading Internet reviews and hearing what people say about the place I was rather apprehensive to say the least. Luckily we had no problems what so ever. Rum punch was drank and lots of dancing was done to a mixture of rnb chart music and soco (Trinidad and tobagos own music). So yes, a really fun night even if I did wake this morning with a slight hangover! Today we went on our first...

I have now successfully finished placement for the week! It's been fun and I've learnt some bits and bobs and have come accross lots of potential ethical matters to discuss in my report when I return to England. Yesterday we went to store bay despite the odd bit of torrential rain. We did get some scoring sun whilst on the beach, it's too hot to lie down for long before you have to go in the sea to cool down. I had a chicken roti for lunch near the beach and I w...

I've now been in tobago and it's starting to grown on me. The accommodation is ok, despite the frequent any invasions an the consequent following with spray and microporous tape to cover up the holes they are escaping from. I also met a cockroach in the bathroom in the middle of the night, again not too nice. I'm in the a&e department and that seems to be going ok. Learning some bits and bobs and getting better at Understanding the caribbean accent! A group...

So the mission of a journey isn't quite over yet. We survived the 3 hour drive from rotunda to miami. Established Miami is a bit of a dump so I can rule that out of my future travel plans. The flight to Trinidad was uneventful and went quite quickly. The sights from the window were beautiful, I've never seen sea so bright blue/tourquoise before! We then survived immigration just. A number of questions were asked which i survived and one point I really didn't thin...
