Tobago

   Tobago

Tobago is part of the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago located at the southernmost part of the Caribbean (near Venezuela).  The native language is English (or a dialect of it).  The island is beautiful and laid back which is quite relaxing.

There are lots to do and see on the island.  I usually visit at least once every two years. Renting a vehicle is fairly cheap and it gives you the luxury of moving at your own pace.  Public transport is cheap although honestly speaking, I’ve never used it.  Other tourists I meet confess it’s the best for the tourist on a budget.  Public transport consists of shared taxis or buses. If you want, you can hire (privately) either to take you around the island but it would cost you a lot.




If you want to visit the sister island, Trinidad, you can do so by boat (https://ttitferry.com/index.php) or plane (http://www.caribbean-airlines.com/).  The boat takes approximately 2 1/2hrs and depending on the time of the year, the waters may be rough.  The plane takes roughly 30mins.

Travelling with kids

Kids Travelling with kids can be challenging at times.  It is therefore important to be prepared to entertain them or keep them occupied so that you and the rest of the passengers can have some sort of peace. The video may be old but it is on point.   If you have a tablet or laptop etc make sure the battery life is to the max before leaving home so that they can have fun for the entire journey or at least most of it.   Watch the video to the end.   The last one is a classic.
