Margarita and Canaria

As we were now such big horse riding fans, we decided to do another days riding in Trinidad, starting off with a ride through the cobbled streets of the town outskirts.

We had to walk the horses down this steep hill, as their shoes would slip easily on the tar. My horse, Canaria, was particularly slippy and was not so keep to walk down.

We stopped off at a sugar cane farm on route, where me met this character. I think he must win the award as the most interesting / amusing chap we met on the trip, he looks so funny in his shiny shades, and had a pretty amusing voice as he serenaded us.

Susan took this video of our friendly guy singing. I will try upload a second one later (this one took so long!)

Squeezing the sugar cane for juice for us. Throw in a few limes, and it was the most delicious juice, and we wolfed down 2 glasses in super quick time - I really wish we could get that in London. CHEERS!

We also stopped at a local nature reserve, with a short walk to wonderful pool for a welcome swim. Sadly, none of the photos are that fantastic, but it was lovely.

It was possible to swim underneath this waterfall, and there was a cave behind it, with just enough room to breath, tilting your head back so your nose could stay above water, and you could go reasonably far in. At the end the roof became slightly higher so you could fit your head in comfortably. The colour of the water and rocks in there was amazing.

Yum, coconut!


Next we stopped at a familys farm for some lunch.


And they had cute rabbits on the farm!
