Salybia

Strange sounding name that is. It's the name of a village in the north east of Trinidad. Yes, I know those of you who go to Trinidad probably only went to Port Of Spain. Well Trinidad does have lush green hillside and postcard perfect scenes too, just like Grenada. Didn't see any cows though.

In this village there is a resort called, expectedly, Salybia Nature Resort & Spa. I believe it's the only one of its kind in Trinidad, but I stand to be corrected. Anyway, this is where I stayed on the last night of the first stay in Trinidad, and where I stayed for the last two nights of the second stay in Trinidad.

Thanks to a friend dating back to UWI Nassau days who is a consultant there....and he insists that I put up these pictures. Wanted to know why I chose to put up pictures of Mad Bull's cousins instead of one of the resort. As I am back home now and internet connection is better, here goes....

Hmmm, either I took the picture at dusk or mi neva tun on di flash!

With a little bit of work, the resort has a lot of potential. The beach that it is on is not safe for swimming, but the mainly local clientele does not seem to mind.

I am sorry I never got to see any of T'Dad (except the airport) on the way to Tobago.

Nice pics, you could use Microsoft Photo Wizard (or is it Editor?) to lighten the pictures if they seem too dark Mich.
