Sat. 18th August 2012 …or a mojito. That was the tough choice at the end of the day. Both are good, both ubiquitous and both have a good dollop of rum to help relieve the stresses in tired muscles. We …
Day 6: Trinidad (No, Not That One!)
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/DSC00132_thumb.jpg
Sun. 19th August 2012 Another 8:30 start which we made – just, after sleeping through our alarm. We cycled back up the road to the Indian before turning right and kept going until we reached Trinidad. The scenery was beautiful, …
