Limin' in Da Room (14 - 15 December 2010)

We have got so good at "limin'", the beach is so quiet and nice, the sun is shining, so we spend the day chillin' out at the beach and on the big balcony to Ant's room. Lunch cooked by the grumpiest person in the world at the cafe downstairs, but the best fried chicken ever - the secret is all in the spices and herbs, including Caribbean thyme. No wonder she came second in a recent Tobago cooking competition with it. One of our jobs on such a quiet day was to book ferries all the way up the Leeward Island chain so we could stop off as and when we wanted. Slight problem, we find there are big gaps in the ferry schedules with no ferries between some of the islands - result, it looks like we go to the top tier of LIAT's frequent flyer scheme..... Their punctuality record is a bit low, it's said that LIAT stands for "leave island any time".....


We take the first of these tonight to Grenada so are whiling away the morning in the rain (a large cloud over Tobago with clear skies everywhere else in the Caribbean- looks like it is time to move on!)

Dinner at Marguarite's again last night and our protein of choice was goat, tasted very good. And we make a new cocktail which we have named the Castara Cocktail. Essentially made from what was available in a non licensed restaurant. Orange juice (well Minute Maid, a sort of squash), lemon and lime bitters and a generous splash of "special water". Special water being our illicit rum smuggled into said non licensed restaurant disguised in a water bottle. It is to be recommended.......
