Return to Tobago

From Tobago 2011

It's now day 2 of a two week break at Alison's villa in Tobago. Supposedly, we are in the dry season now, but we seem to have been on the receiving end of several fairly intense downpours each day, so everything is looking rather lush outside, as opposed to the scorched brown that would usually be the case at this time of the year. At least it is warm, and a welcome change from cold grey Brentford.
The villa is surrounded by a bird sanctuary, and we are visited by many different birds, who come to see what morsels might be on offer on our balcony. The rather fine specimen in the photo is a motmot (its tail is even more impressive but I didn't manage to get it in the photo).
My aim this holiday is mainly to do as little as possible, apart from reading and practicing guitar, interspersed with a frew Carib beers and the odd G&T. So far, this is working out as planned!
