Matt and Ant's Travels
The weather in the morning looked really good so we decided that instead of going to the rum factory we would go Kayaking at Chaguramas. We walked all the way into town and waited a good hour before finally managing to get on a free Maxi (taxi but bigger and goes on a particular route). The journey there was quite long an yet it only cost 40p each just to give you a faint idea of the costs out here! We finally came across the man in the middle of nowhere with a shack containing hundreds of Kayaks quite random! We paid our 2 pounds and each set off into the ocean for a sail around. Matt however found that with an increase in weight the boat sinks lower in the water and gets the water level to be around his belly button! Was a very funny sight. Anyway it was all good fun and then we tried to get a ride home only to find that the maxis were all full as they passed by the shack so we had no option but to carry on in the wrong direction down the road until we got to the end of the line and then wait inthe middle of nowhere until a maxi came along!
We grabbed some dinner and came home to get ready for our first big night out in T&T. We headed off to Zen nightclub which is not too far from where we are staying and is the biggest club in the caribbean! It was truly awesome....the girls all got free drinks as we came in much to the boys annoyance an the everyone apart from me proceeded to get nice an drunk it was really quite funny to watch the girls think they could challenge some supermodels dancing on the bar. Just to remind you these are gorgeous black women who really know how to move and then Sam and Rynn wanting to get up an be better then them! It really was funny. We danced the night away and then the Rastafarians came on stage and sang reggae to us til the early hours of the morning. It was really an experience to see how the locals have fun and instead of going to the Kebab shop on the way home we stopped at the stalls on the side of the road to enjoy some Shark!
