Well just thought I would let you know what ive been up to for the past few days. We moved into our new accomodation a few days ago and I have basically been swimming and sunbathing a lot plus we have all been into the local town which is quite interesting as there are no real shops just places to eat and it makes you remeber that you are in quite a poor country. We had a really nice meal at TGI's the other night and drank far too many ultimate cocktails but the...

Hi finished again already in the hospitals, our team are on call tonight but we decided to head back as we have to sort out accommodation and also Sam joins us later and we have to sort out the extra bed in the room for her. Tomorrow will at least be busy in the morning with a long ward round scheduled! We went to TGI Fridays last night, the food was gorgeous and plentiful which is always good, Anni was extra chuffed as she got a Trinidad TGI badge for her TG...

We then went back to movie town to look round the shops before heading off to the taste T&T food festival. You could either pay TT$250 which is abut 25 pound to eat from four different chefs of ...

Having sorted out our accommodation for the next few nights we thought it would be good to explore the city and visit the hosital. We picked up a cab to central town for $2 each (just less than 20p!) and started looking around. Lunch consisted of tasting local delicassies e.g. cow heel soup, scallop potatoes and some very sour chilli plums. We saw the hospital and managed to find a guest house that would do a deal for us with swimming pool and jacuzzi. They a...
