Home Travel Diving Running Kids Mail us		Sunday 4 August This summer we escape to Tobago to stay in Garry and Sabine's wonderful new house, villa Petrus. The name gives a clue to the quality and style of the place. Beautiful hill top views of mountain landscape with the sea in the distance, furnishing in excellent taste and the biggest pool you have ever seen. We share this luxury accomodation with Fi, Richard and family and Penny and Mike. Tobago is well supplied with beach side bars to enjoy a sundowner in. At Turtle Beach we are serenaded by an excellent three man Calypso band who compose a song especially for Louise. Tobago also has a fantastic selection of beautiful beaches. Here Tommy and Johny are wandering down Mt Irvine beach, just down the hill from our Villa on the Caribbean coast. The Atlantic side of the island is rougher as you can see from the waves behind Vicky and Louise on the Hilton Beach. Richard learns from the locals that aloe is a great cure for sunburn. We are not clear why after paying the guy for an all over treatment he then goes in the sea and washes it all off. Perhaps reading in the sea is one way of stopping the burning sensation? Mount Irvine beach also has a beach bar that serves great chips - a hit with the boys, as well as fried flying fish, roti and all the local favourites. Having had our lunch we buy our dinner from one of the local fishermen who set up their stall every afternoon by the beach wall. The fish are so fresh they are still moving. We find a huge grouper that once baked keeps us going for days. Click the beer for more action
