T h i s grand show is eternal.

It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

Waterfalls of the Gilpin Trace, Main Ridge Forest

Waterfalls of the Gilpin Trace, Main Ridge Forest Reserve

The Gilpin Trace is a favourite of nature lovers worldwide. The oldest and most famous bird-watching trail in Tobago, it is also replete with extraordinary greenery, 🦇 numerous lifeforms,🐛 rivers, and yes, waterfalls! 💧

The easily traversable trail meanders through the distinctive and unique ancient forest of Tobago.

From the middle of the forest road, about 500 m above sea level, all the way to the area of Bloody Bay, the total hike is just over 7.3 km.🥾🎒

These are the visible waterfalls on this walk. Some were right next to the path, others were nestled in the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies of the ridge.

A must-see for visitors of Tobago, the Gilpin Trace is the ultimate way to experience the majesty of the oldest proclaimed and protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere.🌴 Whether it's for the more than 210 species of birds,🦜 16 species of mammals,🐐 24 non-poisonous snakes,🐍 16 lizards🦎, many other endemic plants and animals,🦋 or simply the tropical beauty of a natural rainforest,🌿 you will never forget your visit!

Pan in Unity. As Trinbagonians, the steelpan is intrinsic to the music and dance we love and celebrate.

We know the great local pioneers and masters of the instrument by name but it's not often we hear about foreigners who have taken up the pan and fallen in love with it.

My friend, Tracy Thornton, calls TnT his second home as he has been visiting since 1995. Known as The Pan Rocks guy, as well as Panimal, he has been promoting and taking the steelpan to new levels. Fusing it with rock music, he has been helping it reach wider audiences.

PAN IN UNITY is a great representation of the appeal and love of this instrument:

691 musicians
23 countries

Our twin island republic has given so much to the world; the list likely would not fit on this post. Keep on inspiring, TnT! Our culture is beautiful and boundless. Just IMAGINE the possibilities... when we are all ONE LOVE.

Tracy, thank you and keep on RUSHing!

O r d i n a r i l y, in keeping with the integrity

O r d i n a r i l y, in keeping with the integrity of our "Hidden Gems" tour, I rarely post these sacred wonders of Tobago, but could not resist this one.

Nestled deep in the virgin forest of the Main Ridge on the Charlotteville side, up a mountain known to the villagers as "Pigeon Hill," lies the POOL OF ASYLUM.

Extremely hard to get to and known only by one or two of the local villagers, the pool is a crater of fresh water atop a ridge, more than 1,800 feet above sea level.

It is said that the pool is protected by the “Father Of The Forest" (Papa Bois) and a “Fairy Maid." 🧚‍♀️

Historically, hunters and their dogs would get lost for days when they approached the pool, which is surrounded by soft, quicksand-type mud, making the location tricky and dangerous to reach.

Charlotteville's elders claim the pool is bottomless and thus a culture of fear has developed around it; the pool's very existence almost forgotten as a result.

How this pool, which has no water system feeding it, exists independently, even in the dry season, on top of a hill, is a mystery.

I made the intense trek into the forest with my friend, Leeton, in search of the Pool of Asylum. After almost giving up, there it was, mysterious and enchanting. 🦄

Finding it was a must. It will be featured in The Chronicles of Kairi - Book 2, Creature From The Pitch Lake, due out late this summer.

Our home of Trinidad and Tobago is a fantastic place and a true gem of the Caribbean. Loving and learning about our home will help us both love and understand ourselves and one another more.

As wordsmith David Rudder once said about music being that "mighty place that I can take you, the rhythm to soothe your soul, and the melody that would never fake you, will lead you back to control," I submit the same for nature.

Seek it out. Connect with Mother Earth. Hear her divine music in the wind, the leaves and the mellifluous birdsong. Soothe your soul and find true peace, together.

Happy exploring!

It's World Read Aloud Day! 📚
.
When I was growing up, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island ☠ had a huge impact on me. One of my teachers read it aloud and I can still remember the words.
.
That's why today we join people from around the world in celebrating the power of reading aloud.
.
Thank you to the Honourable Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, Minister of Education, Trinidad and Tobago, and all school librarians such as Asha Mahabir who have chosen to read and celebrate Mystery at Main Ridge.

TGIT bookworms! 📚🐛
Today I'm SOOO excited to share with you my latest read, Mystery At Main Ridge, A Tobago Folklore Story by local author, David Rajpaulsingh. This book is one of seven and I cannot wait to get my hands on the entire series as I absolutely loved the first book! This will be a great local collection for my library😁
📖
From Douens in the forest to Soucouyants flying in the sky, this folklore story offers so much history and entertainment based on our rich culture in Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹 I feel like this story is a good way to introduce folklore characters to new generations as the main characters are also children. This was a very easy but intriguing read and there is so much to learn (keep your phones / laptops close because you will be researching quite a bit to find out more). The best part for me? This book was not scary at all ! 💃🏻LOL
Don't get me wrong though, the scary fables of long ago that were told to us as children must not be maligned or forgotten BUT this story has a very unique twist. I have never read a book on T&T's folklore characters like this one.
📖
Be sure to check out my stories for more! I'd be posting about this exciting mystery in the coming days🤭
📖
Thank you @allisonmykoo for gifting and introducing me to this great local read and kudos to the author @islandgirltourstt on a job very well done!
📖
You can DM me to grab your very own copy for $170.00 📚 The illustrations featured in the books (will be posted on my stories) are also for sale, DM @allisonmykoo for more info!
📖
Sidenote - The Silk Cotton Tree located at Culldeon Golden Lane Road, Tobago fell yesterday. Locals warn of spirits roaming, especially that of Gang Gang Sarah👻😱 Read this book to learn more😉
Happy Local Reading Everyone!🙋‍♀️
