if yuh go to the national museum by memorial park they could hook u up with tours of port of spain by the national historical society or some such name.  i hear they are really interesting.  its a bus and walk tour that could take a morning to get through.

Buy some kites and take the kids to the savanah in town, buy them ice cream, coconut water, palourie etc. You could make a whole afternoon of fun for them that way and it cheap.
Take them to the beach as much as possible.
In Tobago again is beach but also take them to the fort up by the hospital and up in Plymoth.

Maybe movietown is an option for them too.
Ah know everything is town but really ah don't know of any attractions for kids down south apart from maybe the pitch lake.

Friday ya gone yet ?

Speaking ah vacation
Hoe a question to you

Ah know yaz ah arima kid, so lemme ask ya

A few years ago i did a hike in arima....it was a naturalist club ah went with.
To reach the destination it took us 3.5 hours. There was a particular waterfall after we cross a wooden/rope bridge that i swear ah see god and 4 angels telling me 'who send meh, ya ass'.

Ah know is not much to go on, but i remember starting the hike on the main road.  Ya have any idea what that waterfall name ?
ah want to send some people back home on dat hike....honestly think it was one of the most beautiful sites of my life time.

holla nah
