Saturday morning was kind of rough since we didn't go to bed
until like 1am haha. We were all up & ready by 7 on the dot & headed
down to Scarborough for our Rainforest hike in Gilpin Trace National Park. Once
there we were met by our tour guide, Junior Thomas. He gave us all a pair of
rain boots to borrow then we were on our way through the trail. The first was
super nice & shady the whole time. Hearing the birds & water, smelling
the nature around us, & seeing a the pretty plants was a nice comparison to
Washington's forests. Of course they were very different types of forests but
still, it was nice haha. The hike was 2 hours long & during it, we stepped
in huge puddles of mud, took pictures in front of huge bamboo plants & got
to swing on some vines! It was a day well spent. We got back to the cabins with
an hour to get ready before we left to catch our flight back to Trinidad. It
was sad to leave Tobago because it was such a beautiful place & we got to
do so many new things but we will definitely be back to visit! At baggage
claim, we met a local Trinidadian artist, Olatunji, or Ola, & got to take
pictures with him! Varsha followed him on IG saw that he posted a picture of us
on his page so we were all super excited haha. You can pretty much say we're
famous ;) Roger Rabbit picked us up & took us straight back to the lodge.
We all disbursed & unpacked/had dinner together at 7 again along with a
meeting to debrief on the past week. It was a great week overall & coming
back to the lodge is bittersweet... Now we have to mentally prepare for classes
at UWI which start on Monday! Ahhh!
