Guide to Trinidad by J. H. Collens Pdf

Excerpt from Guide to Trinidad: A Handbook for the Use of Tourism and Visitors Although a resident in this colony of ten years' standing, I have not undertaken this task, pleasant as it has been, without serious misgivings, knowing as I do full well that there are many far more competent than myself to do justice to this beautiful island. Trinidad is, however, daily becoming more widely appreciated, as evidenced by the increased number of visitors flocking here, and I could not help feeling that a 'Guide, ' simply and plainly telling what there is to see, and how to see it, would not be utterly useless. This little handbook is not intended, in the slightest degree, to rival the excellent works already in the field. Even to disclaim this notion is so presumptuous that I would not do it did I not wish to draw attention to the fact that if, in the course of these pages, I have awakened in the reader the desire to learn more of Trinidad, he could not do better than peruse the admirable books of Mr. Gustave Borde and Dr. de Verteuil. I will take this opportunity of acknowledging my deep indebtedness to the numerous friends who have rendered me willing assistance. Particularly with regard to Chapters VIII. and X., I should have been literally nowhere without the information gleaned and matter obtained from clergy and ministers of all the denominations therein mentioned. Others in different ways have been equally helpful. Doubtless, in spite of vigilance, mistakes (I am afraid not a few) will have crept in here and there, and in such a case I shall feel obliged if my readers will kindly take the trouble to set me right.

Adventure Guide to Trinidad and Tobago by Kathleen O'Donnell Pdf

Although definitely a part of the Caribbean, these two islands are unique, refusing to conform with the stock Caribbean image created by glossy brochures and travel agencies. They are both generous and Caribbean-spirited, but quite capable of going their own way. This Adventure Guide takes you across the nation from mountains and hills to grasslands, savannahs and palm-lined beaches, offering the intrepid traveler a ticket to explore. Birdwatchers are drawn by the chance to see the beautiful scarlet ibis. Night-time excursions allow visitors to watch the miraculous egg-laying practices of the leatherback turtle. And caiman smaller versions of the South's alligators are a common sight. And then there's Carnival, which offers wild dances, fantastical costumes and frenzied revellers. Whatever your reason to visit T&T, you have the right guide in hand. Accommodations, restaurants, travel tips, sights, museums, excursions it's all here. A special section is dedicated to the nation's booming yachting industry, with details on marinas, facilities and services. I wish I'd had this book the first time I visited Trinidad and Tobago. The book fully describes the culture of these island people and this knowledge would make a trip to these wonderful islands even more enjoyable. I also believe it's a good choice for readers who can't make the trip but still want to taste the culture. -- Amazon customerI've been to TNT once for two weeks and am returning again in a few months. I bought the book to refresh my memory and, more importantly, get me excited about my return trip. It's a great read, and as the back cover suggests, it really is written for the traveler who wants to experience more than just sunbathing. However, once you've been to Trindad and Tobago, you discover that they are not your generic Caribbean islands. Visiting Trindad and Tobago is more of a cultural vacation than an island getaway. Once you step foot off the plane at Piarco airport, you'll never want to leave, or you'll want to go back once every year. The two islands are full of charisma, and O'Donnell and Pefkaros do a good job of capturing this spirit in the book. You really cannot be intimidated by the cultures of TNT. From the street vendor corn soup, to crab and dumplings, down de islands, Maracas, Pigeon Point, Speyside, fried flying fish, Caribs, lorries, maxis, wining, Trinidad's great bar/club scene, the Northern Range, etc. - this book virtually covers all Trinidad and Tobago vacation opportunities and experiences. -- Amazon customerAn excellent take-long tote, as is the more adventurous Trinidad & Tobago, 2nd Edition by Kathleen O'Donnell and Stassi Pefkaros, which updates information on adventure travel with special focus on the wildlife and culture of the islands. -- Midwest Book Review

Birds of Trinidad and Tobago by Martyn Kenefick,Robin Restall,Floyd Hayes Pdf

Trinidad & Tobago are popular tourist destinations and the islands are also a top location for visiting birders. This comprehensive and portable field guide covers every species found on the islands. The concise text includes descriptions of every species, highlighting plumage variation and distinctions from similar species. The plates use the relevant images from Birds of Northern South America to create new plates specific for Trinidad & Tobago. This new edition has been completely revised. The plates have been extensively re-worked, with many images replaced and repainted. As a result, there are now eight extra plates, and some groups, such as flycatchers, have been repainted almost in entirety. The text has also been updated. This new edition supersedes all previous field guides to these popular islands.
