Port of Spain May 2008: Leaving downtown Port of Spain

Downtown Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago

It was 4:57a, when the phone rang; it was the front desk with our wake up call. After replacing the phone in its cradle, I looked at my mobile and realized that it was not yet 5:00a. I then turned over and placed the sheet over my head and went back to sleep. Of course three minutes later, the alarm on my phone went off; aargh!

I got up and went to the shower and then woke up my traveling companion in about 10 minutes.

By 5:44a, were downstairs, settling our bill and boarding the 35 USD car service to the airport. It was a slightly bleakly morning, but that changed as the sun came up over the mountain ranges. It was brilliant.
