Tobago Party Week
[Music] We are back in Tobago again this week. Three friends are celebrating their birthday and they've all chosen to celebrate their birthdays in Tobago. So we are going to have three birthday celebrations of three different [Music] types. We're heading out to the first birthday celebration and what a glorious Sunset to start us [Music] off. one of them [Music] well take take off glasses and you have a good side. Yeah man I done capture everybody except Julian. [Music] Our first birthday celebration is a small intimate Type. The man at the head of the table,
it is his birthday and so we've taken him out for dinner it's El Parico restaurant in Crown Point in Tobago. Nice small Italian style [Music] restaurant. So happy birthday to my friend Francis. As I said it's three birthday celebrations, each will be of a different type ranging from the small and intimate to the heavy party jamming and going to see all of [Music] it. he like well you to hold you to hold it up high whereever that is that's perfectly all right W yes indeed [Music] right all right okay. Seems like our plans for sea bathing this week are going to be derailed.
The Met Office has issued a hazardous Seas alert for the next four or 5 days and advise that persons should not go in the sea on Northward facing beaches in Trinidad and in Tobago. So I have come to take a look at the sea this morning where we're staying to see is it really um long period swells with crashing waves. Taking a little walk just a look. Appears they may be right because this is normally a very calm ocean at this point, so taking along walking along to see what it looks like.
We don't seem to be too lucky with Tobago these days. Earlier this year when we came for the jazz festival they closed the beaches because of the shark attack now we've come back for a week and while they haven't actually closed the beaches they said rough Seas. There's a pool where we're staying so we could be in the pool but um when I come to Tobago I'm not really looking for a pool to bathe in I want to bthe in the sea. They' said that these rough Seas are caused by Hurricane Kirk which is moving somewhere in the Caribbean to the north of us. Later today I'll go and um check out a few other beaches and see what the water conditions look like. Can't believe that for the next 4 days it's not advisable for me to go in the
sea. Just when I brought all my snorkling gear and want to check out my new Hero GoPro 11 and uh but I'm not going to be foolish, not going to tempt fate. If the water looks bad I'm not going to be foolish and um insist on going in the water so I'll play it by ear and see how it goes. [Music] Have some friends coming across on the boat this morning I have to ask them, I suspect they're going to get a rough ride. Do you have me. Yes I have you ready ready ready for the ready for the party, very ready for the party very much so. We love the outfit yes check it out perfect all right.
So now we're at the next birthday party this is a 70th birthday celebration. I agree. Big big son in the kitchen putting away and Bunny and Bunny busy cleaning up. Who you think who you think going to be on YouTube. Yeah of course man so big son and husband who dutifully cooked all the food. the dutiful husband, beautiful, I hope you get a good reward later. Sleeping. As the evening goes on more people arrive and everyone starts to get together
and greet each other especially those who haven't seen each other in a long time. [Music] This was a very Scenic spot for a party, on top of a mountain with a wonderful view, a little tricky to get there but once you get there you enjoy the view and you get the party vibes. [Music] h [Music] Meet the woman of the hour, this is her party. [Music] he [Music] As the drinks flow and the music pounds out you know the women have to start dancing. [Music] I'm the party my lips I'm the party my [Music] Lipsy party [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] in my lips time to party my lips time to party my [Music] [Applause] [Music] lips. It would be unheard of to come to Tobago and not go to the beach, so as a break in between the partying we went to the beach today. The weather was reasonable I was therefore able to enjoy the water.
[Music] [Music] I had not planned to return to this beach the next day, however the others in the group said this is where they wanted to be. So we return to Mount Irvine Beach. No it's gone. But the two of them gone. Was two of them but but but they gone, at least well in the areas where I stood they gone now. No I went they gone. all right look yeah right in the center here. Not shark man, [Music] is Big they're very big. No no no no no it's the same thing it's
called Devil Ray but it it's not aggressive. You only only problem you make the mistake and hook it, you ask in trouble cuz it will carry you deep water but other than that no [Music] problem. but is what they I'm just I'm [Music] [Music] Just I never get tired of snorkeling at Mount Irvin Bay and so whenever I come to Tobago mask and fins are always packed in the car. [Music] [Music] [Music] trunk uhhuh [Music] [Music] She says she always watching the videos all right, so this time you have to be in the video. You're always watching the video so this time now you have to be in the video, right correct, so instead of watching all the time now she can watch herself all right okay perfect.
yeah yeah [Music] [Music] This is the sunset to end the day. Everybody from the second birthday party has come and we had a wonderful time on the beach this afternoon. Had not planned to come back here today but they all said they were coming so we came again. Good friends, all good friends, wonderful time reminiscing and remembering about time gone by. Really nice [Music]
and we have one more birthday celebration to look forward to and that will be tomorrow evening. Different Vibe different type of birthday celebration. As it was Robbie's birthday I took him to breakfast and when we got to the place I met Neil and Christine, so we sat and had a birthday breakfast. [Music] Some of our friends were leaving that day so they stopped by early to wish Robbie happy birthday before they headed off to the airport for their flight back to Trinidad. [Music] This party was a poolside barbecue so Crosby and I are seeing about the [Music] meat. Yeah we will I think so well we could wash out the the see yeah [Music] [Music] he [Music] n [Music] Oh I good I I thought um I thought I a see food on on the table. Not quite not quite all right.
[Music] oh all right okay okay [Music] okay all right okay okay. [Music] Each party had a different vibe and this one was more of a sip and chat. As our Tobago party week drew to a close we had a beautiful view of The Moonlight on the water. We have one more day but that we're going to spend relaxing by another another Beach. Well the plan was to go to the beach today and we actually did get to the beach, but it was wet, raining, lightning, thunder. We stayed for 2 hours but it's not fun being on a wet Beach under a tree
with a drop dripping on you. So eventually we decided that's it time to pack up and head back to where we're staying. So I'm back where I'm staying. I was thinking of going fishing but I'm looking up at the sky and I'm seeing the clouds rolling in again and I'm hearing Thunder in the distance and if there's lightning I'm not going to be standing up over a body of water with a rod. So it looks like it's a wet end to our Tobago party week. I hope you enjoyed what I brought to you and if you want to see other activities select one of the videos that will be appearing on your screen shortly to see other Adventures that we had, and look out for another video from Tobago called Bathing in the Middle that will be released soon. Bye for now [Music]
