When I arrived in Trinidad, I received rave reviews about Toco, which is the North Eastern section of the island. I heard how beautiful the beaches were and how it was the most ideal place to visit on the island.
Being the adventurer I am, I decided to hitch a ride to the area. ( With someone from work). We departed at 5:30 am from Port of Spain.
On my way up, Raymond became my tour guide. He graciously stopped at the various hideaway spots to show me the beautiful spots along the way. These included Matura Bay, Salybia Bay , Cumana Bay , Galeria Point and another Salybia Bay. Why there were 2 Salybia Bays in the same area was beyond me. Did they run out of names?
Most of the beaches were unspoilt! Some would say under developed. But it was an awesome feeling to experience the natural beauty of the rugged beaches.
We arrived at his mother's home which over looked Mission Bay. She gave us breakfast and then we went "a touring " with her as she visited Toco Radio station and a few other places to do her usual community work.
The plan was that they would drop me off at one of the villa's nearby. However, Miss Gloria decided to take me on and play my mother for the weekend. I am eternally grateful to her for taking me into her home and sharing her life and family with me.
